    How to remove sticky registration pads etc

    So am sure at some point most of you have had the pain of removing the sticky pads left from removing registration plates to put on private reg or even to renew existing.

    The pads or remainder of the pads left behind can be a royal pain, and if you have ever removed your rear plate on these you will find a foam pad quite large that is supposed to protect the paint, I had to remove mines as I have a very short private plate.

    You can try and try but these will not budge, once you remove the bulk of the foam you are left with an impossible task.

    Here is how to remove this or any sticky pad, residue or sticker glue one you have removed the worst of it.

    WD40, yeah there are products out there that proclaim to be able to remove these residues but none come even close to the trusty WD40.

    Spray the offending residue, leave to sit for 5-10 mins, now take your finger across and it will come off like a knife through butter, simple no hassle no thumbnail scraping or other products, simply slides off. Job done.

    Am sure some of you already know this little trick but for those who don't now you know .

    It's worth adding don't be stingy by using cheaper alternatives either. They don't come close to WD40 when it comes to breaking down the sticky gum.

    Edit: Just noticed you already said that. I couldn't see all the comment on my phone but just seen it on my pc.

        How very rude...And ageist! The blame should be put on gmail on my phone. It doesn't always show the full message. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

              I'm not going to accept your apology straight away...Gonna make you sweat so you can think of your actions and maybe in future you'll think twice about picking on another simpleton.
