Putting Decals on Tinted Windows, & Removing from Laptops/Metal Buckets

car window stickers
May 31st, 2023
Decals

When to apply decals to tinted windows, and how to remove stickers from laptops and metal buckets.

Question:  Is it OK to put a sticker or decal on my rear car window before having the windows tinted.

It depends on which side you put the sticker on. Because window tinting is done on the inside of the glass, it would be a poor choice to put a sticker on the inside of the glass before the tinting is done. The person or company applying the window tinting will let you know how many days the tinting should be on the window before applying the sticker to the window.

Easy removal of reflective stickers from license plates, and  the effect of car decals on the rear window line defroster.

Question: How do I remove the reflective tab sticker from my license plate?

I assume you’re talking about the reflective date sticker? Generally speaking, at least for most people I know, we just keep piling this year’s sticker on top of last year’s reflective sticker. Of course, if you are a perfectionist, this might not be an option for you, in which case, we feel sympathy for your wife or husband.

1. Apply some heat.

Question:    I purchased “brand X” wash and wax and need to know if there’ll be any problems if I apply vinyl decals to my car after I wash it or later when I wash over the decals?

If the sticker or decal that is on the visor is an easy peel vinyl, it should remove easily, but if it’s a standard adhesive, it can be difficult to remove.

In this case, what you’d need to do is get a hair dryer and heat the decal up enough that it is quite warm – but not hot – to the touch.
