Tank Information Sticker
Hi guys, I tried to remove the tank sticker containing information (in French?) but with no success. I mean, the silver text got removed but the sticker is still very much visible and I cannot remove it in any way, I tried heat gun, adhesive thinner but it's sticked amazingly good.
If any of you is still there, I would appreciate if you can take a picture of it so I'll redesign it, reprint it and fix it there  Thank you |

In the US, we have this product called Goo Gone. It does an amazing job with the adhesive from stickers.

Goo Gone. It works better than anything else I've tried for removing stickers. It's an orange-oil based product so if you have something similar in your country, get it.

Goo gone is excellent
 and it's citrus based so no harmful chemicals, for now until FDA or California slaps a sticker on it for cancer causing agents lol.

Thanks guys for your feedback but really no luck even with a product similar to goo gone. Anyway I managed to find a picture of how it was before all the text disappeared to oblivion.
This is what I am trying to remove:

That looks like it's just an English-French translation guide. Rather than redoing everything on the bike in another language to comply with labeling regulations, they can probably just slap that sticker on and call it good.
The oils in peanut butter are also good at breaking down adhesives. http://www.networx.com/article/we-te...h-peanut-butte http://one-parade.com/how-to-remove-...peanut-butter/

You'll need to at least peel that sticker off first, then work on removing the sticky residue left behind. |
