I think brake fluid would be good for getting off the underbody sealer. I know when my tranny was leaking all that crap was melting off. Brake fluid is even worse.

When I visit my friends shop, we like to spray eachother with it and light it on fire.

Okay, we don't ALL own intrepids, okay. 
Since Colin already spent probably 10 bucks for the cleaner, how many burned brain cells does the extra $10 save?

The cleaner I was using yesterday contains Tetrachlorethylene.
Which is not cool.. Depending on my exposure I could have been seriously injured..
At 100 PPM your eyes usually get irritated.. And mine were last night.. So I was exposed to at least 100 PPM.. And you start getting dizzy at about 200 PPM.. Which is what I think happened.
Unfortunately it's the next day and I'm still just a wee wee tiny bit light headed.. If it keeps up into the later day I'm going to see a doctor or something (as recommended by the MSDS..)
I'm never using this **** (in my little garage) again.
