Meh. Yours are vinyl. What'd they cost you? $100? Something like that? So wax over them, and just replace them every season. They'll look new every spring, and after 10 seasons, they'll still be cheaper than mine.

1. WASH CAR BY HAND!! Then clean the surface area with rubbing alcohol or soapy water to get all dirt/debris off car.
2.Spray surface with solution.
To make Solution: Mix in a spray bottle 20 ounces of water, 1/4 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and 1/2 teaspoon of rubbing Alcohol.
3.Carefully peel wax backing off decal, and spray with solution. This solution will allow you to move the decal until you have it in place. Once you have it positioned, start in the center and squeegee the decal down.
4. To REMOVE transfer tape (if applicable): AFTER DECAL HAS DRIED COMPLETELY, WET the transfer tape and allow it to soak. start to peel away SLOWLY, spraying solution between tape and graphic.
***TIP**** for application, start in the center, working up and down, then work your way to the ends.
***TIP*** be careful not to get the backing paper wet, as this will activate the adhesive, and the paper will stick to the backing paper (backing paper is also called a “release liner”)
4.Be sure to work out bubbles. Some small bubble might remain or appear, if you can, carefully work these to the nearest edge of the decal. If any are left, they should lay down in a few days: if they do not, you can ***** them with a needle to release moisture.

g alcohol removes little contaminents and provides a nice clean surface, used in a lot of prep solution things that deal with adhesive. For example, an external satellite radio tuner. Before mounting the tell you to wipe the surface with the included alcohol pad for better adhesion
