Try any one of these ... White Spirit, WD 40, GT80, Panel Wipe (pre-paint) or lighter fuel  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away

Good old fashioned Petrol works brilliantly especially on Chrome Frames. Pour just a little on a nice soft coth and gently rub takes minutes and it's done. Buff dry with another soft cloth and bingo perfect result.

If you don't want to steal fuel from your neighbours, you can buy De Solv It Spray from Wilko's/Supermarkets. Costs a couple of quid, and removes sticker residue from just about anything with ease  :daumenhoch:

Brasso or Duraglit, the sort that comes in the tin with a wadding cloth, does the job and you wont set fire to you/your bike/shed ect.......
