   Whats the best way to remove glue from paintwork. I had a spoiler on my car but it came loose so i decided to take it off. but it was glued on. Theres a shit load of glue on there that doesnt seem to really want to come off. So whats the best way of getting it off? I'll take a pic and show u in a min. cheers in advance

    i got some rely strong glue iv forgot what it is called 5a it was then i got 2 pennies and glued them on the underneith of the holes and filled them myself and sanded them, and iv bin quoted a few quotes mate but it is between 150-180 quid for the hole boot , but iv smoothed off the talgate aswell so there isnt any number plate holes or anything but it needs work on still and they was saying they will sort that out to, so if thats all you have got to do like then it shouldent be dear to do mate, its only 150-180 quid for me cus of the tailgate needs sorting out like so should be cheap mate
