I'll have to get me some GooGone for the next one.

The acetone in polish remover is really not best suited for the rubber based adhesives used on manufacturer's labels and such. Goo Gone is also safer since acetone could potentially strip or damage the paint on the camera. Although, given the topic, it might just lend it a 'broken in' patina. :) e. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
