Removing Old License Plate Stickers Without Causing Any Damage

Removing license plate stickers can be an annoying task especially if the stickers have been on your license plate for a long time. Within this article, we show you our favorite and easy ways to remove these stickers without too much hassle.

When trying to remove stickers from license plates we have found the best method is to use the heat from a hairdryer to peel the sticker off. Not only is this the easiest method but also the fastest that causes no damage to your license plate.

Using a Hair Dryer

One way to remove stickers from license plates is to use a hairdryer. This method can be effective, but it can also be dangerous. The heat from the hairdryer can cause the sticker to peel off and stick to the license plate. If this happens, the sticker may have to be peeled off of the license plate with some force, which could damage the plate.

Adhesive Remover

Another way to remove stickers from license plates is by using Goo Gone or another type of adhesive remover. This method is less risky than using a hairdryer, but it can still be tricky. Adhesive removers can be purchased at most stores and usually cost around $5.

To use an adhesive remover, pour a small amount onto a cloth and spread it evenly over the sticker. Let the remover sit on the sticker for a few minutes to break down the adhesive. Once the adhesive has been softened, use the cloth to rub the sticker until it comes off. Be careful not to scratch or damage your license plate while doing this.

If there are any remaining adhesive residues after removing the sticker, you can clean them off with some soap and water. Wipe down your license plate with a soft cloth to finish.

WD-40

Using WD-40 is another way to remove stickers from license plates. WD-40 is a lubricant and cleaning agent that can be used to dissolve adhesive. It can be purchased at most stores for around $5.

To use WD-40, spray it onto the sticker and let it sit for a few minutes. The adhesive will start to dissolve and the sticker will come off easily. Be sure to clean off any remaining WD-40 with a cloth. Wipe down your license plate with a soft cloth to finish.

Soap and Water

If you don’t have any adhesive remover or WD-40, you can also try using soap and water. Soap will help break down the adhesive on the sticker and make it easier to remove.
