Recommendations
Apply to a clean, smooth, flat surface using isopropyl alcohol to prevent contact with contaminants, oil, grease, dust, or any chemicals that may impair the self-adhesive's bond. Install immediately after removing the liner (paper), and press the material against the substrate for optimal adhesion. Once applied, avoid harsh cleaning products and constant friction. For removal, we recommend peeling the material at a 90° angle in a shaded, climate-controlled area.
