Default Patch and Polish Problems

I have to remove a patch from my leather jacket and would like to know how to get the glue that is used under the patch off the jacket without harming the leather. Also, I have a 2007 Electra Glide Standard and got a few spots of polish on the inner fairing (black) and have not been able to get it off. It dried and has been on there since last summer and nothing seems to remove it. Thanks.

May have to take the jacket to a leather cleaners shop.

On the wax, (and yes I'm serious) dab some peanut butter on it and then wipe off. It is great for getting down in the dimples of textured items.

Goo Gone is safe for leather it will actually make it look better!

Yep - goo gone will take care of it but the holes will show, that is what a vest is for.

I got turned on to a product this year called crud cutter. I live in my RV and the stickers on the front were peeling my neighbor told me about this stuff it's amazing because it's made to take off the glue under wall paper and stuff like that.

For removing the polish you may want to try spraying a little WD-40 on a rag and wiping the area.
