Goo Gone ?
Dragon Heart
Do any of the main retailers like B & Q, Focus, Homebase sell it ?
Or a Carpet shop ?
Thanks

Goo Gone is a citrus based solvent. Any similar product should work as
well. Look fro d-limonene in the ingredients (if they're listed.)

Copied from askville by Amazon:
"My favorite product is Goo-Gone. It works on most anything --- and has
a pleasant citrus smell. If you want to make a product at home, try a
solution of warm water, liquid dish washing detergent, and vinegar or
ammonia. I�d put it on a cloth --- NOT on the book --- and rub it.
Otherwise, you�ll saturate the book jacket. I�ve heard others recommend
WD-40 and Windex (not together!), though I haven�t tried either.
Whatever method you use, first test the cleaning removal material in an
inconspicuous part of the surface the label is stuck on the be sure it
will not damage that surface.
Here�s a handy video as a reminder for how to remove stickers from most
any surface: http://www.ehow.com/how_13445_remove-stickers.html
Good luck!"

a DAPOL track cleaner my son has got. Used nail polish remover with
an old Triang Track Cleaner but not sure if it will attack the plastic
on the DAPOL model ?
The other alternative suggested is Isopropyl Alcohol ( Rubbing
Alcohol ) !

Acetone does dissolve many plastics.

That's good, if you can find it in the UK. In Canada, we can buy 99% IPA
off the open shelf in a pharmacy for about $3 a 500ml bottle.

In the UK I've found that you are more likely to be able to order
propan-2-ol (ie isopropyl acohol) from small independent pharmacies rather
than from the big chains. The other more readily available source is from
town centre "pound shops" (they usually take over empty shops on a cheap
short term lease thus preventing vandalism whilst the landlord looks for a
more lucrative long term tenant) where it is usually the fluid in 99p
packs of DVD or CD cleaner.

It's also easily available from Electronics distributors such as
Maplin, Rapid, Farnell, etc. Search for IPA, isopropyl or isopropanol.
Some only stock it in aerosol form.
