Instructions for Applying GWG Car Decals

Decal Instructions:

1. Prep Your Surface and Pre-Squeegee Your UV-Car decal
Prepping the Area - When necessary, clean the surface of your item before applying the decal using either soap & water or a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water (50/50 mix). The cleaner the surface, the longer it will endure natural elements, washing, and wear and tear. Although it will adhere without this, it is recommended.
Pre-Squeegee - Place the design face down with the white side facing up. Using squeegee, run over the whole design with hard pressure, back and forth 2-4 times. Additional pressure and repetitions should be applied on thin and separated design elements, such as small text.
2. Separating The Clear Carrier Sheet From The White Backing
To detach the clear carrier sheet from the white backing, make a small tear away from the design. Gently peel the clear carrier sheet, watching to ensure the whole design lifts off the white backing. We have a saying in the CGG shop - Don’t peel with your hands, peel with your EYES. Your GWG decal contains small text, so peel slowly. If parts don't lift, re-squeegee, and attempt to peel again from a different angle.
3. Placing Your UV-Car Decal Onto Your Item
First, identify the placement area on your item.
For smaller designs (like the black decal), carefully place the design onto the placement area with two hands controlling the placement.
For larger designs (6 inches & larger, like the pink decal), you may find it easier to place the sticker starting from one side and ending at the other. This will help control your placement, reduce bubbles underneath the design, and avoid wrinkling of the carrier sheet which could cause design elements being offset and/or design overlapping. Pro-Tip: Leave a corner of the carrier sheet unpressed to the product for easy peeling.
4. Completing the Transfer Process
After placing the design, firmly squeegee it 2-4 times. Peel slowly, watching to ensure all elements stick. Again, the lesson from the shop applies here - use your EYES and not just your hands. If any part of the design is not adhering, lay the carrier sheet back down, re-squeegee and try peeling from a different angle.
