Removing Vehicle Registration Sticker

Introduction

Removing vehicle registration stickers can be a very difficult task. Many years ago, when I tried to remove the registration sticker from the vehicle plate using screwdrivers, plastic scrapers, and other tools, I completely failed. Since then, I have always been placing the new sticker over the old one, which is not ideal.

Recently, I learned an extremely effective way of removing the registration sticker from a vehicle plate. In this blog post, I would like to share this method.

It turns out that the only thing we need to remove the registration sticker is a heat gun. One of the cheapest ones on Amazon only costed me $13. I turned on the heat gun to the highest power, blew the hot air on the sticker for about 10 seconds, and I was able to peel the sticker off the plate easily without any residue using my bare hand. It was so clean that the Goo Gone adhesive remover I purchased was not even used.

Some people might have also suggested using a hair dryer. I have not verified it because I do not have one. But at least from the YouTube video I watched, it seems to be less effective than my heat gun. In the video, the person had to continuously blow the hot air on the sticker while he was peeling the sticker off using scrapers. He would also have to apply Goo Gone to remove the adhesive residue. I did not have to do any of that with my heat gun.
