Wash thoroughly
Wash the area with water and soap. Remove all dirt, mud and dust. Dry completely before continuing.
π§΄
Degrease with alcohol
Apply isopropyl alcohol to a microfiber cloth. Clean the entire application area with circular movements. Let dry for 2 minutes. This is the most important step!
π
Check cleanliness
Run the back of your hand over the surface β it must feel smooth and clean. No grease, wax or dust.
Never apply on a wet, greasy or dusty surface β the sticker will not hold!
π
Test without peeling
Place the sticker with its backing paper to check the position. Verify alignment from all angles before peeling anything.
π
Use masking tape as a hinge
Fix one edge of the sticker with masking tape so it does not move during application. This leaves both hands free for the squeegee.
Pro tip: Take a photo of the ideal position before starting to peel β you can refer to it during installation.
β©οΈ
Peel the backing progressively
Start from one corner. Fold the backing paper back at 180Β° (not upward) while pressing the sticker onto the surface with your other hand. Never peel the full backing at once.
π³
Squeegee outward
Use the squeegee or edge of a credit card. Make movements from the center toward the edges to push out air bubbles. Maintain a 45Β° angle. Apply firm, consistent pressure.
π¨
Use hair dryer for curves
Gently heat the vinyl (40β50Β°C max) for curved areas. The vinyl becomes flexible and follows the shape. Press firmly immediately after heating before it cools.
π
Remove the transfer film
If your kit has a clear transfer film β remove it slowly at 180Β° once the sticker is well adhered. If it lifts, squeegee again and try again in 5 minutes.
Pro tip β Apply one sticker at a time. Take your time, there is no need to rush!

Finishing & verification
π
Check the edges
Run your fingernail or the squeegee along all edges to make them adhere perfectly. Pay attention to corners and cut lines.
π¨
Final heating
Quickly pass the hair dryer over the entire installed sticker. This activates the adhesive and improves adhesion by up to 30%.
β°
Wait 24 hours before washing
Allow 24 hours before washing the vehicle or exposing it to rain. The adhesive needs time to reach its full strength.
Your kit is now installed! Enjoy your unique look.

Common mistakes to avoid
Do NOT do the following:
- Apply in cold weather (below 10Β°C) β the adhesive does not bond properly
- Apply in direct sunlight β the sticker dries too fast and creates bubbles
- Pull hard on the sticker if it resists β heat it first
- Use a needle or cutter to pop bubbles β squeegee outward instead
- Pressure wash within 72 hours of installation
- Apply on matte or custom paint without testing first
- Apply on a surface with existing adhesive residue
π¨
Heat the sticker
Use a hair dryer or heat gun at approximately 50β60Β°C. Heat one small area at a time β do not overheat.
βοΈ
Peel at a low angle
Lift a corner and pull slowly at 15β20Β° relative to the surface. Do not pull upward β this tears the vinyl. Keep heating as you go.
π§΄
Clean adhesive residue
If adhesive remains, apply isopropyl alcohol or WD-40. Let it soak for 2 minutes and wipe with a soft cloth. Repeat if needed.
Our 3M vinyl is designed for clean removal without damaging the original factory paint!

Common problems & solutions
There are air bubbles after installation
+
Heat the area with a hair dryer and squeegee outward. Small bubbles (less than 5mm) often disappear on their own within 48 hours thanks to the air-release technology built into the vinyl.
An edge is lifting up
+
Heat the lifted edge with a hair dryer, press firmly for 30 seconds until it cools. If it lifts again, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol, let dry completely, and press again.
The sticker tore during installation
+
Contact us at support@fastfurios.com with a photo. If it is a product defect, we send a free replacement within 7 days. Do not throw away the damaged sticker β we may ask for a photo.
The color looks different from the screen
+
Colors can slightly vary depending on screen settings. Contact us with a photo β if the difference is significant, we will find a solution. We always aim for an exact match.
Can I apply over existing stickers?
+
Remove the old stickers completely first. Clean all adhesive residue with isopropyl alcohol. The surface must be perfectly clean and flat before the new installation.
The sticker does not stick in one area
+
This is usually caused by grease or wax on the surface. Lift the sticker gently, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol, let dry 2 minutes, and reapply. Heat with hair dryer for better adhesion.
