Title says it, I went overseas for a month and the car was left in the back yard with a tarp covering the entire car. My sister left the magnetic p plate on the back and every day the heat produced must of welded the damn thing to the boot.

I've managed to get a minor part of it off on a fairly warm day.

Any suggestions? Warm water? Hair dryer? Any chemicals I could use to remove it without damaging the paint?

Will upload pics tomorrow :(

Thanks in advanced :)

I would think as you have suggested - but no experience with this kind of thing, worst case scenario is repainting the boot lid so I suggest see what else gets suggested and give it a go. Good luck.

Dental floss, because it's waxed and flatter than fishing wire.

BTW does the company that makes those "Magnetic P" plates have a disclaimer (or at least a warning) against damaging a car?

Sigh, I presume you'd have to start the legal process in China > get nowhere fast.

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
