If a finish is not having any mechanical, chemical of structural failure, as in cracking, peeling, powering off, etc. A good idea is to just leave it alone. Is there any exposed wood are any places where the existing finish has been compromised to be really thin? Almost bare? If the finish is full thickness and otherwise healthy then cleaning and a light polish it gives it much more sight appeal. If not, you can take a high quality automotive polish put a half teaspoon full on a soft cotton cloth and clean the top with that by gently working in small circles. Turn the cloth often when it builds up with dust and grit. Wipe off the residue carefully minding things like the corners of the bridge and edges of tap plate where the polish gathers. The ghosting from the sticker........I only hope it was not a sticker of Barney the Dinosaur, because you are stuck with his silhouette for another two to four years. Hopefully it is something manly like a beer advertisement. I've seen guitars of parents that have the kids stickers on them, fun funny stuff usually. They ask: "How can I take this off? My kid put this on my guitar!" Reply: "What you don't like Minny Mouse and Spice Girls? Try 3M Adhesive remover, sparingly."
