1. Yes, we're already trying to get answers from the MFGs but they're in Asia.
2. Multi-path approaches are usually the fastest way to get answers and V-Salon has a lot of smart people.
3. Time is not on my side.
I have a thing. It has a rubberized/soft touch finish. It also had a sticker applied to the outside. The sticker is supposed to be easily removable (will not leave adhesive, will not mar the finish).
Guess what! Not only is the sticker super hard to remove (rips) but the adhesive is sticking to the surface.
* Soap of various varieties won't work.
* 70% and 90% rubbing alcohol doesn't work.
* Denatured alcohol is not available in Los Angeles anymore.
* GooGone tends to leave an oily residue that kind've sucks and will require a soap/water cleanup.
* Acetone removes the adhesive but causes slight discoloration and, if it soaks in more than 45 seconds, the coating starts to bubble (on top of that the substrate is ABS which Acetone can melt)
* Lacquer thinner removes adhesive but causes more discoloration and attacks the rubberized surface.
* Water based wax/tar/bug remover doesn't work.
* SEM Solve does not work
* Hair dryer makes removal easier but there's still some adhesive left.
Starting over is not an option. Repainting/touch up is not an option.
I'm all ears. I'll try anything at this point.
