MacBook Trade-In: Dbrand Skin Removal and Packing

What I Found

Before sending a MacBook to Apple Trade-In, I removed the Dbrand skin, cleaned the laptop carefully, and packed it.

If you are sending a MacBook back to Apple for trade-in and it has a Dbrand skin on it, the big question is simple: should you leave the skin on, or remove it before shipping?

I removed the Dbrand skin before packing the MacBook for Apple Trade-In. The skin came off cleanly overall, with only a few tiny bits of residue on the bottom, and 99% rubbing alcohol was enough to clean everything up.
