How to Remove 3M Tape from Car Spoiler

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this Video I am removing 3M auto tape from a used mid spoiler for my Mazda 3. The 3M tape was on there for over 2 years and was really stuck on there.
Basically using a plastic blade and goo-gone I removed all of the tape and adhesive.
Took about 2 full hours and removed all of it.
I think it turned out pretty good.

    REmoved a lot of tape from parts. What works best is a heat gun, a metal 2" putty knife (preferably with slightly rounded edges), Goo Gone, and alcohol. Heat the tape for just 30-60 seconds a small portion 3-5" scrape and move the tape up and off. Pull off small sections until all is off. Then use a small paintbrush and brush on goo gone and let sit for a couple minutes and wipe with a rag. You may have to reapply goo gone and use a small piece of steel wool. Wipe down when all residue has been removed. Pour alcohol on a rag and wipe it all down to remove the goo gone.

    Thats not bad. I had trouble cuz the glue was super dried. Steel wool on CF or epoxy might be too abrasive?? Keep these ideas in mind though for the next one

    Yeah of course. You might want to keep the drl fog lights on a separate fuse than the others. But totally doable

    Hey I still have some tape residue thats a pain to remove even after using goo gone . I want to apply the new 3M tape so I can attach the spoiler. Do you think the residue will affect the stickiness of the new 3M tape? I cleaned the surface with soap, water and alcohol.
