sticky tape removal

Hi,
Does anybody have any ideas of how to remove sticky tape from the boot area.I just have removed my standard rear reg plate for a non square one, but I've loads of sticky tabs to remove and it's taking ages is there anything from Halfords that i can spray on etc.Any hints will be gratefully taken.Javed

Lighter fluid or white spirits. Needs a polish to protect the paint afterwards though.

Have a look for "label remover" at electrical parts shops (got mine from that national chain of them, the name of which escapes me) which is very good.

What shape plate have you now fitted?
When I changed the rear plate on mine, I noticed that there were two blanked off holes in the rear door for screwing plates on, which would be exposed if you fitted a short single line plate (ie. for 5 digits or less).
