i got some decals for my car. and i was wondering if any one who has some experience with these can give me any tips before apply them? thanks

 

If you use Zaino, you might want to get it off. I had one on my front bumper, and when I washed my car the next time I sprayed it right off with the water hose.

 

nope no ziano. but i use wax as your dry. and i just washed my car today. but i also have 3m adhesive and wax remover which i was planing on useing ont he surface right before i stick them on.

 

1.) Make sure the surface is clean.
2.) Apply water to the area where the adhesive will be applied to.
3.) Place the decal over the wet area and move around to where you see it best fit.
4.) Make sure there are no bubbles so use a credit card or something of the sort to secure fitment.

To easily remove adhesive from surfaces, simply heat gun it and it comes off.

 

ok there is no adhesive. only whats on the back of the decal so should i still use water? how will it stick with the water there? its two type one stickers, two advan stickers and two mini spoon banners.

 

The part about using water is the same concept as when apply window tint film. It allows the adhesive backed decal to still have the ability to be moved around until you get it where you want it. Once you squeegy the water from beneath the decal (as with a credit card or plastic/rubber spatula) all that is left if the adhesive bonding to the surface you are applying it to. I have never done this with decals but in theory it will work just as it does with the tint.

 

thanks guys for all your help. i am going to go put these on. i will let you know how it turns out. i'll take some pics with my dig. also does anyone know any other tips for a ricks stearing wheel badge?

 

if you're sticking this on the body of the car, i'd suggest being careful with the credit card squeegying. as everyone's stated earlier, clean and take off all the wax on the area where you would like to apply the decal. spray it down with water and throw on the decal over the watered area. keep spraying more water if it starts to dry. it also helps the water stay if you put a small drop of dishwasher liquid.

let me know if you have questions.
