Awsome, I was wondering this myself. I wasn't sure if Googone would harm the plastic or not.

I got mine at Zellers. Yellow color, and lemony fresh smell.

Re: Cleaning G1 Transformers and sticker removal

I've never used any chemicals, but just scrape it off carefully with my finger nails, then press/push away the rest of the glue and residue with my finger till its all clean. Its a bit of work, but you won't damage anything in the process. I've done this with two G1 dinobots and lots of other characters as well, never had any damage done to them

Re: Cleaning G1 Transformers and sticker removal

Rubbing alcohol can also remove paint too, so go lightly on it.

Re: Cleaning G1 Transformers and sticker removal

Speaking of stickers...do most of you prefer Reprolabels or KO for your vintage G1? TFW has mixed opinions on this.
