Denaturalized alcohol. Any other thing will damage your frame's paint.

 

Use a white eraser

 

I'm not sure about Methanol (although it is dilutable with water unlike other fuels). Have you tried Metholayted Spirits?? I've also found Tee-Tree oil to be good too.

There are many products on the market now designed to remove the residue from stickers. It might be your best bet.

Thats interesting - I've never heard of using an eraser before. How well does it work??

Cheers, dave.

 

Methanol won't hurt the paint, but it probably won't take the glue off either.

If the paint is old, finger nail polish remover (acetone) will remove the glue relatively easily. Test the remover on small bit of paint before going crazy with it.

 

I have no idea if this will work for you, but this past summer, my mother bought me a set of burly steak knives, and each knife came with a sticker on the blade. When she removed the stickers, the tough-as-nails glue remained stuck on the blades, so she used plain ol' vegetable oil or olive oil and rubbed the glue right off. I was surprised and impressed, so maybe that's an option?

 

WD40 is very good for stripping.....

the glue off the paint without harming the paint, liquid wrench will do the same. I've seen them doing it on racing cars in the pits. That's where I learned about it.

Do you need to wipe the WD-40 off with anything else before applying the decal?? I'm positive about it.

 

have you tried using more tape to get it off?

If you're worried about chemicals in something hurting the paint job you might just want to take some really sticky tape, duct, scotch, whatever you have handy and just stick on the gunk and remove several times. Usually it takes everything right off and leaves a perfectly clean surface. Has worked for me a bunch of times in the past to get some nasty sticker or tape residue off of surfaces.

 

Just wipe it with a slovent

Even soap and water. Dawn dishwashing detergent is best for that.

 

WD-40. Just spray it on the glue and spray it on an old t-shirt, rub it around till the glue loosens. Repeat, using a clean spot on the t-shirt, till the glue is gone. No pain.

 

Im going to try rubbing alcohol. If that doesnt work then its wd40. Thanks for the input.

 

I've always used Goo Gone for this sort of thing (exactly this sort of thing, in fact). The stuff is amazing. It easily takes off glue residue, yet I've never once had it harm paint. I've used it on everything from my bike to my fiberglass radio controled gliders.

Another vote for Goo Gone...I use it all the time to get sticker crap off of my frames. Smells good, too.

 

Ethyl Alcohol will take it off no problem.

 

turtle wax bug and tar remover works just as good as goo gone but is designed not to harm paint(obviously) and leaves the cleaned area nice and shiny due to its wax base
