FAQs
How many pads should I use per plate?
We recommend using at least five sticky pads per number plate to ensure a secure and stable hold.
Can I use these in the winter?
The adhesive requires an ambient temperature of at least 10°C to bond effectively. If it is colder, you must warm the surface and the adhesive first.
Will these pads damage my car paint when removed?
When removed correctly using a heat source to soften the adhesive, they should not damage the paintwork.
Are these strips waterproof?
Yes, they are designed to be weatherproof and will hold up against rain and standard vehicle washing.
Can these be reused?
No, these pads are designed for a one-time application. Once removed, you should apply new strips.
Troubleshooting
The plate is not sticking to the vehicle
Ensure the surface was cleaned with degreaser and was completely dry. If the ambient temperature is too low, the bond will not set correctly.
The plate is rattling or loose
You may have used too few pads. Apply at least five pads per plate, ensuring they are pressed firmly against the bumper.
Sticky residue remains after removal
Use a dedicated adhesive remover or a mild citrus-based cleaner and a soft cloth to gently rub away the remaining foam.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Clean, seamless appearance without visible screw heads
- Protects vehicle bodywork from rust and drill damage
- Shockproof design prevents rattling
- Simple, tool-free application
Cons
- Requires very clean, dry surfaces for successful adhesion
- Not suitable for use in temperatures below 10°C
- Removal can be difficult once the adhesive has fully cured
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure compatibility, verify that the application surface is smooth and free of deep contours or heavy debris. Before installation, ensure the ambient temperature is 10°C or higher; applying adhesive in cold conditions will lead to premature failure. If the plate needs to be removed, it is best to use a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting to soften the adhesive foam, followed by a residue remover to clean the remaining material from the car's bodywork. Store unused strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive backing.
