If they are left to dry after being squeegeed (always wanted to use that word) for 24 hours, they stay on well. Mine have been over 140 mph at Daytona and Sebring and none have come off.

I've watched folks arrive and put on the stickers, then watched as they flew off due to the still-damp area where they are put on.

Oh, I did lose one; I left the car out overnight. It was covered with a thick coating of dew - the paint was thoroughly wet; one flew off when I got onto the interstate highway. I found I could move the others so I took them off too. The dry ones won't slide!

Hi Tom,

That's all well and good on a painted car, but it doesn't hold true for a brushed aluminium car I'm afraid, which it what was being asked.
