I thought it was Non-Acetone to not ruin a finish. I used to use that stuff on my guitars and my bikes (excpect my road), but never had to worry about a chrome finish. Try wiping a small amount on someplace you won't noticed, like the inside of the dropout.mediaexplosion said:I just bought an '04 Pista. I want to de-mark it. I peeled off everything that was obviously a sticker. How do I get the Bianchi logo and the other markings off without damaging the chrome. My first inclination is Acetone and a rag. Any other suggestions that won't damage the chrome finish?
I dont own one but I have seen one. It reminds me of a PT Cruiser. Trying to look classic but failing miserably.StartTday said:I thought it was Non-Acetone to not ruin a finish.

Personally, I though '04 had a cool looking frame, but its the components that really turned me off.
