Scott Rosenberger Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 trust me on this one, Believe it or not WD-40 and it wont hurt the finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Naptha falls into the solvent category, though it does evaporate quickly (and makes a really pretty flame when ignited! Most of the "flames" you see in movies are courtesty of naptha. It photographs very well). I've not tried the eraser method, though it did work on my SATs. "A-C-D-C....A-C-D-C....A-C-D-C..." :-P WD-40 is a good suggestion. Make sure to clean off the body really well if you go this route. My suggestion is to use Goo-Gone. It's great for removing adhesives, and won't hurt your finish (of course, test in an inconspicious area...like your buddies PRS. LOL). Pour on a little bit of Goo-Gone, swirl it all over the adhesive with your finger. Wait about 10 minutes. Come back with a paper towel and wipe off the adhesive. Clean up with your favorite cleaner or polish; I usually spray some alcohol into a paper towel, wipe the area clean of any debris, then polish it with a cloth....but that's just me. Goo-Gone is good stuff. The $1.49 bottle should last you about a year. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 i have a lot of luck removing adhesives with electric motor spray for rc car motors. Its probably the same as any electric cleaner only with a short dorks picture on it. But the rule here is always test on an area thats hidden if possible.(under pickguard etc..)

butnut Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I second WD40. If it can safely remove the 3M glue from hell double stick emblem adhesive, sticker goo will be cake. If it's old sticker goo, you can heat it up with a blow dryer to soften it and shoot the WD40. Use an old credit cards edge as a scraper. Clean up with alcohol and wax well.
