Removal of rim sticker

[mdarto]

Hi guys, just wondering whats the best method to remove off the rim stickers from the rim. Asked alot of sticker shops on whether they provide the service anot but none wanted to do therefore i decided to do it myself.

 

All advices and responses are greatly welcomed. Thanks in advance. =)

I got 2 ideas in my mind. Soapy water and/or WD-40 and/or grease remover.

 

Works great for me when i pasted a decepticon badge on my YBR head fairing. Used soapy water. Didn't work. Used WD-40. Work 75%. Then used grease remover. Cleaned everything off.

 

I got double sided tape on my wooden door. Used WD-40. Works, but time consuming. Left it for a few days. It got worse. More difficult to take out. Soapy water all didnt work. In the end used lighter fluid. Works. But some scratches on the door which can easily be fixed with lacquer or wood stains. Was recommended by a hardware shop aunty to use turpentine.

u can try to ask those sticker shop, i believe u got $$$ they will do for u. If u want a 1/2 fxxk condition on ur rims than u try to diy (because i try that and took me close to 1/2 day to finish 1 rim and it is a 1/2 fxxk condition) but than sometime i rather use the time to stick sticker for other ppl than doing 'dirty job' for other... No harm asking.. singapore so big, got $$$ sure got solution..

bro,

 

if u intending to put another type of rim stickers, u can visit those sticker shops and get them take it out, clean it off and put a new one for u...

 

if u intending to take out your current rim stickers and not putting any in future, try googone... it works extremely well with stickers residues... u can get this at those home fix diy shops...

 

hope it helps... cheers!

Thanks guys for the feedbacks. I also though got money can get shops to do for me but in the end, all say dont provide this service.

 

Not wanting to paste another rim sticker on my rims. So i might go for the diy methods you guys suggested. Will those remover agents you guys recommend eat off the paint on my rims?

bro, my understanding for googone, it is paint friendly...

[mdarto]

So i just put the "googone" on the sticker and just wait for the agent to do its work?

bro, i dun think it work that way...

i peel off the sticker, it will usually leave some sticker residue...

then i use googone dap with clean and smooth cloth and lightly rub the residue and let the liquid break down the residue before i apply some more light rubbing on it and it will come off le...

Oh okay. The ripping part is damn diffcult. Tried before on my previous bike espically if using those cheapo rim stickers. Shall try it out when my bike come out next week and let you guys know. Thanks alot pichudot and the rest.

 

Hmm, wouldn't turpentine eat off the paint on the rims? Just wondering.

just my advice as well.... u can also use lighter fluid to remove the sticky residue from the stickers removed. please remember to removed it slowly and not just pull it off fast as it will be a hard to peel the edge again.... happy peeling.....
