Removing Lip Spoilers
My SSDD lip spoiler has developed 2 cracks, I'm not sure if its the spoiler or paint finish, and I'm awaiting to see what SSDD will do about it. Obviously I'm not impressed and it ruins the look of the car, so whatever happens its coming off.
I stuck it on with No More Nails tape (the red one) and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of how to remove it without damaging the paint work? Cheers in advance,

Managed to get this off - if anyone has to do it I used some fishing line (kept applying nail varnish remover to it) and a hair dryer. Took some doing, but it came off without damaging the paint work.

Yep, plus, whilst the line didn't damage the paint work, it wasn't so kind to my fingers!!!

Several hours later, your wife/missus has basically said she will bring you gloves - and you just reply 'its alright love, its me vs the f**king elements now, man vs machine, I shall not be defeated' and its pissing it down and tea is cold... But eventually, you got it done, without gloves, like a f**king man, man. Yeah. Matt |

Apply some wax to the area as the acetone will have removed any wax from the paint.
