Previous generations of vehicle owners primarily used car decals for two main reasons: to say something or to advertise something. From funny quips to political affiliations, drivers could use their vehicle as a forum to get their point across. Likewise, companies in every industry would print up bumper stickers and decals to encourage drivers to use their vehicle as a moving advertisement for their services and product lines.

Today’s drivers have even more ways to use decals and stickers to personalize their vehicle. Yes, there are still plenty of printed stickers to get your point and political views across; however, now you can use these stickers to be funny (think faux cracked glass sticker with golf ball), be decorative, and even convey to the driving world exactly how many people (and even pets) are in your family. The decal craze doesn’t end with just bumpers and windshields; complete vehicle wraps with customized decorations or even full-sized corporate advertisements are becoming more and more popular with drivers everywhere.

Vehicle Stickers Can Have Dire Consequences On Your Exterior Paint

Sounds fun and harmless, right? Not exactly.

While sporting vehicle decals to convey, well, anything, may seem innocent enough, there can be some considerable consequences to the exterior of your vehicle. When you’re ready to remove the stickers, you may find that the adhesive has become brittle, making it challenging to remove them completely. Or, you may find that you can take off the top layer of the sticker, but in its wake you see an unsightly buildup of old stuck glue on your vehicle’s paint job.

Worse yet, if the decals have been in place for a significant amount of time, you may find that the actual shape of the sticker has been etched right into your vehicle’s finish. When the shape of the sticker remains on the paint, the only solution may a rigorous polish and wax, or possibly even an X-Kote Restoration. Any of these consequences not only diminish the value and esthetic appearance of your car, it can actually turn away potential buyers should you decide that you’re ready to sell your automobile.
