[GreenKeys] Sticker removal from 33 cover

[drlegendre .]

I swear by the light aromatic napthas - sold as Energine, Ronsonol, Coleman
fuel, Zippo lighter fluid, etc. - for this use. They won't always work on
certain types of dried adhesive, but it's the most universal solvent I know
for the purpose. Tri-chlor can also be helpful in certain situations, but
naptha is still my go-to.

And as ever, always "Test in an inconspicuous location" (!!) before you
apply it to a cosmetic surface.
