I took my decals off of my side fairings but that nasty sticky stuff stayed on the fairing and I cant seem to get if off easily.

Any suggestions??:confused:

3m adhesive remover... works great - any decent place that sells auto body stuff should have it - so no autopart place chains (actually O'Reilly can order it and have it next day)

always use a hair dryer to remove decals

goo gone works well for the adhesive

this may sound funny.. but i used a pencil erasor.. like one of the big soft kind..that was after i used a hair dryer and goo gone.. and it all worked but not as good as an erasor.

Not silly at all.. I actually have a eraser that attaches to a drill and it removes stickers and gooey stuff with ease.. Great for those warning decals..
