I may be the only person who finds those little paper part number stickers on 

Zenith parts particularly annoying. Sure, I want to know what the part number 

is, but these little beasts attract dirt and grease, and don't like to come 

off cleanly.



In case I'm not the only person, I have posted the method I'm using to remove 

the paper stickers:

This method removes them with relative ease, and even gets rid of the residue 

left by the adhesive.

I squirt them with spray on goof off, wait a couple minutes and they peel

right off with no effort. It absorbs right through the label and melts the glue.

WD-40 is used by some to remove bumper stickers with little health effects. On the other hand, MEK is absorbed through the skin, goes straight to the liver and kidneys were it has a half life of 1,000 years.

Hands down the best thing I've found to remove the labels is called "Goof Off".  It comes in a spray can or a squirt can.  I went through two of the squirt cans during my build.  Saturate the label, let it set for a minute and it peels right off.  A shop towel takes off the sticky residue and the left-over solution.

Lacquer thinner - wet the paper and it peels right off.  A quick wipe with a towel removes the residue.  Also does a nice job removing magic marker.
