Hi

I have been trying to remove all the logo´s and grafics from my 3T handlebars. I have used acetone, but there is a small portion of the logo left, its just a white haze, but you can still just about make out the logo´s. What´s the next step? soak it in acetone for a while or?

Use Goof-Off to remove that last bit of "haze" you're describing.

MEK wiped the logos right off my 3T stem (inadvertently I might add).
Maybe it would work on the bars too.

magic eraser with acetone does wonders too.

I don't get what's with this removing logo's from everything, just silly.

Thanks for the suggestions Will be in the workshop later to test :) the reason for removing them is that they where worn and looked tatty, that's why I want to get rid of them :)

3T must love seeing these threads. I can see why though, it's not very subtle, and worse if it's tattered. We used to do the same to all skateboard wheels regardless of brand, white only.
