Whats the best way to apply new decals/stickers to the paint?
These things are next to impossible to apply correctly when dry and sticky. The easiest way to apply these sort of emblems is to apply them wet. Get a bucket of water and add a few drops of a dish detergent to the water. Either dip the applique in the water or thoroughly wet the sticky side using a spray bottle, also spray and wet the area you are applying the applique to on the car. The emblem will feel as if all the stickiness is gone. Put it on the car and position it as you want while wet. When satisfied with the positioning squegee with a credit card or whatever to smooth it and remove the bubbles. Carefuly wipe it dry and you’re done. The stickiness returns when the water/detergent is gone.
