I haven't been following this thread very close, but I have used mayonnaise to remove stickers from glass. It may also work on plastic. Just dab it on, let it soak for a while then add lettuce and tomato...........wait, wrong recipe! Then gently scrap away with cloth, fingernail, or plastic scraper.

I used to have refirb computer equipment (along w/ Chris Van Cleve, also
on this list). Some things to try:
Rubbing Alchohol
Lighter fluid
Goop off (J.R. mentioned already)
Citris based cleaners
409 Cleaner (went thru GALLONS of that stuff)
With the exception of Alchohol - which evaporates quickly, the others
you need to use a lot of patience with... let them sit for a while and
work at it.
Another trick... if you have a lot of ballpoint pen marks on things -
hairspray will dissolve it instantly. Just make sure to spray it down
with something like 409 right away, or it will leave a dried laquer.
DON'T use acetone products like fingernail polish remover. It will
dissolve most plastics.
