They are simple to put on. Just get a water compund with a small mixture of soap. First just clean the surface, then spray the water compound on the area you wish to apply the decal (the water makes it easy to move the decal to the exact spot you like) once its where you want it just squeegee the water out from under it and peel the wax paper off and your done.

Water compound? is that something special or just soap and water? So once i got it where i want, i peel it off? i don't have to let dry or anything?

yeah, the water compound is just a little soap and water in a spray bottle. once you have them where you want them, squegee the water/air bubbles out of it and it should stick to your car just like it were dry and then you can peel the transfer paper off.

A couple of drops of dish washing soap (Dawn, Palmolive, etc), in a spray bottle filled with water.
