Default VA1435V no lomger exists... Removing old registration numbers

I am trying to removed the PO's registration #'s and I can get the plastic off but the adhesive is still there. What works best to get everything off?

Mineral spirits always works for me. It takes a little time to get the solvent to break down the adhesive. Try keeping a spot wet with a rag then add a little rubbing action.

Yep, it's slow and safe.
Lacquer thinner will do it quicker but will slightly degloss the finish and need buffing or polishing afterwards.
Also try a slightly dull single edged razor blade in combination with the mineral spirits.
