| Each decal has 3 Layers:
1. The top layer is the clear transfer tape.
2. The middle layer is the vinyl decal.
3. The bottom layer is the backing paper.

| Note: For optimum result, decal stickers should be installed in a shaded area and not under direct sun light with surface temperature above 50F and below 90F. When washing your car, wash gently over your decal to prevent accidental peeling. When you receive your decal, apply pressure evenly on the transfer tape side with squeegee or plastic card. This will ensure the vinyl decal stays on the transfer tape and does not separate along with the backing paper during installation. If your decal comes in a roll, allow the decal to uncoil for half an hour or so before applying pressure to the decal. |
| Supplies Needed:
- Masking Tape
- Paper Towel
- Window Cleaner (DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner such as Windex)
- Optional: Squeegee (or two bank cards, back to back.)

Step 1
When you receive your decal, apply pressure evenly on the tranfer tape side with squeegee or plastic card. This will ensure the vinyl decal stays on the transfer tape and does not separate along with the backing paper during installation. Clean application surface throughly (DO NOT use ammonia based cleaner such as Windex). Place decal on desired location and apply masking tape across the top, creating a hinge.

Step 3
Bring decal down while still holding the bottom end up; apply firm pressure with your thumb (or with squeegee) and rub graphic area from center out to edges forcing all the air out.

Step 4
Let decal sit for a few minutes*, then gently remove transfer tape by pulling it straight back, leaving the graphic on the surface. If you notice any air bubbles, use a pin and poke a tiny hole. Then squeeze the air bubble out by using your thumb or squeegee. Let decal sit for 24 hours before washing your car. You can still drive your car and the decal will not fly off.
* For summer months when temperature is above 80F. Depending on the seasonal temperature, you may need to leave it longer (15 minutes to overnight during the winter). During cold weather, you can apply low heat to the decal with a hair blower to increase the adhesion of vinyl to surface. Most of decal stickers come with clear transfer tape. It is a higher tack transfer film so more time is needed for the vinyl to adhere to the surface before removing the transfer film.
