Moved my TCR 2020 back to Australia and when i was taking it out of the box some of the brown packing tape i used to secure the bubblewrap has got on the frame left quite a bit of residue. Any suggestions to getting it off? WD40?

Recently I used acetone free brake cleaner and afterwards kind of WD40.

Eucalyptus oil is great at removing sticky residue without buggering the paint

Lighter Fluid. I use it to clean bottles, expensive watches etc for photo shoots.

Muc-off make a glue/sealant remover, it’s really effective.

62% off at £3, that’s cheaper than trade…

And added, thank you.

My go to strategy, in successive steps assuming the 1st doesn’t work: muc off > dish soap > isopropyl alcohol > clean cooking oil. Gets most things out cleanly and without damaging surfaces.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
