I have always been wary of Turps on the bike paintwork. I have in the past used WD40 or standard bug and tar remover both work really well. Dont let them dry keep it wet and rub gently with a soft cloth changing the area of the cloth regularly. Wash it well with hot soapy water afterwards and give it a polish! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I use a little white spirit on a soft cloth and gradually rub it off.
Lighter fluid is ace aswell and wont harm plastics or painwork , just wax the area after for a superb finish .WORKS ON TAR ,OIL ,GREASE , GLUE , STICKERS, CLEANS METAL ,AND REMOVES SILICONE READY TO SPRAY WITHOUT THE RISK OF FISHEYE. and much more i allways have 4 or 5 cans about .
Lighter fluid gets my vote.
I've been using it for years on removing gums and glues from plastic & glass too - remove as soon as possible though!
Rabb.
Turps didnt work, or Vodka and when i tried a nail polish removed pad thing it didnt just take off the glue.. its took off half the screen...
We did say lighter fluid , nail poilish remover is acitate based (spelling) will distroy paint plastic,s and some rubber ,decals .nail polish on a stone chip is fine removers NOT FINE .Shame its ruined the screen chap expencive lesson .Hope you get it sorted soon .Originally Posted by Taylor911
"Rubbing alcahol" from the chemist would have been ok....
Use a hair dryer and heat it up - should peel off nicely and then use wd40 to clear up the remaining residue. That's what we use on the off roaders and their well stuck on
