🛠 Installation Guide:
⚠️ Critical Temperature Requirement: For a successful bond, the ideal installation temperature is between 65°F and 73°F. Attempting to install in temperatures any warmer or colder may prevent the vinyl from adhering correctly, which will ruin the decal.
Dry Install Only: Do not use water or "wet" application methods. These professional-grade materials are designed for dry application only.
Surface Prep: This is the most important step! Clean the hood thoroughly with a heavy-duty degreaser followed by Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to ensure 100% adhesion. The surface must be completely stripped of all wax and ceramic coatings.
Pro Tips:
Visually inspect all vinyl pieces for any issues before you begin.
Use a felt-tip squeegee for even pressure and to prevent scratching the satin finish.
Pro Install Recommended: While designed to be user-friendly, large-format graphics can be challenging. If you aren't comfortable with the process, any local vinyl shop can handle the install.
