Removing Decals
Hey I need some ideas here, I bought a some used side fairings..one of which had the red silver and white factory decals on it. I got the actual vinyl off with a heat gun no problem....but it left the adhesive behind.....I tried aceytone with a razor scraper...some low grit sand paper.......and its just not coming off...i need some help!

RE: Removing Decals
Just use Brake Cleaner - Gumout. If you used sand paper already, apparently the paint is a minor issue. Just go to autozone, or kragen or any car auto store, buy a Brake Cleaner Gumout can, about 3.19 - 3.69. Use the spray nozzle that comes with it and apply over the left over adhesive. Let it sit for about 5 secs. Then wipe away. Should solve your problems. The long it sits, the more it eats. So if you just wanna eat the left over adhesive, don't let it sit too long cuz then it will start dullling your paint (eating it).

RE: Removing Decals
ok so I went ahead and tried gas.....didnt work. So I went to autozone and looked at googone...all they had was some auto kind thats for taking off bumper stickers and I figured that prolly woulndt be strong enough...so went for the break cleaner...just got done and it works great! DO NOT use this if you are not planning on repainting...took some spots to primer and roughed up the paint pretty bad.....but if your repainting this is by far the fastest and cheapest way to go..I used a small putty knife and a rag...and just soaked it...used pretty much the whole can....its a little hard to get the left over stuff off of the plastic cause it turns into little blobs of adhesive....i found that soaking these and wiping as fast as you can works the best
