The main thing is heat.. so gotta use a heat gun to basically melt the adhesive, while running a thin wire in between. Have heard of some who have used fishing line for this and got good results. It is going to be a long a slow process, so you gotta be patient. If you rush it, you're gonna remove more than just the glue.

If you've had the spoiler on for long though, there's a chance you may already need to paint it anyway, since the colour fade would be obvious.

P.S. Not sure if hair dryers would work as a heat source.... I do know of some who've removed tint adhesive using hair dryer, but it wasn't thorough. They still had to scrap some of the bits that still remained after. Might be worth a try, if you don't wanna buy a heat gun just for this one off.

Hi Devillian,thanks lot for d advice.By e way do u know any shop that can do it?

I would think any decent body kit & spray paint shop would be able to handle it. Maybe you could look through the Vendors section and write in to those who do spray painting?

No worries, let us know how it goes. Am sure quite a few would benefit from knowing the work involved.
Spray Paint shops should have strong enough adhesive removers. Plus if you did find the colour fade difference a bit unsightly you can get it sorted at the same place.

you can try asking Obermaier in Jalan Ipoh. I think they can do it.
