Removing Betalink

[Limey]

So I want to remove the performance spoiler my dealer installed with Betalink. Is it even possible to remove this stuff without damaging the clear coat?

I found threads referencing the use of fishing wire and razor blades etc but not convinced as I didn't see evidence of any success with these methods.

Anyone pulled this off or should I have just taped it on myself/factor the cost of a respray?

I replaced my performance spoiler by using a pressure washer. Its an electric 1600psi.

After cutting the wing off with the pressure washer, i got very close to the trunk and blasted the stuck on betalink. I got seriously close.. About an 1/8 inch (or closer) at a 45 degree angle! It did not come completely off but, it was perfectly smooth. In other words, there was a line like it was drawn on with a Sharpie marker.

Since i was replacing the wing, i didn't need to worry about completely removing it. The line of remaining betalink was so thin that it may have been able to be removed with a heavy cut compound.

Hope that helps (if you have a pressure washer)!

Others on cutters have reported fishing line works well
