Warm to hot soapy water. S100 does the trick too

I'm sorry, but anyone who'd recommend taking a straight razor to a bike's painted surfaces obviously has been hitting the go-go juice a bit early + too much...

I own a professional detail company here in NH.. Been using a product called "Goof off" for years to remove sap. You can buy it at Home Depot! Lite amount on a micro cloth will take it right off without scratching. Then wash with soap and water.

Good suggestion. That or 3M adhesive cleaner (more or less the same thing - except the 3M adhesive remover is cheaper if you need quantity).


3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984

I'm sorry, but any grown man who puts a super-hero character on their signature must have other "problems". Cute...

Maybe I am just suckin too much dirt here in Afghanistan! Happy 4th of July a-hole! And we can't have go-go juice....
