If it doesnt fit into this community, be so kind and point me in the right direction if possible.

So, in case this post fits here:

This situation has gone on for a few days. Recently a ticket machine here in germany got covered in fascist stickers, showing the flag of Nazi-Germany [Flag of Nazi Germany] and propagating Ideals of the "white-power-movement". I believe the picture speaks for itself. The stickers were removed a few days ago, but returned shortly after. (Picture shows second installment) Today I took some time out of my day to remove them, but it was quite a strenous process. Thats why I came here to ask for any ideas concerning the removal, or general thoughts on the situation. I know that it's an uphill battle, since putting new stickers down is a process of seconds, but it also feels terrible to do nothing. Any help is appreciated!

You guys got Goof Off over there?

Is goof off just acetone (nail polish remover)?

I like Goo Gone myself, especially for stickers and preserving what is underneath, rather than just melting everything. https://googone.com/ It is super effective and kinda smells like oranges

there is also 3M adhesive remover, though I dont have as much experience with it. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40070712/

I fear we don't have that here, but that would (like the option GorGor mentioned) only be one order away, might look into it, depends on how much shipping costs. Also for future reference, if this Site is to be trusted, Goof Off is more aggressive than Goo Gone, but contains acetone, so a bit of extra caution is to be taken. If this goes on for a while, I will sadly have time to do a comprehensive review of everything that was suggested so far

I swear by Goo Gone for this sort of thing. One product that absolutely works as advertised and can be used on any surface.
