sticker leaving a mark on my mbp 2017 :(

I tried all ways... using coconut oil / olive oil/ alcohol / tea tree oil and even tried using a sticky tape... nothing works... Will goo gone destroy the cover?


Any idea how I can remove this residue. Its not sticky

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Hello lilpercy,


Thanks for the post in Apple Support Communities. Keeping your Mac looking its best is always important, and I understand you want to know about removing sticker residue from a MacBook Pro exterior. I'm happy to share some information Apple has provided that may answer your question.


This is from the resource titled How to clean your Apple products. I recommend sticking to these guidelines when cleaning your Mac:


"MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air

When cleaning the outside of your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down your computer and unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer's exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Don't use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide that might damage the finish.

To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with water only, then use it to clean the computer's screen.

MacBook Pro models from 2016 and later with Touch Bar and Touch ID: Clean the Touch Bar and Touch ID (power button) on these computers the same way you would clean the display. Shut down your Mac and unplug the power adapter. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with water only, then use it to clean the Touch Bar and Touch ID.

MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) and MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010): The bottom case of these computers uses a soft nonslip material. Use a 3M Gray Microfiber or soft dye-free, lint-free cloth to clean the bottom case."


I hope this helps to answer your question. Best wishes.
