Installation Instructions for dry application.
Clean your hands! The oils in your skin and even dead flakes of skin are easily picked up by the decal adhesive backing. Clean your hands completely and they will not cause harm to the sticky side of the decal.
Do not apply the decal in windy weather!
Tools you will need: a credit card or ID, a pin, a friend if you need help. If it is a long or tall decal, use two people to place it on the surface.
Step 1 Clean the surface thoroughly by using any regular glass cleaner like Windex or rubbing alcohol. The surface must be clean of dust, dirt, wax and oil.
Step 2 Begin by peeling the transfer tape off the paper backing. (The decal stays on the transfer tape)
Step 3 Place the transfer tape (with the decal) onto the surface.
Step 4 Using a credit card or any plastic card, start from the center out and firmly scrape the air out from the underside of the decal.
Step 5 Let the decal sit for about 30 seconds. This will help release the adhesive from the transfer tape. Begin by pulling off the transfer tape at a 45 degree angle from the top left down. Any small bubbles can be removed by poking a small hole with a needle at the base of the bubble and pushing the air down and out of the bubble with your finger. Any remaining bubbles will eventually work their way out like balloons do.
Installation Instructions for tall decals :
Step 1 Clean the surface thoroughly by using any regular glass cleaner like Windex or rubbing alcohol. The surface must be clean of dust, dirt, wax and oil.
Step 2 Using brown masking tape, tape the decal with a strip at the top and the middle of the decal. Untape the top and drop the top half of the decal down and rip off the top half of the paper backing. Using a credit card or your ID, start from the center up and firmly scrape the air out from the underside of the decal. Remove the center tape and the bottom half of the paper backing and using your credit card or a plastic card, start from the center down and firmly scrape the air out from the underside of the decal.

Wet application Installation Instructions for large decals :
Clean your hands! The oils in your skin and even dead flakes of skin are easily picked up by the decal adhesive backing. Clean your hands completely and they will not cause harm to the sticky side of the decal. Do not use water.
Step 1. Tools you will need: a credit card or ID, a pin, some Windex or glass cleaner, a friend if you need help. If it is a long or tall decal, use two people to place it on the surface.
Step 2. Thoroughly wash the surface you are putting the decal on. Prepare the application surface by removing dirt, debris, and any wax with a soft terry cloth and rubbing alcohol.
Step 3. Using a glass cleaner like Windex, spray over the application area making sure the whole area is wet. Do not allow the area to dry until the decal is where you want it
Step 4. Peel off the REAR paper backing leaving the top clear transfer tape in place. Wet again if needed.
Step 5. Place the decal on the surface and move it into the desired position.
Step 6. Using a credit card, squeegee from the center of the decal outward toward the edges. Be sure to take your time, removing all liquid and air from under the decal. After all air is removed, gently peel off the clear transfer tape starting from the top right corner and continue working it off toward the bottom left corner. Check the following day for air bubbles and remove them with a pin and the credit card.
(If door decals) repeat these steps for the other side.
