What about glue off paint?

I would do wd-40 on paint too. It brakes down the glue but is safe for paint.

3-M adhesive remover. Sold at Walmart, Home Depot, & Lowe's. Great stuff. Hasn't harmed paint or chrome. Used it on my black denim paint with excellent results.

Default Tube Tires

I have a 05 Softail Deluxe with tubes in my tires because I upgraded to the profile laced wheel. Has anyone experienced problems with them in comparison to tubeless tires. I haven't had any problems yet but a friend of mine insists they are bad news.

Uh....you might want to start a new thread for this in the tire and wheel section of the board. This is a thread on removing glue from chrome. No harm ho foul, but you might get a better response in the right forum.[sm=signs003.gif]
