How do i get a factory sticker off of the tank of a motorcycle fast and without damaging the paint?

I have tried ';Goo Be Gone'; but it takes FOREVER...How do i get a factory sticker off of the tank of a motorcycle fast and without damaging the paint?
Heat it with a hair dryer. Goo gone will take off any residual glue.How do i get a factory sticker off of the tank of a motorcycle fast and without damaging the paint?
Warm the sticker with a hair dryer (NOT a heat gun!) and it should just peel right off. Use your goo be gone to remove any residual adhesive.
rubbing alcohol, or baby oil...
';Goof-Off'; is great, easy to use, available even in drugstores.


Lacquer thinner works- it evaporates fast w/o affecting factory paint.


Rubber cement thinner (art supplies) is ideal, but hard to find, now that studios have gone digital.


Start at the top of sticker, (OK to let sticker get soaked as you go) start peeling and work down, keeping separation line wet. Don't use a metal edged knife to get started; too easy to damage paint. Technique works on some decals, as well.
3M makes a sticker remover that works pretty well. Most any automotive type store should stock it. Besides that heat gun and WD40 will work just take your time.
DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL ON PAINTED TINS...
Hiya


Try the hairdrier and then to get the glue off try duraglit its like a woding it will come off in no time


hope this helps John
hair dryer on low setting, and rub the sticker back. a light amount of goo gone should take care of the left over adhesive residue.
