i took the disgusting factdory decals off my floval but it's left horrible gunk on the frame........i've tried hot soapy water...didn't touch it, i've tried nail varnish remover but it's not really making any headway on it either.

anyone know of a good product for shifting the old gunk?

I'd ring the local shop/b&q store first Rob to make sure

If not , ebay is your friend

White spirit has always worked for me.

Stickystuff remover gel spray.Get it from wilkos at about £1.99 - spray on, leave for 5 min, rub with finger and the residue will come off. Being a gel it will stay where you spray it.

Petrol is pretty good

Lighter fluid is good and readily availiable. Doesnt seem to harm powder, not sure about paint.....

and the fumes are nice too

i used WD40 in the end.......worked a treat

brass monkey! · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2009, 08:08 PM »

nail varnish remover would have been an option
