rx7500hpt2 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Posted December 21, 2003 Try a hair dryer to heat the sticker up. It will peal easier. Laquer thinner will work to remove glue. Quote
Skiddz Posted December 21, 2003 Report Posted December 21, 2003 Use Goof Off to remove leftover sticker "funk". Denatured alcohol will work too. Not sure what laquer thinner will do to the plastic but I do know MEK or Acetone *will* eat it. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Posted December 21, 2003 water and soap will work pretty good on gettin those stikcers loose to, and if you have any extra of the sticky crap still no there, leave it' it'll help hold on the new graphics Quote
blk02banshee Posted December 21, 2003 Report Posted December 21, 2003 laquer thinner and alcohol will make your plastic brittle and it will crack easier. Your best bet is the hair dryer, or sometimes(depending on the sticker) you can use a hot, WET towel, and lay it on the sticker for about 20 minutes or so, and the sticker should slide right off.

Otis Posted December 21, 2003 Report Posted December 21, 2003 Goof Off's some pretty strong shi....be careful it'll dull/fade paint real easy. I've used Goo Gone on my street bike and truck for years. Works good and no fading or dulling. If ya live in the South West leave your bike out in the sun for a few hours, that'll get your stickers to come off easier... ... Quote
BansheeBrian Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Get some 409 or alcohol. Alcohol work nice on dissolving the sticker goo. Quote
ledofthezep Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 I picked up a $4 can of some adheasive remover from O'Reillys & it worked like a charm. Quote
philshee Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 Once you get the sticker peeled off, paint thinner will get the glue stuff off without harming the plastic. Quote
MX Black Beauty Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I picked up a can of some lemon scent bug and tar remover from Walmart and it worked great and didn't dull the plastic or anything and still left a shine. Quote
