Removing sticky numberplate strips from hell !!!

[gobbleplease]

Well I've been out side for 40 minutes tonight trying to remove numberplate adhesive !
I've had the hair dryer on it, citrus degreeser, APC ( strong Ratios ) and Multiple applications of Tardis ! So far I've removed a 1/4 of the strips

Any suggestions ?

Petrol on a cloth is normally quite good at removing sticky adhesive?

I used panel wipe on a microfibe cloth and just rubbed it until all the pad had gone.

Dampen a piece of kitchen roll with tardis around the same size as the numberplate strip and place it over it, leave for about 15 min's and hey presto it will come straight off.

Done the Tardis thing mate, the foam on the plate stickers is absorbent so it holds the Tardis quite well, but I did brush it on every 5 minutes and I done a few applications still no luck though !

Credit card to scrape it tomorrow I think !

I got myself one of these on the recommendation of a friend and was a bit dubious but it worked a treat on my last car

Yea actually they are pretty good, the only problem is I was wanting to get it done this weekend, maybe screw fix will do them ?

I might resort to using some petrol I should have some in the bottom of my mk2 golf spare tank.

I've always stuck my plates on previously and I've removed them loads of them but these are absolute f****rs
Tardis usually dissolved them but these are going no where !

Petrol will do it.

Wire brush??

Try Auto Finesse Oblitarate..

Halfords sell a branded glue/gum remover, Stick stuff Remover. I used this last year on exactly the same job on my mk4 estate and worked really well.

Surprised Tardis has not been able to remove it. Its been able to clean most sticky stuff for us. Might be worth trying to clear off all the sponge just leaving the sticky and using the tardis on that.

Clay bar might also work although never tried it on sticky stuff
