Applying Car Window Decals Materials needed: window cleaner, masking tape, exacto knife or razor blade and a squeegee or credit card.
| Clean Surface | It is necessary that the surface that you will be applying the decal is clean and completely dry. | | Ensure Stick | Using either a squeegee or credit card rub over clear tape to ensure decal will transfer with tape | | Align Decal | Align decal on outside of window so that it is in the exact location you would like it and place a strip of masking tape across the top of the decal. This will ensure it stays in correct location. | | Remove Backing | Lift decal and pull away the white backing paper a few inches at a time. Make sure the lettering sticks to the transfer tape and not the backing. Your exacto knife can be used to ease stray letters back into place. | | Apply Decal | Use credit card or other object with a smooth edge to apply the lettering. Do not let the bottom of decal touch the surface prematurely. Use overlapping strokes to apply starting at the top center and working down and toward each edge. Once applied rub over surface of entire decal with credit card to ensure application. | | Remove Tape | Remove clear transfer tape by carefully pulling at a 180 angle. If letters begin to pull up with the transfer tape, they have not been applied firmly enough. Using your squeegee, go over the lettering again with firm overlapping strokes then once again attempt to remove the transfer tape |
