Hi, I got a used laptop from an family member. It did have this this annoying sticker on it (see picture). Apparently for years already.

So, how can I remove it without scratching the metal body or leaving residue behind?

Edit: Having some problems with picture upload, but here's a similar photo for reference: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jDV7-ehqF38/maxresdefault.jpg

A little bit of lighter fluid on a paper towel works great for getting sticker residue off easily!

A lot of lighter fluid and a lighter works great too!

Goodbye stickers!... and house...
