Hi there,

It's probably been covered before but I'm too lazy to search it. :mrgreen:

Does anyone have any good tips in removing graphic decor on carbon rims without damaging the carbon of course.
The graphics are transfers rather than sticky vinyls.
I have tried scrapping a small part off with a blade & it works but it takes too long & scratches the lacquer which is not ideal.

So any suggestion welcome!

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Chung

    depends on the materials

    try acetone - wear gloves, it's readily absorbed through the skin and is not good for you

    test a small area first to check the lacquer isn't affected
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
