Civic...You must have had some AFTERMARKET stickers on your bike.
Im into srads hard and heavy and the residue left behind from the FACTORY suzuki stickers is inhumane! That shit could survive nuclear fallout!

I know this is reviving an old post, but...

Srad, any luck in getting the adhesive off? My front left lower is stickered, upper and left are painted. Was out there all night last night tryign to get the decals off so I can start some front end paint prep. You ain't lying about that adhesive... m ust have been designed by NASA. WD40, Goo Gone, nothing has cut that stuff. I'm about to try acetone to see what happens, have some Ronsonol hiding out from the kids too. But damn!

That rubber wheel thingy that another member suggested seemed to work well.

Dammit. I want to order one but it'll take 2 weeks to get here!

UPDATE: Was going to go for a ride (I'm on leave) but it's threatening to rain. Went out w/ some acetone to see what it does and it turns the adhesive-from-hell into a smearable gummy residue that comes off w/ Goo Gone and elbow grease -- along w/ any and all wax that was there. Now know how to do my frame/pod covers and tail section.
