Quick Guide to Applying Vinyl Stickers to Your Car or Van

1. Gather Materials:

• Vinyl stickers
• Clean cloth or microfiber towel
• Rubbing alcohol or a mild detergent solution
• Squeegee or credit card
• Masking tape (optional)

2. Choose the Right Location:

• Decide where you want to place the sticker on your car or van.
• Clean the area thoroughly to ensure the sticker adheres properly.

3. Prepare the Surface:

• Use rubbing alcohol or a mild detergent solution to clean the surface where you’ll apply the sticker.
• Wipe away any dirt, grime, or wax residue with a clean cloth.
• Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.

4. Position the Sticker:

• Align the sticker with your chosen location on the vehicle. Use masking tape to hold it in place if necessary.
• Carefully peel off the backing paper from the sticker, exposing the adhesive side.

5. Apply the Sticker:

• Start from one edge of the sticker and slowly press it onto the surface using a squeegee or credit card.
• Work gradually, applying even pressure to avoid air bubbles or wrinkles.
• Continue smoothing out the sticker until it’s fully adhered to the surface.

6. Final Touches:

• Inspect the edges to ensure they’re firmly stuck to the surface.
• Allow the sticker to set for at least 24 hours before washing the vehicle or exposing it to extreme conditions.

7. Maintenance:

• Wash your vehicle regularly, but avoid high-pressure car washes or abrasive cleaners directly on the sticker.
• If needed, you can apply a clear vinyl laminate over the sticker for added protection and longevity.

8. Troubleshooting:

• If air bubbles form under the sticker, use a pin or needle to puncture them, then press the air out with a squeegee.
• If the sticker wrinkles during application, carefully lift it and smooth it out again.
