Honestly this is quit important topic that not many care about.
Thanks for time making this.

EVEN FASTER: blow dry for a good 15-20 seconds on the BACK side of the plate, behind the sticker. You only need the adhesive from the first sticker that's touching the plate to come off and then they all will. Came off in one scrape with a putty knife.

SEVERAL years sticker build up, dreading task of removal. Always freezing cold winter at my sticker renewal time. Car’s way down in underground parking, no electrical outlet access. The Lord reminded me of my little portable hand-held steam cleaner I had forgotten about. Filled it with purified water, heated it up at home, unplugged, took it down to the car. Blasted that sucker with a bit of super hot steam, minimal scraping with utility knife, easily pulled old stickers off by hand, wiped it clean & dry, applied new sticker. NO Goo Gone/toxic messy chemicals, NO plate removal, NO hair dryer, NO agony. ALL glory goes to God, giver of all wisdom yay!!

Thank you so much! Heated the back side with hair blower for 30 seconds. Turned plate over and picked up the corner and it came off so easy!

THANK YOU!!! I've been tasked with updating the tag on my bf's car (I drive it daily) and I used to try and use a quarter taking off teeny tiny pieces at a time. This will be a life saver...and won't scrape any paint off the actual plate.

Genius video. I just baked my license plate on the stove to take the adhesive off and it worked.

Your method will certainly work, I was prepared to use heat myself. I tried straight isopropyl alcohol and it worked extremely well. I only had one sticker to remove. (I put mine in the wrong location so I fixed it when I renewed) Anyway, I would try alcohol before getting out scrapers and heat guns. Just saturate the area and let it sit a few seconds before slowly peeling. If that doesn't work then get the heaters.

I restored my 1960 CA plates and removed the old sticker with ease.

Thanks

Nothing to do with the removal instructions, but how did you go from skinny fingers to sausage fingers back to skinny fingers lol. It's messing with my mind. 1:07 your fingers and arms look plump compared to the rest of the video.

Thanks so much for this, I've been really sick of having 10 stickers slapped on top of each other.

THANK YOU. I wanted to fully remove and clean the plates this time, so all the tips I was finding were about getting them off while on the car. It's too hot out for that mess lol

With this easy trick I haven’t paid registration in years

Unscrewed my plate and brought it inside...was all prepared to attack it with hair dryer, putty knife, and Goo Just a hair dryer on it for a few seconds did the job and the labels came right up. Used the putty knife to help it, but it didn't require much effort. Wasn't even any sticky residue. Wiped it off with a Clorox wipe and called it good. Sometimes it's that easy. lol And we're talking eight years of stickers.

They can make self driving cars now...but we still have this sticker system from the 1950's.

Great idea!! Wish I would have known this before I Scratched mine .

Easiest way is to just take a eagle butane lighter and hit it going over it a few times then take a flat head screwdriver and it'll come right off. No need for a heat gun at all. But if you have one and no butane lighter, then this will work just the same.

I have a pickup truck I bought new in 1972, the stack of stickers on the plate looks like the leaning tower of Pisa.

[darlenedejohnette]

TY!!! Always wondered how to get those old crinkled stickers of. Done!!!

[MrJersey]

Awesome video! The heat gun helped me!
