Re: Stupid question - whats the best way to remove sticky decal res...

Definitely stay away from Nail Polish Remover, as most of this stuff did
contain Acetone, but from what I understand, new Nail Polish Removers do
not have Acetone in it anymore?
Regardless, this still must br pretty potent stuff.

While Naptha (Lighter Fluid) Turpentine, Paint Thinner, Gasoline will
work, and Goo Gone too, one item to use which will never hurt your
paint, and also there will be a side benefit, is automobile wax.

Usually most of these have Petroleum products in them, and the side
benefit to removing the sticky crud, will be placing a protective coat
on the paint finish. While you're at it, do the rest of the Bike too!
