It comes off but elbow grease and hand sanitizer has worked well for me Both my bikes are Matt Black. One is a Supersix without clear coat so it sticks like barnacles ... DieselnDust 1

You are NOT doing this with Stans! Enduroseal rolls off exactly the same ... IF there is some protection/polish on the frame. Whole different level of elbow grease when it dries on a spot whithout polish DieselnDust 1

Why make your life so difficult ChrisF 1
DieselnDust Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Don't be so dramatic. It washes right off with a bit of soap and warm water and your bike gets a nice polish to boot. As NC-Lurker attests< I have washed it of at a Astron Energy Service station with a R5-00 bucket of windscreen wash and a squeee-Geeee. On a matte frame it depends on the degree of matte (surface roughness) and type of paint.
michaelbiker Posted February 4 Posted February 4 The stubborn bits can be removed with a piece of pure latex rubber - an old school pencil eraser should work - just make sure its pure rubber. I have seen people remove clumps of stuff from inside their tires where nothing else worked.
