I just bought my vinyl and it came in the mail today. I was wondering how the best way to put it on is. I am aware of the soap and water trick, but any other tips would help alot. Also how long do i have to wait till i drive the car after putting the vinyl on?
Thank you,
-Eric

I wouldnt drive it the rest of the day
soap and water....take ur time, take ur time, take ur time
use a hair dryer to tuck the edges if not they wont stick ..wrap a credit card in microfiber to squeege out the bubbles without scratching the vinyl....and when u are done let it sit in the sun to dry....dont worry about the bubbles for a couple days...most of them will dissapear and after 3 days or so u can pop the rest with a needle

u will have to tuck the vinyl around the bottom side and the edges of the trunk....one u place the vinyl over the trunk u will see cause it is bigger than the trunk so the excess will have to tuck over

microfiber cloths u can buy at autozone....just ask for them

it took me 6 hours to do the deck lid and the tail light outlines but it was well worth it and I am very pleased with the outcome
