Removing tank gaurd
 
Hi
I have a tank gaurd which is coming looseand it has the old glue on the back. I am going to take it off and buy a new one, is there anything good to use for taking off this old glue which sticks to the tank ?
Thanks again for any help

Lighter fluid or ordinary petrol worked for me. Meths might be worth a try.

Petrol should do it nicely.

Heard that WD40 will work, never tried it me self though.

I brought a stick on tank guard made of real carbon fibre...it was rubbish. The weave wasn't sealed by anything except the backing glue and the fibres quickly started fraying cos they didn't stick in the glue properly.

In fact the only thing that the glue stuck to like a limpet was the paintwork, left big old snotty blobs of it all over...Good old WD40 shifted it.
