I received this nice example with very good print. How to remove this kind of glue? Thank you!

I guess I would try scraping most away using a knife and remove the residue with acetone or brake cleaner. Make sure you don't spray these cleaning agents on the CPU since you might overspray on the black printing. Use a wet napkin or something instead.

that pink stuff is hard to get off, I use a razer to get most, then some steel wool for the rest
rutlands glass cleaner can provide a nice final clean

It is not an exact science and there are no manuals to do it, each collector has developed his own method that is the result of years of experience and many failed attempts.
Mine is to heat the part and remove it with wooden chisels that do not leave marks on the ceramic, when most of it is removed you finish with a polishing paste for chrome plating.
ATTENTION! at this stage you must cover the gold parts and the writing with paper tape so they are not damaged.
in the photo you can see the result in the SPARCs that have a similar cement, the final result is not bad.

Thank you for all the advices. Right now I don´t have enough patience...

I usually use a credit card (or plastic card) or a timber ruler to remove the pink glue.

I avoid using a metal tool which may scratch the ceramic.
