How do you remove glue from old graphics?

[ghunter]

What do you use to remove the leftover adhesive when you remove old graphics? I tried just about everything from acetone to 3M adhesive solvent and it still took me all weekend to get that stuff off!

Or is it just because it was on a Husaberg:think

Apply heat (heat gun/hair dryer) to the graphics before you peel them and the glue comes with them usually. It make work if you have the graphics off and the glue remained also. Just don't burn your finger. Wear a leather glove and roll the glue up when it's hot. Good luck, hope this helps.

WD40 will take any sticker residue off, then wash with a good soap like Dawn to remove WD40 and you are ready to go!

I do this everytime I replace mine and it works great!;)

I've always used paint thinner then wash with a soap. I have another question related to this that maybe someone could help me with. I have some old stickers on my frame and there half on half off how or what can i do to get these stickers off without taking any paint off?.

you can heat those old stickers up with a heat gun or a hair dryer. that will help them come off easier.

Bug and Tar remover works very good also!:aj:

Acetone and lighter fluid work as well (not mixed... leave the chemistry experiments to Rich :) ).

Go to your local auto paint supply store and tell them you want a pinstripe eraser. Those puppies will take any sticker off anything and won't harm the paint. It's like a giant #2 pencil eraser, except it's on a mandrel and goes in a drill or die grinder.

A product called Goof Off works very good too. It's also great for lots of other stuff too like grease stains on the carpet and removing masking tape residue from the walls after taking posters down.

the best was ive found is just use a sticky part of the old decal to dab the old glue off,,,
takes less then a minute
