Look at this stuff, it removed most if not every mark on my white stickers, or the number stickers, this one had black skid marks from my boots after a fall, and nothing else would take it off.
Sorry for the blurry pic   it just didnt wanna come our right  


Before   (i have removed some if it earlier already)


After        


Just thought i'd share it with you

LOL, what type of polishes are they? i woild love a super polish

But those black skid marks were pretty tough. it actually felt like it was ingraved into the sticker lol. like if you run youre finger over it, it felt like somethin had scraped it. <---- does that make any sense lol

Oh ok cool, so next time i know who to ask

What type of polish/wax do you use on your bikes?
Also if you can find out for me by your dad, what i can use to remove little spots on the frame and such, it doesnt wanna go away lol.
It's very similiar to these spots on the under side of the engine
here's a pic

Force,
Sounds like Karel just got another Trail Tip for the magazine. Tar remover, huh? Never tried that. My boots always scuff my number plates. That and those other guys' tires that use me for traction from time to time. You guys know we love and rely on getting this stuff from you, right? Send it to Karel.kramer@sorc.com and he'll put it in the magazine. Make sure the subject says Trail Tips.

Oh yeah Alex that's actually a good question, i said i'll send it without thinking, but is that Karel's email address? and must i send in the idea Specificly about Tar remover? or just scuff removers as a general subject?

Yes Karel's is Karel.kramer@sorc.com.  Title it "Trail Tips" then basically put whats in your first post; what you used, why you used it, and how it worked.  If you can get a non-blurry picture that would help too.

We use simple green as well; it works great. I've had people tell me if you let it sit too long on aluminum it dulls it but I haven't had that issue (but I also don't let it sit too long as well!).
