Red Saddles...

GREMLIN:
I've a couple of red saddles here I'm looking to spruce up before selling them on.   :)

There's a very early Elina, stamped '80, that although quite clean had the lightening bolts along the sides, now they've gone there is some adhesive residue left behind in the surface texture still.
Next there is a Viscount (mongoose) Aero saddle that was a right mess when I sourced it. Covered in oil, paint, rust etc. It cleaned up nicely but looks a faded pinky colour now.

So lads, any idea's on how to get the adhesive out of the Elina without damaging it, and what exact red Dylon colour would you suggest recolouring them both with
I may as well do both at the same time, can't hurt can it?

Thanx,  G.  :daumenhoch:

mark 2:
WD40 should break down the adhesive ;)

GREMLIN:
I think I did try WD40 initially.  I'll go give it another try with it now.  Thanx m8.   :daumenhoch:  G.

Bob_Acid:
Couldn't you get Dell to do you some stickers to cover the residue?
