Sticker residue left on surface?
I’m not sure if anyone knows this trick but my grandmother showed me this trick that she used to get sticker residue off glass.
Get packing tape and centre the sticker residue and tape it over. Use your finger or knuckle to press on the tape over the residue to make sure it is properly stuck together.
When peeling, peel from one side to another and in one motion. The residue should come right off with the packing tape!
I had peeled the stickers off my laptop but like always the Intel Inside sticker left ALL of its residue and I took it off without any damages to my laptop. Other than needing a wipe down from my oils my laptop looks clean
FYI: This really only works well with a sticker that just got peeled, if the residue isn’t sticky or is dirty/oily it may not work as well
I have attached a video to show how it works (the audio is on to hear how easy it was to peel off)
I hope this helps☺️
Happy holidays!

Goo Gone

99% iso
before removing any stickers, always heat them up with a hair dryer / heat gun (turn off the laptop before doing it) as it will loosen the adhesive and amplify the effectiveness of methods such as the packing tape one you just mentioned.
Lick It Off
Oh… you touch my tralala
WD-40 and a paper towel
i feel so dumb for not thinking this would work, idk if it would work on any surface. still nice to know
Modern problems require modern solutions
That was clean tho

Forget 99% ISO and Goo Gone. Pick up some Bestine. No residue left over, no potential discoloration to the item, and dries up extremely fast. It’s God’s gift.
Cue the “what? no way!” guy from YouTube.
What tape is that? It’s definitely not some random packing tape because that glue only bonds to paper and even then not all types of paper surfaces.
That’s a pretty slick trick
Black magic!
this doesn’t always work this good. Just yersterday I spent 30 minutes with this method.. sticking-pulling, sticking-pulling etc.. It went away but just small portions at a time (the whole sticky surface was about 10cm x 3cm).
I thought it was going to shatter
isopropyl alcohol
Window cleaner
I usually use alcohol
Universal stuff, also fixes my problems
…Excuse me, I have some stuff to fix.
This is porn
Piss works great.
This is the way. Any kind of chemical should be discouraged. Even alcohol can damage or discolor a surface.
Or one drop of oil on paper then wipe with some cleaner.
no way that works with you baked in sticker residue from a year ago, but a good idea for fresh residue (in case you don’t have alcohol)
Failed in process… laptop now in fire.
Whaaaat? No way.
Isopropyl alchohol
I use this product called goo gone, it works like a charm
I was waiting for the tape glue to be stuck aswell 😅
Isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
Goo gone and patience. Little by little with a swab. And then some ISO to clean it afterwards. Again carefully. ISO can strip the sheen and the dye.
Fighting adhesive with adhesive! Now _that’s_ thinking with portals!
Safely? There’s a way to remove it dangerously?
