Actually this deals more with cleaning than it does with restoration.
Does anyone know of a good product to remove old tape adhesive from a Pickelhaube?
I have an officer Pickelhaube with a beautiful, untouched, finish. At some point in it's history somebody taped something to the shell, probably a price tag. Some of the scotch tape adhesive was left behind and it has hardened. Mild soap will not remove it and I hate to experiment for fear of screwing up the lacquered finish.
Any suggestions?
The helmet in question is made of Vulkanfiber.
