yes if you want to add you own, you have to remove the pre-applied stuff...

With what ever you use to wipe it off ideally you'll want to use something that is lint free and will not leave anything behind on the cooler. 

 

Use Isopropyl Alcohol and something like a coffee filter like mentioned above.
