The full story · What is cling?Our static cling stickers are made of high quality 8-mil vinyl that adheres without an adhesive backing to most smooth, clean surfaces such as glass, plastic or baked enamel finishes. Our stickers are movable and reusable without leaving residue. You can switch them around on your vehicle or move them to another vehicle. Just peel it off and reapply to a clean surface. These stickers will not affect nor be affected by defroster wires or window tint. We use only top-grade adhesive vinyl that is manufactured for vehicle lettering. They will not harm the paint and are removed easily. · How do they stay on without adhesive?Static cling stickers are the most versatile decals. Since they have no adhesive, they can easily be removed and reapplied at will, on another window or on a different vehicle. They are ideal if you plan to sell your car soon, or if you lease. Our static cling stickers adhere through the exchange of static electricity between the glass and the vinyl. It is important that you clean the application surface with a commercial window cleaner such as Windex before applying your sticker. Dirt will reduce the necessary exchange of static electricity preventing a secure bond. It is also important that your sticker is clean. If you have been handling it and have fingerprints on it, it might not stick well. If it gets dirty you can wash it with warm water and hand or dish soap, rinse well and dry it thoroughly, then reapply. Static cling stickers may be removed and repositioned as often as you like as long as you follow the above procedures. · How do I apply my cling sticker?Applying static cling is easy. The most important step is to clean the surface thoroughly before application. Use a commercial window cleaner and a clean dry cloth. Using the sleeve of your shirt or plain water is not adequate. If your window is extra dirty, clean it twice. Even if you have just returned from a car wash or just hand washed the car yourself, please be sure to clean the surface area with a commercial window cleaner just prior to application to insure best results. Once clean, peel off the white backing material and apply. Avoid any molding pieces or sharp corners and keep the sticker out of the path of the wiper swipe. Starting from the center top, smooth the vinyl down and outward. Push any bubbles out toward the closest edge with your fingers. Make sure the edges are down flat against the glass without puckering gaps. There may be small bubbles that you won't be able to remove. They should disappear once the sun warms your window, in a few hours. Use your fingertips or a soft cloth (not your fingernails) to gently smooth the vinyl. Take care not to scratch or smudge the image while smoothing. If your sticker is in the wrong place or is crooked simply peel it off and try again. A plastic credit card works well to lift the initial edge when removing or repositioning. · Will it adhere to the body of a car?Your cling sticker will adhere to most of the metal parts of the vehicle body, but they are really meant for the windows. Note: Most cars made today have plastic bumpers. Static cling stickers may not adhere well to a plastic bumper. Also, heavy wax on the vehicle may diminish the "clingability" of the vinyl. They do work well on the tailgate of a pickup and they look especially good on a (ugh!) chrome bumper. · What about the car wash?There have been mixed reviews on our stickers successfully going through a commercial car wash. We have concluded that if a car wash uses a laser-like stream of water directly on your vehicle, it is best to remove it before washing and reapply the sticker after the vehicle is dry. On the other hand, MVP stickers have successfully gone through car washes that have a softer, more scattered spray many times with no problems. Use your judgment. Enjoy your stickers! And thanks for getting visible. |
