Will this remove plastic chrome on a Goldwing motorcycle fairing that is also plastic. The chrome is held by 3M tape. Will this work/harm the fairing?

I use UnDu self adhesive remover. It works perfectly & does zero damage. It also works amazing on other things. But for any self adhesive (tape, etc) removal, I always use UnDu because it's the best

It should work. Just remember that this is a rubbing compound. I use it on clear plastic as well as painted models with success. I'm very pleased. Go easy and you should be OK.

I have had this product for a while. In the beginning was not happy with it but as I used it a little more it actually worked very well. Not sure about glass but does work well on chrome. I use it to clean my wheels and does a very good job.

Yes, this stuff is awesome! It lasts a long time, so you don't have to keep re-waxing every 3 months. For me, it lasts about a legitimate year on my car, and about six months on my motorcycle. Before you put this on, clean the chrome with some kind of metal cleaner polish, then apply this as a second protective coat. I'm not too sure how long this will last on those parts though, since they are very hot. Hope this helps

I'm assuming that you're wanting to repair an old rusted muffler and I think that this tape is designed to protect components from heat and not for repair. I have used it on the plastic belly pans on several snowmobiles that I have been rebuilding to reduce potential of heat damage from the exhaust. The tape is a foil with an adhesive backing and is used to reflect the radiant heat away from whatever you want to protect. I can't imagine that it would provide any appreciable amount of strength and the surface that you're applying it to needs to be clean and free from any oils or grease.

sorry, no clue. call permatex and ask. says it's good for everything automotive, and there's a lot of plastic on cars these days, but I'd double-check.

I've never seen it damage a surface, although I suppose it could, since it contains distillates (like toluene?) that might dissolve some materials. More importantly, this stuff is VERY sticky, so on a rough surface you would never be able to completely remove it. For that matter once it gets a good grip, it's about impossible to pull apart anyway. For example, I glued just the red plastic cover from a small reflector (with no backing) to the rear of the seat post on my bike -- just for fun, and extra safety. I put one blob on each side where the reflector touched the post, and masking taped the reflector in place till the glue dried. Years later when I replaced the seat and had to pull off the reflector, first it hadn't fallen off in the meantime, and second it was nearly impossible to get loose, then I had to work at remaining blobs of glue, stuck to chromed steel, with needle nose pliers, to yank them off the metal.

This IS a gun cleaner. It loosens parts that have corroded together. You will find it at most gun shops. I have no idea what it does to plastics.

I have not removed mine, but it is not supposed to. My understanding from the instructions is that you should heat the area a bit with a hair dryer to aid in removal. 3M makes top notch stuff. I am not worried about it when the time comes to remove the film. Stick to the 3M stuff. And no, I don't work for 3m;)

MY husband does all sort of auto detail work his reply is..." as with any sort of plastic enhancer/preserver you need to remove any sort of over spray or wipe over on to painted surfaces as soon as possible. However, none of such products including this one, will do anything more than leave a light film on today's clear coat paints. This product being extremely thin in consistency will wipe off rather quickly should you happen to get any on any painted surface. Any such items IF left on a painted surface are usually very easily removed using a light wiping of things such as wd40, bug tar remover, or even conventional rubbing alcohol. I might add, anytime any such mild solvent is used to remove anything from a painted surface, an fresh application of wax over the cleaned surface is a best practice.

I use this product for plastic airplane and car models. It removes the fine scratches and "foggy" appearance from the "clear" windshields and styrene plastic remarkably well. I would test a portion of your screen and then proceed accordingly.

I primarily use this on Triumph motorcycle cases and it is the best Permatex (or any) product for the job. I've also used it on rubber pipes to metal banjos and it worked well there too. I suspect that it would work well in your situation but I have not used it on plastic and there are so many kinds of plastic that I would test it first. Personally, on threads where gas or oil is involved, I use the yellow Teflon tape -- it seals gasoline so diesel should be no problem.

I have applied it to my cars and motorcycles, all had 3/M chip guard on them and there was no problem at all. I'm not sure about the product you are referring to. It's great stuff!

This is made to clean and polish chrome. It will even remove light rust and pitting. I use it on almost every part on my motorcycle.

Try adjusting the pitch of the screen to be further from the visor or shield of your helmet. The attachment kit is flexible enough to work on my bike - and I ride an 81 goldwing interstate (no stock fairing) and max is a beast. I have to imagine it can work for you asWell - admittedly I have replacedThe windscreen with a batwing fairing but I use the same hardware to mount the fairing as I did this windscreen. It's good - I never had any issues running this windshield.

This may work well. I used it on some severely rusty chrome on the legs of a chair that was made in 1960 and then on some bike metal and it worked REALLY well.
