Well I have often had to do this and I thought I would share a couple of trade secrets with you guys 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!
