> 24 hourThese are nice stickers that I am using to replace damages reflectors on a car trailer, I will also add side reflectors on a smaller trailer. The back is very sticky and they should hold as well as the original factory version. There is an included smoothing tool, but fingers work just as well.

> 24 hourI park my car near the road and feel like the more visible it is, to drivers passing by, the better. I applied a couple of these to the bumper. I cleaned the bumper with alcohol before attaching the reflective strips. They are well affixed and should last for quite a while.

> 24 hourI installed these in a few places, inside my trunk lid to give some reflectivity if its open on the road, on my trailer, and also on a hitch mount cargo carrier. Adhered well to all of the surface. Just be sure you clean the surface properly first, with something like isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and grease prior to installing.

> 24 hourI first became familiar with DOT-approved tape when black carbon fiber paddles, easy to lose in Wisconsins tannin-stained waters, became popular. I got that tape when a truck-driver kayaking companion suggested that I put tape on my blades to make a paddle dropped in the water much easier to find. This tape is identical, highly visible with a sticky backing that is completely waterproof. It is very versatile - good for trailers, bike racks, driveway markers, mailboxes, etc.

> 24 hourThese large reflectors have a good adhesive backing. One half is red one half silver, and they have alternating stripes in each field. At night the reflection is quite clear, and they draw attention to whatever vehicle is illuminating them. I havent tried it but given the material its quite likely you could cut it down to different sizes if that was your need. They come with a burnishing tool to make sure the application is bubble free. You can use them individually as I did or as a continual stripe along a longer surface.

> 24 hourThis conspicuity tape is as good as any other tape I’ve used. It has very good adhesion and the reflectivity is fantastic. I don’t know the letter of the law, but this tape does not identify that it is DOT-C2 approved. The listing says that it complies but the tape itself does not indicate it. This may not be an issue but wanted to call it out. I will use this tape to mark my 18’ car hauler which is rated to 7,000 lbs. Due to the weight capacity, this tape is not required, but why wouldn’t you want it? It’s cheaper for the trailer maker to cheap out and not apply it, but for this low cost, the extra risk reduction is worth it. If you are applying this to a trailer, the white block goes toward the front, red, toward the back. Begin and end at the ends of the trailer. If you have a dry van, the upper corners on the back should only be outlined with the white, no red there. Some of the pictures in the listing are wrong. If your vehicle requires this tape, at least 50% of the side length needs to have the tape. These precut lengths make it easy. Just put one on, skip a foot, then apply another. I like that this came with the plastic tool to press the decal down well. It should go without saying, but make sure the surface is clean before applying. Wipe with alcohol if needed to remove road roils and grease.

> 24 hourThe reflective stickers on my trailer need a refresh so it was great that Im able to try these. They have a nice glossy finish and that helps add to the reflective quality. These are just as reflective as 3m stickers (I do signs for a living so Im very familiar). I saw that someone else had concerns about it not being that sticky but for me its definitely on the tacky side. I actually put it slightly crooked and went to peel off from the angle iron and it pulled off the paint so I cant expect it to be even stickier. I can see this lasting for many many years with no issues.

> 24 hourI am hoping these will stop our mailbox from being hit and I applied to the front of the gate as well. The tape itself is strong and the adhesion is great so far. I placed on weathered mailbox post and painted front gate with ease and the spatula tool helped even out the round posts. The reflectivity is great and should help with visibility and Im hopeful the mailbox is now safe. I would recommend.

> 24 hourThese work well for landmarks out in the country. Theres no light pollution out here so its very hard to see certain landmarks or even your driveway. Just remember to put them at headlight height. If theyre higher or lower, theyre not very visible. If ya remember to do that, they work great! The adhesive is not as strong as I would have expected an item like this to have but so far they are staying up. Price is fair on these as long as they continue to stay up. (I will update this review IF they dont)
