Can/should I use this sticker on my car? (Korean translation)
December 26, 2018 3:14 PM   Subscribe

I bought a sticker that I would maybe like to put on my car, but the instructions are in Korean so I’m not sure it’s cleanly removable and/or appropriate for outdoor use. Can someone read the Korean and tell me if it sounds ok to use on a car (on the glass or on the bumper)?

Best answer: There's nothing that says you couldn't/shouldn't. As far as I can tell (and someone more fluent can feel free to correct me), it says it can be stuck to any flat surface. However, the examples they used were notebooks, cellphones, and suitcases, so I can't say for sure that it would be sturdy enough to withstand the weather.

This is a bit orthogonal to your question, but what does it appear to be made from? If it feels like it's a relatively heavyweight vinyl type business, it'll probably hold up as a bumper sticker. I would not count on any sticker (as opposed to clingfilm) being cleanly removable, however. You may have success with a plastic putty knife and some soap & water, but then again maybe not.

You can also get a sheet of clear vinyl cling and put the sticker up in your back window from the reverse, inside the car, using the cling to hold it in place. It's a little hacky but will stay up just fine, remove cleanly, and you won't have to worry about weather damage since it's not exposed to the elements.

Or, you can do what I do, and adhere it to some magnetic roll. I've only linked that as an example -- I usually buy mine at Michaels or JoAnn.

Oh, and then you have a magnet you can put on your car and remove at will, was the point.

Best answer: In the small print the boilerplate text says “don’t leave in high heat, strong sunlight, or excess moisture”, but it’s a generic warning.

It’s also made of PVC. I think it’ll be fine outdoors until the colors fade.
