Excuse me everyone can I just clear this issue up once and for all :giggle
These stickers are far better than the bl**dy metal wires AUTOart use now which are fiddly and which can potentially damage the paintwork when removing them. The stickers, if removed soon after aquiring the model, cause no permanent damage.
Also, there is no need whatsoever to use anything stronger than a decent carwax on the residue. All it takes is a bit of patience and after a few applications (and without rubbing hard) all signs of the glue will be removed.
I there are any members who cannot remove this residue satisfactorily and without anything more than minimal effort, then they should have their entire diecast collection confiscated in my humble opinion :giggle
