I'm going to Novus plastic polish route. But #3 still isn't tough enough to remove this pesky sticker residue although it did take the bulk of it away with a microfiber cloth.
Should I use nail polish remover/acetone?
I'm going to Novus route because yellowing doesn't bother me much and I'm hesitant to use harsh chemicals like lacquer thinner.
Any advice or links to helpful threads would be very appreciated Cool1
No acetone! It will dull the vintage wrap.
A better choice is naphtha or WD 40 but test it under a lug or bracket first just in case.
Googone is the only route to remove sticker residue. DO NOT use any solvents like acetone etc as Magnus is 100% correct and it will ruin the wrap. If you want to get rid of the yellowing or lessen it there are many posts about that. I did a huge experiment on many ways to do it. Take a look at that post . However, Googone and a plastic razor blade on a sharp angle will be the cure! Novus will get rid of scratches and help the drum to shine if you go the 3-2-1 approach.

IPA, or isopropyl alcohol as it is known seems to shift most sticky stuff without causing damage. If you do try it as suggested just make sure by testing in an inconspicuous place.
I use Goo Gone in these situations. It does take awhile though. I also use the edge of an old credit card to use as a soft scraper as it starts breaking the stuff down.
+1 again, Goo Gone..Then
watch that stuff rub off like snot Yes Sir Good Luck !
As most have stated, Goo Gone will usually do the trick. I've used it myself with excellent results!

I have had very good success with lighter fluid. I've always preferred it to Goo Gone. It does not damage the wrap at all.
