Hot soapy water to get it off, or steam which will lift it straight off :broon:

or I dont like to say it

but a hair dryer will help get it off easily

The sticky residue can be removed with alcohol wipes or brake cleaner on a cloth

or nail varnish remover/baby oil for the sticky stuff, but not sure if that will send it cloudy :-?

Invalid or non-existent item ID.Invalid or non-existent item ID.I would use something like these which are designed for the screen

I'd like that a lot (seeing as your thread just cost me £10.50 for two new badges, the same as you bought).

Cheers for the link above Paul. I thought we might have had a 'how to' on this. But, alas..

Now, there's an opportunity for you 'MMAT'. :lol:

On my work experience at focus I was chief sticker remover and found that hot water and sponge did it best. Or wd40 for stubborn ones.

I'd save your money and go with the girls advice on this one! Hot soapy water with sponge, nail varnish remover (very abrasive), alcohol wipes, or yes even hair dryer!

Every owner with a plastic rear screen should have one of the screen polishes anyway, so no extra expense. Do be careful using nail polish remover on a plastic screen as you could damage it.
