STEP
1: Surface must be clean of dirt, dust,
oil, and wax. If applying to glass, it is recommended to clean it
twice before applying the decal. Do not use windex or other window
cleaners because they leave a film on the glass. Mix together a
solution of 80% water and 20% rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle
and clean application surface thoroughly and let dry. This rubbing
alcohol solution can also be used on the vehicle body surface.
STEP 2: Temporarily place the decal, grid marked side down,
in the desired location with two small pieces of masking tape (one
on each upper corner of the decal) holding the decal to the vehicle
surface. Apply a long piece of masking tape along the top of the
decal with approximately half of the tape on the decal and half
on the vehicle surface. This will make a large 'hinged flap'.
STEP 3: Raise the large 'hinged flap', and begin to peel the
wax paper backing off the decal (exposing the sticky side fo the
decal). DO NOT ALLOW THE STICKY PART OF THE DECAL TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE
SURFACE.
STEP 4: Without allowing the decal to touch the surface, lower
the hinged flap slowly until your finger is about 1" away from
the surface. Starting from the top center, slowly and firmly begin
to apply the sticky side of the decal to the application surface
with a plastic squeegee. Be sure to use even strokes horizontally
across the decal while working your way down. Once the entire sticky
side of the decal is applied to the surface, squeegee
over the decal again with increasingly harder strokes.
STEP 5: Spray a little bit of the rubbing alcohol solution on
the transfer paper and let it sit for about 30 seconds. This will
help release the adhesive from the transfer paper. Begin removing
the transfer paper covering, peeling from one of the top corner
to the bottom of the opposite corner at a 45 degree angle. Any small
bubbles can be removed by poking a small hole with a needle and
then pushing the air out of the bubble with your index finger.
