Don't use any thinner unless u knew the characteristic of it, it will tarnish the gloss of the helmet when one it touches, due to the chemical reaction. Try to use normal oil that you can find, get the super glue gently out.

hmmm thanks but oil?? oil as in petrol?,cooking oil? or lucbriant oil?

Acetone... finger nail polish remover... will soften and remove super glue. But I doubt it would be very healthy for a helmet. Acetone disolves a lot of different plastics.

I "heard" it will remove shoe stains on exhaust pipes too useful but hope it works..gonna try tml since its a holiday

 

not sure but just my 2cents worth (:

[yotsuga]

i'm willing to try it if it doesn't "burn" of the colour of my helmet

You can try thin coat of cooking oil, singer oil or 4T, NOT petrol, diesel, kerosene and do clean up these stain of oils with soap water if succeed.

 

Nail polish is good to remove a lot of things especially plastics, also do we consider the paint job(lacquer) on the helmet to be dissolved by then? Can try and do update.

try furniture polish, i think its sold at most fairprice outlets at the section where the washing powders, dog food, air fresheners, floor cleaners are. brand name vanish, varnish or something. never tried it, heard it works though.

I was over at the GIANT HYPER MART at Vivio (or Vivo) Centre (the one near harbour front)... I think I saw something like that at the super glue centre.

 

Then again.. I am not too sure if it is suitable for your application... it might spoil paint work etc

cool okay..i will go try

[yotsuga]

who say acetone will help....it makes the superglue STAIN WORSE....now more visible..i do admit it that those parts without superglue STAIn is brighter but those with the STAINS got whiter/visible.....

[Pplater]

LOL... so funny Took you ten minutes to try and come back screaming. Lol......

[bluelabel]

No lah.. Strong eagle is a nice biker who contributes to safety discussions in SBF. Dun think he wanted to play a prank on you. Neither do i know if acetone can remove superglue or not. Bu i now i know cannot liao. I was about to try to remove some sticky stuff from my bike.. Hmm... maybe i should try kerosene...

[yotsuga]

HAIZ.....think i gonna use kerso first then oil....will tell u all the results since the helmet already so "white"le

[jB]

waa dude you used so much? omg! hmm i'd take some time to consider which part to try first then after if it fails can use a sticker to cover lo for worse case scenario anyway good luck in your lab test
