Default HELP: How do I remove glue from paint/chrome??

Hey,

Yesterday during a project I accidentally got a little Gorilla Glue on a couple spots on my fairing and headlight chrome ring... I tried various things but it was really tough to get off. I got most of it but there's got to be an easier way (solvent??) to remove the remaining little spots that won't harm the bike's finish...

HELP!

Is there a solvent or whatever that removes dried on glue safely???

Thanks!

Might want to try GooGone. It works for the sticker glues really well and doesn't seem to harm paint at all, but not too sure about how well it will work for hardened glue.

I agree with the GooGone. Seems to work well with most adhesives..

Love your bike gconklin
