Estate sale Mongoose lives again

My little 1986 Mongoose M-1 I found this summer buried in a musty house is coming along. This is my first BMX bike but I'm well versed in every other type of bike riding. I love it! To think I almost sold it. The brakes needed a much needed update, new tires, chain, etc. Rear wheel could use a rebuild. Otherwise good to go!

How to remove 23 year old stickers

I want to clean up and restore my 1999 (I think) Redline Double X. I got it when I was 8 for Christmas. It needs a full restoration but I want to start by just cleaning the chrome as much as I can. First I need to get these nor cal ramps (RIP) stickers off. Also, what do you guys think of this thing? It is an absolute tank, by far the heaviest BMX bike I have ever ridden, as was the style at the time.
