I started removing the big "TT" stickers on my fairings. I have one side off but there is a good amount of leftover sticky stuff.

I searched online and have tried the following medium solvents:

- Dish soap + water
- Lighter fluid
- Nail Polish Remover (sorry wife)

So far, the nail polish remover works the best at dissolving but I estimate I'll need a few gallons of it to get the job done. It's still way too weak.

Any suggestions?

WD40?

I tried wd40 no workie and I tried a "goo gone" product not much help either... it worked but... went through a whole bottle on 1 T. ummm so i used an auto detailing buffer and some more "goo gone" product and made really quick work of the adhesive...

I used Ronson's ligher fluid, a soft cloth, and a lot of time. Lately, I have discovered that plain old charcoal ligher fluid works just as well. It is a pain in the behind no matter what, but it sure is worth it.

Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

Believe it or not....use peanut butter....smear it on the spot....come back the next morning and just wipe the bike off

There are enzymes in the peanut butter than break down the adhesive

I've had success with this.....let me know if it works for you too

Chain cleaner?

Acetone works wonders (if you can find it in the industrial quantities). And for added fun, mix it with some gasoline and get some Gasatone. It will pretty much remove anything, maybe even the paint. Also Paint thinner works OK, only used it for a few different things.

Be cautious though - most of the products discussed in this thread will go through paint just as happily as gunk. Goo-gone in particular - I used it to remove adhesive on the insides of my car doors, and it went right through the clear and color to the primer.

WD40, give it some time to work, a terry cloth towel, some elbow grease, more WD40 as needed followed by a spray cleaner to remove the residual WD40.
