[Healeys] license plate stickers

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day

I have found that eucalyptus oil is perfect for removing glue and the like
and it does not affect the underlying surface.

   I have not tried to remove license plate stickers specifically but I have
found that "Besteen Rubber Cement Thinner"  is solvent for most adhesives
and
will not attack paint or plastic.  You can get it at your art supply store.
I
suggest soaking over time with careful probing of the glue joint with a thin
blade (like a pallet knife, also from the art store)  The stickers get
crispy
when old so be careful.  Lacquer thinner would be my next choice but it
might
affect the paint.  Try it on the back of the plate first.
   You got me thinking now.  I am going to dig out an old plate if I can
find
one and see what works.  There are several other options like "Goof Off" but
they can attack some paint.

Anybody have any idea how to remove the yearly stickers on the plates? I've
been told hot water but nothing happens.
