    Hot air blower or pouring hot water (not boiling). It softens the adhesive and makes it easier to remove.

    Just be careful you don't melt anything made of plastic, fabric, or rubber using hot air.

    Hot water has always worked for me whenever I remove adhesive stuff from a vehicle. Pasensya at Tyaga -tyaga Lang Ang kelangan.

    I agree that hot air has more potential for damage if you're not careful. But it is still the fastest way. The trick is to avoid keeping the heat pointed at the same spot, rather, you sweep continuously over the item you want to remove and make sure that the heat is evenly distributed.

    I tried the hot water method - lumalambot ng paunti-unti un edges ng sticker pero kapag tutuklapin na nadudurog sya ... tama si bro baludoy, kailangan ng madaming pasensya at uubos ng madaming oras

    If it's breaking apart under hot water then the sticker was already in pieces even before the removal attempt. It was just being kept in place by being stuck to the car.

    I get rid of conduction stickers not too long after I get plates. At most 1 year siguro.

    I'm probably the only person in this forum who gets rid of them ASAP as soon as I attach a new plate. :p
