In this case, the quality and color of the material are of great importance. The lower the quality and the brighter the color, the more likely it is to damage the surface. In this case, you should limit yourself to gentle agents (oil, vinegar, alcohol). Plastic absorbs glue quickly and deeply. Try to remove the sticker from such a surface immediately after purchase. In this case, you can use a hairdryer.
Apply oil to the remaining glue. If the trail is only stretching, but not removed, proceed with vinegar, ammonia, and window cleaner. Acetone, a car degreaser, will be the last on the list of removal methods. Avoid rubbing with abrasive cloths.
With a little effort and patience, the remnants of the sticker will disappear without a trace.
