New Numbers

We need to replace our WBCCI numbers. Any advice before I start peeling and scraping? Don't know how long the old #s have been on, but I'm sure once I get them off there ghosts will remain!.

Don't use Goo Gone! It strips the clear coat.

I used a damp cloth and a steam iron to soften mine, they rolled right off. You will still have the ghost numbers, unless you get into some heavy abrasives and polishing.

I have at least 3 sets of ghost numbers on mine...I asked for 88888...but they wouldn't let me have it so I settled for what they sent me, which turned out to be a nice low 2449 Makes it look like I have been around forever

Got one number off fairly easy, sure can see the outline. Think I'll stay away from razor blades or chem's unless the rest prove more diff. if so then a hair drier and hot water sounds good. Thanks for the imput guys....
