If necessary, use a blow dryer or heat gun to speed up the process. Make sure the substrate is completely dry before applying the film. Alcohol is best used for spot cleaning and a quick wipe-down. Alcohol-based cleaners, such as isopropyl alcohol may be used, but is not as effective at removing wax in comparison to solvent-based cleaners. To remove these contaminants, we recommend using a grease and wax cleaner. Surfaces with any grease, oil or wax greatly reduce film adhesion and may form bubbles on neglected areas. This may be time consuming, but often these edges, especially in vehicle wrapping installations, are where the ends of the film are anchored and may peel off if not properly cleaned. Each swipe should be done with a clean portion of the towel until the towel shows no dirt on the swiped edge. To clean hard to reach edges, wrap a lint-free towel over a squeegee and proceed to swipe multiple times.

Pay particular attention to ridges, edges and seams as these areas are often neglected and may carry the most dirt and grime. Thoroughly dry the surface with a clean lint-free towel or lint-free paper towel. Then proceed to rinse the surface with water. We recommend to have the car generally cleaned with car wash soap (avoid using cleaners with waxes). The first step is to clean the surface with paint-safe grease and wax remover to remove any dirt or grime on the surface. VViViD® uses a paper liner that is effected by moisture and humidity, it is paramount to keep the vinyl in a dry place. When storing vinyl after using the product, make sure the material is tightly wound around the core. Keep humidity as low as possible and always store the vinyl vertically. When storing vinyl, try not to expose the film to heat sources (radiators, heaters) We strictly recommend applying film indoors, as this will not only help maintain aĬonsistent temperature, it will also reduce the amount of dust and contaminants If the temperature is too low, there is a higher risk of tearing as the cold makes the film more brittle. If the temperature is too high, the adhesive will activate and bond more aggressively, this will add difficulty when repositioning the vinyl on the target surface.

We recommend a working temperature to be in the range of 22 C. Temperature plays a critical role in how well the vinyl adheres to the substrate.
