Just trolling for the true-believers, but it [WD-40] does make a nicely

OK, I'll bite: WD-40 is mostly a petro distillate in the paint thinner
class. So paint thinner is just as good as WD-40 without contaminating
additives. Naptha is a little more volatile, less viscous, about as
plastic-safe, and more effective as a solvent. Naptha is my go-to solvent
for getting adhesive labels off plastic.

WD-40's only good feature is the convenient spray can.
