I got this tip from my wife..............After the pain in the butt process of using a blow dryer to remove a sticker, you're usually left with that sticky residue. I used to use Goof-Off, which works well, but can damage the finish if not used correctly. So my wife recommends Vegetable oil (the stuff for cooking) just put some on a rag and rub away, after a minute all the residue is gone and no harmful chemicals to ruin the finish.

i shall try that today

 

[ncrider]

nice tip.

if ya talking about the licence stickers on the inside of car windows the best way is to use wet paper... thoroughly wet a few pieces of paper and then wring them as dry as ya can... take the wadded up paper and put it against the sticker... come back in a few hours and the thing including the glue peels off... works best when it s warm.. haven t tried it in this miserable weather here...

Hmmm, now I can stop using acetone. I'll have to try that next time I have a nasty sticker.

 

[phlegm]

WD40 works, too.

WD40 works, too.

*alcohol is great if you don't want to chance the finish with wd40. You can also find someone that works in a hospital, and they can get these cool little pacds that remove it.

the white lightning cleaner works REALLY well. i've used it for years now. its safe. it also says it can clean disc rotors too.

Alcohol doesn't always work well for me.

18th on the WD-40..

and aircraft remover... removes more than the sticky residue

 

[fuzzynutz]

wd40 also gets rid of the environment!

 

[wisc fr-rider]

I use this goo gone stuff, works great, and not very harsh....never had issues damageing paint or skin or finish or anything, it think its based on some natural citrus stuff...

 

[H8R]

I usually use denatured alcohol, or in case of a really bad sticker problem, an oxy-acetelyne torch.

:evil:

[Serial Midget]

Will any of these methods work on XC bikes?

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

No, you need to use Eau D'Toilett.

 

[stinky|Dan]

i use gasoline. It was a trick that was recommended to me by a panel beater.

I like eucalyptus oil. Works well and smells gorgeous

Of course, my mum's australian so it's easier to get hold of it

 

[firetoole]

if you use goo gone and a small hand sander with the buffer paper on it
works awesome

I pollished my santa cruz like that
