Cleaning stickers off Carbon.

[steveindenmark]

I have taken some stickers off the underside of my Carbon road bike and would like to remove the residue.

Normally I would use White spirit or turps. Would this effect the Carbon?

I used something on fibreglass years ago that made it go soft and so I am a bit wary.

WD40

 

[ianrauk]

no it wont effect the carbon.

Ianrauk is right, it won't affect the carbon, in fact, nothing you have under your kitchen sink can affect carbon.

However, some stuff can affect the paint (lacquer) painted onto carbon.
Common sense should dictate what that may be.

Oh, yeah, it's next to the Kango that I use to change my brake blocks.

I've not been lusted after by somebody from Sintellens for a long time...

turpentine or white spirit, WD40.

Another WD40 vote. It works.

Hah! Common sense! CycleChat!

What can I use to take the decals of my Campag wheels?

Thanks guys. The angle grinder did the trick.

I was surprised that the bike didnt shrink when I washed it.
