Without electricity so no heat gun or hairdryer. What's the best product?

eucalyptus oil is good for removing most adhesive residues...

REGO stickers. What a waste of time (in my case). I find that after 6 months of sunlight the sticker is basically a white sticker with nothing left to read. Is this a Qld issue or do the stickers supplied in other state unable to endure 12 months of exposure.

It is cheap so try cloudy ammonia first. Petrol will probably work too.

Thanks. Saw cloudy ammonia in Woolies and wondered if that might do it. Also thought about Eucalyptus or Tea Tree

You can order replacement stickers free of charge from the TMR website.

Ahh, in NSW we don't have rego stickers anymore, car or boat.

I'd say Nickic is getting rid of them for good!

Thought for a minute I'd done a job i didn't need to. Had to replace the 1st and last letters as they had broken up and part worn away. Luckily I got it done whilst still on the slip with a heat gun and putty knife
