Logo removal
I'm getting back into riding after a bit of a hiatus, and I can't help but notice that manufacturers now tend to plaster their respective logos all over the components they make. Wheels, tires, bars, stems, saddles, seatposts, etc.
So, my questions are:
1) Is there any way to remove logos safely from metal parts? I've tried various solvents including xylene and Goof-Off to no avail. How about leather? Any ideas?
2) Are there some manufacturers who go logo free on their products, or at least keep the obnoxiousness to a minimum?
(I don't understand why anybody would actually want corporate logos splattered all over their bike and clothing. WTF? If you're going to be a rolling advertisement you should at least get paid for it.)
Thanks
