Tip: To remove old reflectant and prep the frame/rims for new reflectant, use that citris orange stuff. The LBS said it's safe even on carbon frames. If your frame is carbon, double check to make sure gunk is safe.

The old reflecant is a night mare to remove esp. that European stuff. The 3M is easier. Once it starts looking junky, (after a bout 2 yrs), I remove it and start over.
