FAQs
Are these pads waterproof?
Yes, they are designed to be weather-resistant and withstand standard road conditions, including rain and moisture.
Can I use these on a textured bumper?
Adhesion is best on smooth, flat surfaces. Textured surfaces may not provide enough contact area for the adhesive to reach full strength.
Will these damage my car paint?
When removed properly, the adhesive should not damage standard factory paint, though care should be taken during the removal process.
How many pads should I use for one number plate?
While it depends on the weight and size, using four pads (one near each corner) is generally recommended for a secure hold.
Can I reuse the adhesive pads?
No, these are designed for single-use application. Once the adhesive bond is broken, you should apply fresh pads.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive failing to bond
Ensure the surface was cleaned with a degreaser or alcohol and is completely dry before application.
Number plate vibrating after installation
Apply additional pressure during the initial installation or increase the number of pads used to ensure even weight distribution.
Stuck residue after removal
Use a specialized adhesive remover or a gentle heat gun to soften the glue before lifting the residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, surface preparation is essential. Clean both the back of the number plate and the mounting surface on the vehicle using a degreaser to remove wax, dirt, or oil. Apply the pads with firm, even pressure across the surface area, and allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure before subjecting the part to stress or high-speed driving. These pads are compatible with most vehicle body panels, plastics, and painted metal surfaces. To maintain the bond, avoid using harsh chemical solvents directly on the adhesive edges during routine car washing.
