Information

General information on affixing the decorative film

- Affix the decorative film at an ambient temperature of between 18 and max. 25 °Celsius.

- The self-adhesive logo will not stick at temperatures below 18° Celsius. The minimum temperature limit of 18° Celsius must be observed.

- Park the vehicle in the workshop beforehand as required so that the vehicle is at the ambient temperature.

- If the ambient temperature is at the minimum temperature limit, the affixed decorative film must be heated well using a hot-air gun immediately after sticking it on.

1. Clean the painted surface (of the vehicle) by washing it with a non-lubricating cleaning agent.
2. Immediately before you stick on the logo, wash off the area on which you intend to stick the film using isopropanol (100%) to ensure that all traces of silicone, grease and oil are completely removed.
