How to Remove Bubbles After Fitting

1. Gather Materials

  • Vinyl stickers
  • Clean cloth or microfiber towel
  • Rubbing alcohol or soapy water
  • Squeegee or credit card
  • Masking tape

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 soapy water 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 and free from dust/debris before proceeding.

4. Position the Sticker

  • Align the sticker with your chosen location on the vehicle. Use masking tape to hold it in place.
  • 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. DO NOT PRESSURE WASH the sticker.

7. Maintenance

  • Wash your vehicle regularly, but avoid high-pressure car washes or abrasive cleaners directly on the sticker.

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. Be careful not to scratch the decal with the squeegee once transfer tape has been removed.
  • If the sticker wrinkles during application, carefully lift it and smooth it out again.
