I seem to remember reading in one of the multitude of rust removal threads a statement to the effect "...this also works great on removing the discoloration..on decals..." am I dreaming? I can't find it now, which doesn't surprise me because it was an offhand remark buried in a recommendation of a particular rust removal process.
I rescued a sweet original 1960 Schwinn Hollywood with great paint but the decal carrier around the "Schwinn" script is discolored &/or 'sun burned'. I am prepping it for resale outside the collector community so 'leave it as is for patina's sake is not a great option (but likely unavoidable), and it just isn't worth putting another $25 in for new decals.
Probably grasping at straws here, but if there is a technique I would love to hear about it.
Thanks everyone!
