→ Carefully clean the areas on which you intend to stick the film to ensure that all traces of oil, grease and silicone are completely removed.

→ Do not touch the bonding surfaces.

→ Only touch adhesive side of logo in the middle and not at the corners or along the edges (if contact is unavoidable).

→ Object (decorative film, vehicle, etc.) and ambient temperature → Minimum temperature: 15°C  .

General information on affixing the decorative film 

• Affix the decorative film at an ambient temperature of between 18 and max. 25 °Celsius. 
• The self-adhesive logo will not stick at temperatures below 18° Celsius. The minimum temperature limit of 18° Celsius must be observed. 
• Park the vehicle in the workshop beforehand as required so that the vehicle is at the ambient temperature. 
• If the ambient temperature is at the minimum temperature limit, the affixed decorative film must be heated well using a hot-air gun immediately after sticking it on. 

1. Clean the painted surface (of the vehicle) by washing it with a non-lubricating cleaning agent.
2. Immediately before you stick on the logo, wash off the area on which you intend to stick the film using isopropanol (100%) to ensure that all traces of silicone, grease and oil are completely removed.
