Default Frame stickers

I did a quick search in the frame/suspension section. What is the best/easiest way (I'm generally lazy) to remove those dumb stickers off the frame down tube??

Plan A: Scraping/soaking or what? I tried a little with a razor and could feel it doing something not good to the frame paint,[&:]

Plan "B", ask someone

I'm opting for plan "B"

Any good ideas from you sticker removing gurus?

I've used lighter fluid and patience in the past.

They sell this stuff called, Googone. Not sure where I bought it but works great, takes glue off and not paint.

I tore it off slowly and hit it with Goo-B-Gone. Let the Goo-B-Gone sit on there for a minute or so and then rub the sticky residue off. Same deal with the reflectors and A/C sticker...really cleans it up.

Ditto. I also used Goo-B-Gone on my A/C sticker and reflectors with good results.

the key is to make them hot first, heat them up with a blow dryer or heat gun...... then peel them off and the clean up will be minimal

Damn! I was going to say Googone......you must be the only guy that hasn't heard of it. Works like a charm.

good luck

What vegashd said. Goo gone is only needed on what is left after the peeling off prior to heating with a hairdryer. This is the only way to fly when peeling off stickers...
