Looking to restick my spoiler and wanted to know how to remove tigerseal when you get a bit of spillage.
This will be for the re-appliciation so nice and wet not hard and dry.

What do you guys use?

Thinners when its fresh, but be careful of the paintwork, so not too much and don't rub too hard. Pop a bit on a clean rag and keep using clean parts every time you have to wipe a bit off.
 If its old stuff, it has to be removed mechanically. ie scraped with blade.

I find that meths works very well too, and its a little less threatening than thinners. Its an acquired taste though   s:D :D s:D

Credit card and some wd40 and slowly work away at it, you can use a razoard blade to get the thicker bits off, auto glym bug and tar remover works to get the last bits of residue.

razor blade? I think I prefer the cloth and meths option, that sounds a bit excessive!!

Russ is talking about how to mop up spooge spillage while he's in the process of sticking it on, though, so it'll still be wet - I don't believe he's asking how to remove old tigerseal that's already set (for example after removing the spoiler) so I'm not sure he'll need the razor blades  s;) ;) s;)
