How to remove old sealant from bodywork?.

weekaizer · 2013-05-01 17:58:17

So my rear spoiler has started to lift at the edges and getting worse, think I'm going to have to remove the whole piece and start from scratch, trouble is it was held on with either window bonding or gasket sealant!. Does anyone know how to remove this so that I have fresh bodywork to apply the new coat?!. Thanks!

You can buy a rubber wheel type attachment for a drill this will peel it off no bother.

The 3m strip off wheel is the best thing for it. I ordered mine from amazon. It takes a few minutes to do a flawless job.
