How to Apply Reflective Tape on a Sedan?

[SanSilas]

The total area of the rear body reflective markings and rear reflectors applied to a motor vehicle should be no less than 0.1 square meters when using reflective marking materials. The rear body reflective markings applied to a motor vehicle should reflect the width and height of the vehicle's rear, with a ground clearance of no less than 380mm.

When applying reflective stickers, choosing the right location is crucial. I often place them along the lower edge of the rear bumper or along the waistline on the side of the car. First, clean the area with alcohol and wait until it’s completely dry before starting. Before peeling off the adhesive backing, test-fit the sticker to check the size—trim the edges with scissors if needed. When applying, press it down slowly and use a bank card to smooth out bubbles from the center outward. Avoid washing the car for 48 hours after application to let the adhesive set properly. I recommend using 3M reflective stickers from the U.S.—they’re thick and offer excellent reflectivity. At night, these reflective strips help alert vehicles behind you, especially useful in rainy conditions.
