🧼 A guide to car decal maintenance in summer and winter
Car stickers are a touch of personality that expresses your passion, but keeping them looking great over time requires a little care.
Whether under the blazing sun or in the freezing cold, here's how to care for your Bcustom Design stickers all year round.
☀️ During the summer: protect from the sun and heat
Heat is the main enemy of stickers, especially if the car is often left outside.
Park in the shade or use a car cover: excessive heat can soften the resin or cause the colors to fade over time.
When washing your car, keep at least 60 cm away if using a pressure washer. Use a neutral, non-abrasive shampoo with a soft sponge, avoiding wax or silicone products on the sticker.
Never apply stickers in direct sunlight: heat can create bubbles and compromise adhesion.
❄️ During the winter: protect from the cold and humidity
Cold, ice, and road salt can damage the surface of the sticker or reduce the life of the adhesive.
Avoid using hot water to melt the ice, as this could cause the stickers to peel off.
After each wash, always dry the surface with a microfiber cloth: prolonged humidity can creep under the edges and create bubbles over time.
Do not use antifreeze products or aggressive detergents directly on the stickers, but only a cloth slightly dampened with water and neutral soap.
🧽 General advice for all year round
Always use specific products for vinyl or 3D resins and avoid abrasive sponges, alcohol or solvents.
Check the edges periodically: if you notice any lifting, press gently with a plastic card or a squeegee, warming slightly with a warm hair dryer.
For resin stickers (gel badges), a light layer of protective wax can keep them shiny longer.
🔧 When to replace them
If you notice deep scratches, discoloration, or bubbles that don't go away, it's time to replace your sticker.
A new sticker, applied to a clean and decontaminated surface, will ensure a flawless look again.
