Was it glossy to begin with? Mine has a matte finish...

Polyurethane/ACrylic based paint is plastic and I reccomend using Novus on it.

For actual plated metal like some of the Ultra PSUS ou would do well to use Simichrome or Fliitz...but rub lightly so as to not change the color...

A matte finish will take a dull lustre...my Silverstone is like that...

Hmm...maybe I should just take the sticker goo off, and leave it at that. I already moved the sticker to the other side...but I may as well take it off, now...lol.

PSU stickers are pretty easy to remove--but they leave behind a definite mark where they were--even if you have decent results using isoporpyl or denatured alcohol there are some adhesives that are like Cousin Becky's Booger to get off there...






Now the secret is the Liquid Gold (Olde English or any lemon oil polish works) because the oils in that polish soften and loosen the pernicious adhesive without destroying the paint like lacquer thinner or acetone would.

The paint on most PSUs is hardly tough by any standard so rubbing vigorously to remove it with any solvent--even isopropyl--will make scratches and remove some of the shine.

Here is how you remove that final "shadow" of where the sticker was and any little scratches that were introduced while removing the adhesive: Novus Plastic Polish #2





But we are not done yet...why not take a moment to customize your PSU...in this case it is getting one of my new case badges Iandh made for me.







Although the Novus has completely removed the mark of the sticker and the scratches it does not impart a glow...for that you need car wax...



I find Mother's Cally Gold Measures up...



Now that's a shiny PSU!
