  It makes sense that this would not be a good idea since acetone eats plastic.

  I'd imagine the results would be similar to putting plastic model glue on a slab and smearing it around. To get stiker residue off try warm water and soap.

  I am not going to all of the trouble to pull out my copystand, camera, lights, etc. just to photo a plastic slab with scratches.......

  I use De-solv-it. One squirt to a q-tip end and then use the dry end end finish up the job.

  Use GOO-GONE to take stickers or price tas or anything off plastic or any surface.
  Will not hurt the surface your cleanig at all. Even can let it sit for while for real tuff ones.
  Wipe off with clean rag. You can get it any store.

  Use rubbing alcohol. Works every time.

  Use Peanut butter. The oils will break down the residue and will clean up with soap and water.

  Yeah, I tried acetone to get something off my Swiss Army Knife. With some sandpaper, I was able to make the outer red covering reasonable again.

  wd 40 on a tissue dissolves gum and adhesives. I have no clue what it will do to the slab.

  Use a hammer or a set of bolt cutters. It'll get all that awful plastic off at the same time as the sticker!
