Installation guide
Installation Guide
Clean surface, low heat, slow pressure, and a patient finish.
Overview
Follow the full sequence before you peel the backing. The decal bonds best on a clean, dry, dust-free surface at room temperature.
Warning
Do not install on cold, wet, waxed, or silicone-treated surfaces.
Checklist
What you need
Placeholder for microfiber cloth image
Isopropyl alcohol
For degreasing the surface.
Squeegee
For even pressure.
Low-heat dryer
Use gentle heat only.
Procedure
Installation steps
01
Step
Prepare the surface
Wash the surfaces thoroughly and dry them completely. Then degrease them with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, grease, silicone, and wax. A clean surface ensures optimal adhesion.
02
Step
Position cold
Before peeling the adhesive backing, position each element on the fairing. Check alignment, direction, and fit on the shapes and curves. This dry fit helps you avoid mistakes.
03
Step
Apply gradually
Peel only a small section of the backing and fix the first point. Apply gradually, smoothing from the center outward with the squeegee. Use light heat for curved areas.
04
Step
Finishing
After application, run the squeegee over the full surface again, paying extra attention to the edges and corners. If a bubble appears, lift that area gently and apply it again. Do not force the material or overheat it.
Safety
Important recommendations
Recommendation
Low heat only
Use gentle heat only when the vinyl needs help to settle.
Recommendation
No wet surfaces
Never apply on damp, dusty, or freshly washed panels.
Recommendation
No wax or silicone
Fresh wax, polish, or silicone residue will weaken adhesion.
Recommendation
Stay patient
Small corrections are easier than forcing the material into place.
Aftercare
After installation
Wait before the first wash, keep the surface away from harsh chemicals, and check the edges after the decal has fully settled.
