How to remove really sticky stickers
So I bought a new daily driver from Connecticutt.
Still in the honda family, a 2006 TSX and I am very happy with it.
There seems the be a problem, the registration/inspection sticker is on the back trunk next to the license plate. It's SOOOOOOO difficult to peel off. Any better way then just peeling guys?

several products to try...
i like wd-40. you want to first peel back an edge a little, then spray some w-40 (lightly) into the glue. let it sit several minutes, then slowly peel. respray and let sit... do it again and again-
it might help to heat the sticker with a blow dryer before you start, but i wouldnt use it when it has the wd-40 on it... i do not use heat but do know that some guys do.
i have also used dental floss - for the removal. kinda like the badge removal process.
speaking of which- these instructions include info that might help (starting about page 5 or so):

the first step is to get the sticker off... and then you will have the glue on the car to deal with. same thing as above- wd-40 soaked on and then take some off. repeat and repeat. make sure that you are using a fresh part of a rag each time you do the removal. it can take lotsa rag to get stubborn sticky off!!
adhesive removers (several choices, like goo gone, etc.) and even bug/tar removers are good choices too. some folks use alcohol.
the main thing is dont use knives, or any metal. some folks use credit cards, but i find that even hard plastic can scratch some paints.

you can try the methods above, and look at local parts store for a product called sticker-shock. It's amde for the removal of bumper stickers. I used it before on pinstriping. Heat will help, but before the wd-40. might combust. Good luck, and nice car choice as a DD.
