Default helmet sticker removal help please,

I just purchased a new suomy helmet, and when I took the 2"x1" price sticker off the helmet the glue is still on it. What can I use to get the glue off with out damaging my finish.
Thanks, Kevin

I think you could use isopropyl alcohol - but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe send an email to the manufacturer and see what they recommend.

Take a hair dryer to it, and use a wash cloth or something soft and abrasive, if that makes any sense, to wipe the residue off. That will take off most stickers, and of course Goo Be Gone works miracles.

Lighter fluid and wd-40 works but I don't know if it would hurt the helmet.

Go to home depot and get some stuff called "GOO Gone", That will solve your problem... Try cooking oil first though.
