decals lettering

Just ordered vinyl overlays for the lettering on the side of my Formula...............

Is there anything special I should know before putting them on?

I installed the PONTIAC letter on the rear bumper of my TA a year or so ago. Easy install and look great. Don't be shy about wetting them down. They'll take a little longer to dry but it will give you more "work time" with them.

mix soap & water in a squirt bottle. like mention above wet it down. Use a plastic straight edge to squeeze the water out.

I would probably wipe them down with a wax & grease remover before installation... just make sure that it is "paint friendly". Absent that, a good scrubbing with some household dish detergent should work.

Thanks a lot, this is what I thought.

1) Remove wax that is on car.
2) Mist with clear water, then apply vinyl letters and squeegee.
3) Let dry.
4) Rewax about 3 or 4 days later.

If there's any steps I missed, please tell me.
