TOOLS
1) Spray bottle

4) Bucket
5) Liquid Dish Soap or Decal application liquid
6) Patientence!!!
PREP WORK
1) Wash and Wax your car!!!
2) Place car into shaded area. Perferably a covered garage with enough light to work with.
3) Using masking tape, tape boundary of area you want to place decal. For straight decals, just tape the lower boundary.
4) Adjust the tape till you like the line.
5) Mix a small amount (1-2 tbsp)of dish soap in a bucket of water.
6) Fill a spray bottle with the soapy water.
APPLICATION
1) Cut the decal into door sized pieces. Smaller pieces are easier to work with!
2) Spray the section of the car you are putting the decal with the soapy water liberally.
3) Peel the wax paper of the decal section slowly off.
4) Spray the decal liberally.
5) Spray car with soapy water if needed again.
6) Place decal on car and manuver it to where you want it.
7) Squeegee the decal with the paper backing still on.
8) Slowly peel back the backing squeegeeing where needed.
9) Squeegee any remaing bubbles out of decal.
10) If small bubble still exist, using a small pin, pop the bubble and squeegee the fluid out.
11) Repeat process for rest of car.
12) Remove masking tape.
The process takes time, but the savings will be worth it in the end!!!
