Sticker removal?

Question

if i want to remove stickers from my mountain bike frame whats the best way??? is heat the best way or is there some sort of liquid you can use?

Answer 1

theres a liquid called goo be gone. not sure if it works on bikes but it might

Answer 2

depends on whether the stickers are under the lacquer or not, but you could try using a hair drier to warm the adhesive and soften the sticker, then theoretically just peel them off.

Answer 3

I usually use 3M adhesive remover. Squirt some on a rag, lay it on the sticker, cover with alum foil to reduce evaporation then try to peel it off after a few minutes. Some trial and error will be needed to determine the waiting time and try a test area first to make sure the paint is not affected. Of course this will not work on a clear-coated bike.

After removing the sticker the glue residue can be removed with more adhesive remover.

Answer 4

Put water on them, then use a hairdryer, and the adhesive glue should just melt and let them peel off cleanly.

Answer 5

don't use heat you may damage the paint, or worse still the frame welds. Try white spirit for a simple low cost solution.

Answer 6

easiest way is to use 409 on a rag!

Soak a rag with 409 or any multipurpose cleaner and push against sticker you want to remove for 5 to 7 min

the sticker should just wipe off after that
