What works on removing old stickers or tape from lenses.

So not trying to screw up a vintage dome, that some IDIOT note the capitalization stuck a tag on the dome and does not want to come off.

What works? tried some Isopropyl alcohol but didnt really get anywhere.

@Stampeed Valkyrie
There are products available that are for removing labels.

I, myself usually use kerosene that seems to loosen up the glue more easily than alcohol or gasoline, or whatever the names might be of these types of solvents.

Try goo gone if any residue. Ive done it on a highlighter dome that had duct tape on it.

Be careful with Goo Gone.

A Cautionary Tale: Goo Gone and Feniex Lenses

Things I learned today. Goo Gone will literally start to dissolve your Feniex lenses. Now I cant speak to all of Feniex's products just the cobra T6s I was using them on. I had some spray tint on the modules of my custom made interior bar and I wanted to remove it as the new tinted windshield I...

I sometimes wonder if the adhesive on some labels and stickers slightly softens the surface of some plastics, making removal really difficult and leaving behind an imprint of the label or decal.

Have you tried rain x?? I have recently found it helps to remove glue residue off paint, it might work on the lenses since it's denatured alcohol.

Eliminating the posibility of any chemical reaction, I polish it off with novus 2 and elbow grease.

Elbow grease.... Hmmm who makes that product...

 

[dmathieu]

Only those who want to.

Try duct tape. Stick on the residue, pull off. Repeat with new piece of duct tape every time, until all of the residue is gone. Worked on a lot of sticker/label residue

Tried the Duct tape trick, no dice, then went with the Novus 2 and again no dice. Dabbled some WD-40 on it and let it sit for about 10 min. Came right off, I don't see any adverse effects to the dome, but will probably give it a polish with Novus 2 just to wrap it up.

WD 40 will fix anything

Go Jo or similar non-grit hand cleaner.
