There may be a chemical to loosen the old stuff, I use a propane torch, but the heat is an issue, I'd chemical strip it, or get it media blasted.

Yeah, I re-read your post and realized the car was complete...shipping would be a fortune! If you want to start up this kind of business, it's rather costly, to do it right, it would be about 100K US. Good luck!

I've always used just light heat from say a map gas torch and a scraper, then a good wipe down with a good wax and grease remover like PPG's DX330.

Yeah, softening it up with a propane torch for a few seconds works well, then scrape it off, then use a chemical to clean the residue off.
