Sticker Removal

What is the safest way to remove stickers from a 20+year old white transformer with out damaging the plastic?

Just remove 'em by hand? Can you use anything to clean the plastic to get the residue off?

I bought a sticker set to apply to a G1 figure to give it a clean look and I am concerned about getting the old worn stickers off first.

Thanks for all your help and advice.

Peel the stickers off by hand or scrape them off with your fingernail and then use some Goo Gone to get rid of the remaining residue. Works wonders! And won't damage the paint or the plastic.

Thanks! I appreciate the response Roadbuster!

I was concerned about discoloring the plastic. Glad that won't be an issue w/ goo gone.

No problem. You can find it just about anywhere. Wal-Mart, Target, Lowes, exc...

Isopropyl rubbing alcohol diluted works well. I have used it before

My degunker of choice for ancient stickers is actually lighter fluid. Just be sure to wash the spot with a little soap afterward.
