If it is rock hard why not save yourself a load of hassle/time/expense/headaches by doing a compatibility test with the glue you intend to use in the future?
If its all being covered with headlining etc, why mess with it? Flatting, wire brush, chemicals etc might affect the integrity of the paint underneath it.
As longed the glue you intend to use doesn't react with it, why mess with it? :ok

I think that's a fair point Elvis, guess I'm just looking to clean it up proper... but the "it doesn't really need it, it's getting covered anyway" route is tempting.
