I just finished removing about 50 lbs of rubberized crap from the front
end of my 79 Scirocco using only a putty knife and sandblaster. 
Scrape off the bug stuff, followed up with blasting. Its slow work but it
got the job done. I imagine you could just scrape off the big stuff like
I did. I don't know of any chemical means to remove rubber. if there is
such a beast, its got to be extremely hazardous. (Read- rubber gloves
wont protect you. ouch.) 
GL!
