Default Need help with stickers

Just noticed today while cleaning up dust in interior. The factory morons stuck two stick figure stickers on the very bottom corners of my pasenger seat showing seat recline. Give me a break. Nothing on my drivers side. Anyhow I got one of completely but the one closer to the door is really on there and now looks worse from me picking at it. What can I use to remove it and the adhesive without damaging the seat. I can't believe they put them on the seat like that.

Wd-40 Will Be Fine Or Denatured Alcohol, Or Goof Off, Or Krud Kutter.....the Later 3 You Can Pick-up At Your Local Sherwin Williams Paint Store. You Will Also Find That They Have 1oo's Of Other Uses Great To Have Around The House/garage

Thanks PDQ, WD wouldn't cut it. I tried a little rubbing alcohol lightly. I have have of it off, but I'll pick up some goop off to clean it up nice.

be careful with too much RUBBING alcohol,it will dry your pleather out, denatured has "lube" properties, much much safer......try the krud kutter, as i said it will clean anything, i have yet to find something it wont clean. very highly concentrated,,,,,cut it with water. youll end up using it for windows,wheels, floors, laundry, ink,make-up, stain,paint. you get the point........its the best kept secret as far as cleaners go....trust me on this one

Goof Off will take it off, but might damage the vinyl or leather depending on where it's at. I would first try Simple Green, as it's non toxic and has a adhesive remover in it. Once you get it all off then recondition your seat to moisturize the area you will dry out with the cleanup.

My wife took care of it for me. I do love that woman! She kept putting an ice cube on it and picking it of with her fingernail. All off and looking good. I think I'll take care of her tonight.
