    hi there are 2 small rectangular stickers on my ped that i want to take off. is there any easy way of not leaving rectangular marks from where they had been? will white spirit do the job? or Wd40?

    peel the sticker off and clean it with chain lube remover if u have any if not you can always use hot soapy water and elbo greese. unsure weither wd40 will work but it might

    petrol is good for removing any remaining backing glue as long as you wash it away relatively quickly afterwards.

    will any of these chemicals actually strip the paint and glue?

    just use a hairdryer or hot air gun and if any sticky shite left just use a bit of thinners and shudnt mark the paint if your carefull you only need to use a little bit

    exactly, hair drier is safest then lighter fluid, thinners, meths anything like that will remove the crap left behind

    after about year stickers (well proper vinyl ones) go hard and have to be heated or they just break up when you try to peel them.
