Regards to the number plate

[JumpinJack]

The white rectangles you buy to place onto the number plate and the body.

I want to remove this idea from my car and replace it with velcro. Does anyone have any good ideas of how to remove the sticky labels from the body without affecting the paintwork at all? Any chemicals I could buy?

I would give some brand a tar remover a shot

WD40 is paint friendly and is good at getting residue off, I used it to get the remains of a stick on sport badge off

If you havent attempted to remove it already, using a hairdryer is helpful.

Polish or quick detailer will work fine.

Wicked! Thanks for the advice

Soak in tar remover, they'll pretty much just wipe off after its soaked in for a bit. Removed a load of number plate tape in a few mins with tardis last week.

As above.

You can then remove, wash and then as Craig/Cat171 has said, polish up the area.

Suggest using panel wipe or IPA wipe down before applying the Velcro strips so you ensure a decent surface for them to stick to.

As said a hairdryer will soften up any sticky pads/labels so you can peel the majority off by hand.

I've found Autoglym Tar Remover good at basically dissolving any glue on paintwork to leave it totally clean.

Wicked!! I'm going to purchase my metal number plates on payday along with the velcro etc. I have some of that Autoglym tar remover already so result. By the way where would you suggest buying the velcro stickies from?

Do a google search for toffee wheel.
