Get as much as you can off by carefully scraping, then use some nail varnish remover, which breaks the glue down a treat.

I think Rusty devised a method, but it involved a chisel and a w**k sock. I don't really want to go there!

Robbo,

I had this dilemma about 3 years ago when I too did not want to get irremovable adhesives on my spanking new car. My other half came up with a great idea and we have used it ever since.

1. Take a transparent polythene bag that is just about the size of one of the windscreen sun visors.

2. Cut off the closed end so it becomes a polythene sleeve.

3. Slide the polythene sleeve over the sun visor.

4. Slide the parking/camping pass in between the sun visor and the polythene sleeve so the details face the windscreen when the visor is in the down position.

Job done. Easy to remove and, if you collect them as mementos of the event, they are not destroyed in the removal process. You can re-use the sleeve again and again and there's no need to slave away with nail varnish remover etc...

Lat year on Houx Annexe someone was doinga  similar thing, except their reason was that they kept passing the camping permit back over the fence for one of their friends to get their car in!

I managed it with brake cleaner!
Nowadays try smearing vaseline thinly over the area the sticker is to be applied it will come off much easier and no glue left.
But for goodness sake don't let anyone see you walking round the campsite with a tub of vaseline and you claiming it's to stop a sticky mess.

The guys on the gates are much tighter now than they used to be - we saw a lot of "recycling" of passes on Annexe in the 90's!

Assuming you have stuck it on (and have no vaseline/KY jelly with you!) - I used lighter fluid last year...

I've always thought it looks good left on for a few days/weeks though, so when you are driving round London people in the know can give you a wry smile!!!

I still have my 2003 BTCC pass on the Sud  ;D

Yes but is it because you dare not take it off as it's holding it together. :)

Just peel off about 5 mm of the backing and put it in your screen with just 4 little patches of sticky

I have put clear double sided tape on my ticket and stuck it to the sun visor they have always let me in. I also complained to the ticket marshall saying I had nothing to remove the sticker with and that I would impare my drivind back to to Scotland, (slightly twisting the truth) but it worked!!

Rick.

I'm surprised he understood  ???

I speak french do you honestly think any of them speak english!! (That would make far too much sense).

Rick also speaks gobbledegook. Especially after several pints of Stella!!  ;D

Must be something about the name then, coz so do I! In fact I'm told (on good authority) that I talk b*llocks all of the time!

 ;D

I'm told that I speak gibberish after a few pints  ;)

What a coincedence, I stupidly left my pass for a few months and as mentioned am left with the two strips of glue.

I am tempted to use cellulose thinners on it to remove.

Nail varnish remover does the trick. Probably the same stuff...?

I don't generally take nail varnish to LM with me, will calvados do ?

Poseur.

Mind you, I generally don't take the stickers off till I'm back...

Touche!   ;)

Isn't cheap Calvados the same as nail varnish remover??  ???

The active ingredient of Nailpolish remover is Acetone.
For those who would rather shop at the hardware store than the make up counter.

No need.

Just raid the Missus make up stash and get it for free.

Well I say free...

Just thought I'd dig this thread out as a reminder of the perils.

I've just got around to removing the two thin strips of glue from the parking sticker (just in time for it to happen again) after going through a load of differing products only cellulose thinners was able to shift the offenders.

In previous years, I have left mine on the dashboard, but last year the campsite guards were insistent that the pass was stuck to the windscreen.   EVOStik Impact Adhesive solvent works a treat for me, or MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) if you can get hold of it - only use on glass.

...or, if you live in a female household, nail varnish remover

I tired, obviously mine was not powerful enough.
