Removing an MLB auth sticker from batting helmet
Has anybody done it and if so, how? Have a helmet photomatched and the sticker says issued anyway and put in a stupid spot. Photomatch is worth more than an issued sticker.

Re: Removing an MLB auth sticker from batting helmet
Have you guys tried these methods? I have Goof Off and that works well for residue. I assume alcholhol would too.

Re: Removing an MLB auth sticker from batting helmet
Is it over tar or just the plastic of the helmet? I've taken a damaged holo off a bat and it just left the small bits which sort of rubbed off under my finger. It didn't need anything for cleanup like Goo Gone, etc. I'd be afraid of what that might do on glossy plastic like a helmet (and obviously you can't use it over tar) . . . I'd just pull it off and see what you're left with before you start putting cleaners on it.
Side note: I also removed a damaged one from a 2002 baseball. The residue stains the baseballs in the shape of the holo. Really annoying; looks terrible.

Re: Removing an MLB auth sticker from batting helmet
I have used goo gone on a football helmet and hockey helmet but never baseball. I had no problems and no issues.
I even used goo gone on a jersey that was glued indide a frame and it got the hardened glue off without staining the jersey.

Re: Removing an MLB auth sticker from batting helmet
I wouldn't as sticker to me is more than any photo match as photo matching is never 100%, but an MLB holo is worth its weight in gold.
