I’d use Isopropyl alcohol to remove the sticky residue. Going to do it now.

Hi you can try to use a clean cloth that you are willing to dispose of and use isopropyl alcohol or zippo lighter fluid to wipe off sticker residues.

Alcohol, turpentine, gasoline, lighter fuel etc. all work. (as does the search function btw 😉)
Most drugstores sell sticker/decal removers too. Generally containing the same ingredients. I’d stay away from acetone.

The best solvent I’ve used so far is petroleum if you are allowed to purchase it in a bottle.

I had the same problem with my P-Line and didn’t having isopropyl alcohol available, so we got it off with olive oil. A bit of effort but it worked.
It’s so frustrating that you can pay €3k for a bike and they can’t even invest in stickers that don’t come off in one piece.

I used isopropynol on my matt black c-line and you can see where it has dulled the paint. As much as I love my Brompton, the paint finish absolutely sucks. Chips from the slightest bit of friction.

The old trick using the sticker itself to get most of it off, then hot soapy water if you’re scared to use something stronger. I’d go straight to brake cleaner or WD40

Vegetable oil should work also (but then you need to clean the oil)
