    Default Manual Repair

    Well, I searched and couldn't really find anything, so I'm asking DP for help.

    How the hell can you get stubborn rental stickers off of manuals?

    Because, I NEED to remove those on my Ikaruga and R-Type Final manuals.

    Goo-Gone, dude. Goo Gone solves all sticker problems.

    On paper? Yeesh...I'd think that stuff would leave a stain.

    You'd think so, but I used it on a bright-white Odyssey 400 box & it left no visible residue.

    Of course, YMMV. Always test an inconspicuous area first.

    No problems with glossy finishes? I might need to try that on a couple of my Genesis manuals...

    Well, the Ody 400 box is matte white, not gloss. I'd still test a single page of the manual just to be sure, but I haven't seen it leave a residue on anything yet.
