Default Rego Stickers

Hey Just wondering how you guys get your old rego stickers off the windscreen without leaving crap stuck on there. Its not usualy a problem as mine in the past have come off clean. The latest on I have sarted to peel off a corner but it is leaving glue and paper stuck.
Any little tricks you guys have to get them to peel off clean?

Bit of eucalyptus oil will get it straight off, or if its not that bad, automotive-type window cleaning spray will work just fine.

I use to a cluster of wet newspaper (leave it there for an hour or so), then peal it back.

But as Joe has said, just peal it off and use a bit of eucalyptus oil, thinners or wax n grease remover to get rid of any residue left on the window

This works very well.
I should try it on the '3' sticker I still currently have stuck to my windscreen

Paper towel from the kitchen folded in half twice and soak some water into it.
Grab a sheet of glad wrap, cut it about 40cm long, fold it in half and place the wet kitchen paper in the middle.
Place over the sticker and wait half an hour, normally peels off in one go and leaves a very small amount of residue behind.

its seems dangerous but there is really no risk, the window cleaner lets the blade glide across the glass and cleans the residue

So are you at drop the sticker level or picking it up? - huh? haha
