I’ve spent 15+ hours so far on my back under my firebird removing it. Hands down the dirtiest job Ive ever done.

I hate that ruberized under coating but it does work, my 81 had the original dealership coating on and it lasted 30 years and I removed it. I will tell you it is HELL wore brushing off but halfway through I realized brake cleaner will dissolve it or get the Eastwood rubber undercoating remover.
For rust treatment, find the area and use a converter that will change the Iron oxide into iron phosphate then spray with a encapsulater or other primer then hit it with paint of your choice.
Depending on where you are I would be happy to help or atleast show you when it is warmer.
