Cleaning Electronics with Sugar

legoburner writes "Instructables.com has an article on removing logos from your PDAs or Cell Phones using sugar. Basically, the sugar crystals are strong enough to remove the logo (sticker), but are too soft to scratch the casing leaving it unscathed. The article has many pictures of the process as well as a thorough walkthrough. Let the rebranding of all your electronics begin!"

Careful doing this

This technique works great on PDA's and phones where the natural casing texture is what's under the logo,
but if you've got a 'chromed' phone/PDA (particularly with a color), you may find yourself scratching off
the background color as well.

Sometimes the logos are actually printed in 'negative', where the background color 'is' the print and the
logo is negative space.

And those sticky label ion my laptop?

Now if someone could tell me how to remove those crappy "Designed for Windows XP" and "Centrino Mobile Technology" labels without leaving a residue or damaging or scratching the casing, I'd be ever so grateful.

I hate those things.
