Splitter Flaps Remaining Adhesive

Hey guys, my front lip broke on the freeway so I had to remove it completely. There's a remaining 3M tape that seems to come off with a heat gun, but the glue applicant is pretty tough. Any recommendations or tips? I do have a new lip on the way. Thanks!

I'd try CarPro TarX and a 3M stripe-off wheel.

GooGone is a good product also for removing adhesive residue.

same problem

during the winter months I remove my splitter to get more ground clearance for driving in the snow and have the same ugly adhesive that is left.

I tried heat guns, goo gone and 3M spray adhesive remover. I haven't had any successful .

I haven't tried the wheel yet, but this stuff is very dense and can't image the wheel working .

I have used the wheel to remove a lot of decals and old pinstripes it would be worth a shot looking better at the photos it might be hard to get into those places. I never looked to see if they made different sizes or shapes of the removal wheels
