Hi mate,

I use a product called sticky remover:

It's a natural product so unlike white spirit it wont start removing the actual finish, just use it sparingly.

Hope this helps,
Lea

I've got an old DMC4 Steelbook that has glue leftovers and I tried almost everything, but there is still some residue, so i hope that sticky stuff remover will help.

Sticky stuff remover is god, smells tho...so (as said) use as little as possile. Might also be worth some alcohol based cleaner to gentle wipe away the residue also.
I usually use cotton buds in a slow gentle circular motion for both.

I find lighter fluid with soft tissues works very well but i suppose if there is an actual sticky glue remover than theres no need for my method

Usually I use the same sticker and dab the sticky area. Majority of the time the sticker pulls all the residual glue off.

Hey mate

Lighter fluid or Adhesive remover both do the job well. The adhesive remover does smell a bit, usually like an artificial orange smell heh, but the lighter fluid not so much and it evaporates on its own very fast so yeah I'd go with the lighter fluid!
