Have you ever tried to update 50,000 cup holder sponsorship stickers? These old stickers have been baked on by the sun and then power washed to shreds. There may even be two or three layers of old stickers to fight with. Remember you are attempting to do this while on your hands and knees! Well, we have experienced that first hand and I knew it was time for something different.
