Default HELP...Tape Adhesive Removal

I just finished removing the windshield header tape and does she look good


I have tried alcohol(rubbing kind),decal remover and heat gun. Had to be very careful with the heat gun. Nothing works.

Anyone know of a product or procedure that I can use before I pull out the remaining 5 hairs on my head?



Yes, i searched first.

Raul had some adhesive remover that worked great on my windshield tape when we removed it. Maybe he can recommend a good brand.

I've always used heat and goo-gone with success on other adhesive issues.

Goo Gone does wonders.

Doesn't WD 40 works wonder to remove any kind of adhesive?? of course after that you may need some degreaser.

Or you can get a can of spray polish from any motorcycle shop. it's like a spread wax and it works great.

Hey Lee, no issues with sanding marks under the tape? I read this OLD thread https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...=0&#entry851241 about removing the tape and there were sanding marks under it. I would hope they have resolved those by now.

See just another reason why Berlina is the best color....no windshield tape .
