so I bought a dirty bike....

[elguapo]

Alright, I am very proud of my new Big Dog, but it doesn't look like it has been detailed since it was originally purchased. So I have spent every night in the garage cleaning it. My question is, I took the stickers off the down tube. They came off, but the glue did not. What do you suggest I use to remove the glue without damaging the paint?

Mineral spirits!

 

[jimizee028]

wax and grease remover will do it,which to unknowing consumers is actually tar and bug remover,nail polish remover,i've even heard wd 40 works but have never tried that

Goo Gone



Wanna come detail mine next???

 

[elguapo]

Thanks for the info Raywood. I would detail yours, but it would be a cold ride to WA.

I second the Goo Gone, it works great and won't soften the clear coat.

 

[KRAUT]

WD 40

 

[Tim]

WD40 works great.

 

[chacha]

Goo Gone and WD-40 both do ok. Don't Laugh but Peanut Butter will break down the glue better than either.

Are you just trying to see if I will really rub peanut butter on my bike?

Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[ZZ CHOP]

:lol: Smooth or crunchy?? I cant help it I just had to ask.

 

[chacha]

Crunchy probably not a good idea -- too likely to scratch something. :roll:

Serious about PB and glue removal -- give it a try sometime. :up:

Hell yea! I used it on the ol' lady it really does take the glue off

 

[pink chopper]

also you can use lighter fluid..it's really easy...WD40 or goo gone works excellent too....my Dad thinks that WD40 is miracle fluid and puts it on his hands when they ache!!! No sh*t..he says it works!!!
And always remember my little handy tip about wiping off the black after polishing alum...baby powder on a clean cloth takes it right off...full of handy tips today ain't I???
