Just in case you were going to ask...
My Restoration Process It's nuthin fancy but it has worked for me! First scrape away any unwanted decals. I usually just use my finger nails. I'll disassemble the vehicle as much as possible. It helps to use baby oil when disassembling it so you dont cause stress marks or break anything. I use a small portion cut out of an old t shirt squirted in baby oil (use a small container to hold the rag) and lather it all over and let it sit. Old dry caked on residue is the worst and takes longest to loosen up. You may have to soak some items for 24 hours. After it has soaked, you need to remove the sticker residue and baby oil using rubbing alcohol. Another slightly larger piece of t shirt soaked will work (keep this in a different container). This is where you scrub off any sticker residue. You may need to use more than one small rag here with alcohol to get all the oil off if one rag becomes too saturated with oil. Repeat with clean rags until the item is free of oil. ***For seriously caked on sticker residue use Goo Gone. It is safe and won't damage the plastic.*** I also relube the moving parts (missile launcher tabs, plane innards, landing gear, body tabs, etc) again with baby oil and a q-tip upon reassembly. I Hope that helps!
