    Would a high-pressure touchless carwash/dryer un-peel or cause the decals to come off?

    I would assume once properly adhered by following the directions they wouldn't be, but it never hurts to ask!

    Anyone ever have any problems?

    P.S.- Hand washing 4tw! -- But sometimes you want a quick wash on-the-go!

    I use a touchless carwash all the time and I have decals on my car from reflective concepts and I have never had a problem with them coming off. If one did come off though and you were unable to locate it or use it again, I'm not sure if that would fall under the lifetime warranty since it's not really considered a defect of the product. You would have to ask Matt about that.

    The only decals I have had come off are the front PONTIAC inlays. And I've had Reflective Concepts send me another before without question. You will find that if you need a replacement of any kind for any reason, Matt at Reflective Concepts will be more than happy to help. I messed up on installing the "N" on the front inlay before and he sent me 2 other "N"s and the complete PONTIAC just in case I needed extras for any other letter.

    High Pressure or Touchless car washes can absolutely cause decals (or even factory emblems) to come off. Our warranty does not typically cover this

    Our written warranty policy is here:

    If there are ever any problems though, we're always here to help

    my rear inlays and my front gpforums sticker are doing fine after a tough winter and numerous touchless washes. i do believe badge overlays could become loose.

    all of my inlays have stayed on fine the badge overlays are just not starting to peel up tho.. even still its been about 2 years and ive gone thru touchless car washes probably less than 5 times, i always go by hand... i think a combination of this rough winter and maybe my sponge when i wash over it has started to peel a couple up, theres also like air/water bubbles forming under some of the letters, you can tell unless you get up close to look at it but still its easily the best visual upgrade for you car IMO, and cheap and good quality. not to mention top notch customer service
