3M tape on ceramic coating?

Just got a carbon fiber spoiler that attaches with 3M double sided tape. I'm excited to install it this weekend but I just had the car ceramic coated 2 weeks ago. Anyone tape on a spoiler onto a car that was ceramic coated? Any issues with the tape sticking? Thanks!

You'll want to go over the area with some IPA first.

Try using Isopropyl alcohol on trunk area where spoiler is to be applied. Make sure the Isopropyl alcohol is at least 71%.

Hope that helps

Use ipa, heat both surfaces before, during and after install.
I do this for a living. And have never had an issue installing a spoiler or anything afterwards.
