Step 1: If the
surface is extremely dirty, clean it with soap & water to remove the dirt.
Then using rubbing or denatured alcohol, (this is highly recommended) you will
want to go over the area again. (This will remove any wax or sealers, that may
be on the surface (this is very important) If alcohol is not available you can
use glass cleaner.
Step 2:
To temporarily hold your decal in place, in the area that you are applying it.
Apply several small strips of making tape to the top of your decal & the
surface.
Step 3: Using a tape measure or a straight edge ruler, line up
the decal to the straightest body line or molding on the vehicle. Step back and
make sure it looks the way you want it to look. Sometimes even the straightest
body line doesn't always look straight. Use your best judgment.
Step 4: Once the decal is in place, where you want it. Apply a
horizontal piece of masking tape (approx 2" wide) across the top of the decal.
Applying half the tape on the decal & half the tape on the surface of the
vehicle.
Step 4: (Option) If your decal is a lot wider (left to
right) then it is tall, you can apply the masking tape down the middle. (from
top to bottom)
Step
5: With the masking tape now creating a hinge, fold your decal up, folding
on the hinge. Start removing the wax backing paper, starting from the top and
pulling downward approx 1/2 way down.
Step 5: (Option)
With the masking tape now creating a hinge, fold your decal in half, pull the
backing paper away from that half of the decal & tear at the middle. (NOT
TEARING THE TAPE OR DECAL)
