So glad there was the part where you had to fix something. Some videos it's like okay great you've done this a million times but I want to know how to do something where I have the opportunity and knowledge to fix something without having to scrap it all.

I don’t know why your video popped up in my feed, but maybe the Holy Spirit knew I needed it. 😂 I’ve literally avoided putting on my Jeep’s name for over a year now because when I tried once back then, I failed miserably and had to order new decals. This process looks much easier to do so I’ll try it out soon. Thank you!

@KatieAdams 4 месяца назад

I recently sold my jeep to get a new one, and I sold it with the decal still on it. There was very little damage to the decal, and I wist the car wash weekly. There was one tiny little part that tore off, but honestly you couldn't even notice. The decal was put on in June of 2021 and I sold the Jeep in May 2024, so almost 3 years!

The first time is a bit difficult just be patient. The nice thing about the water/soap mixture is that you can move the decal around until you have the perfect placement.

For the most part it is good, and it is still on my jeep. There is one tiny tiny little piece that ripped away but it didn't effect the design. Overall, I would say it has held up really well! And I even visit the car wash at least once a week.

How long has the vinyl been on and how has it held up? Make it through winters and salt? What about summer? I know it expands and contracts different from the metal body of the car

I applied the decal in April of of 2021 and it is still going strong. There are a couple small nicks in the vinyl but for the most part it still looks really good. We have cold winters and hot summers and it is holding up well.

It should, you just need something to dry the water. If it is super cold where you are I would also recommend waiting until it is warmer. The vinyl won't stick as well to a cold surface.

I have never tried it on wood, but I don't think so. It would probably work, but you don't want the water to soak into the wood.

Hi!! We tried this last night but the decal doesn't seem to be sticking!! Do you believe it may be because all of the water isn't out? We left it dry overnight and have applied a heat gun to it as well;; I'm about to be out and try the heat gun again and get out anymore water! But I mean today the decal seems to be lifting a bit when last night it wasn't Thanks regardless for the video!

@KatieAdams Год назад

Hmm, that is strange. How much water did you use? Just a couple of squirts of water shouldn't effect the stickiness. Did you cut the vinyl yourself, or did you buy it?

@alexplays703 Год назад

@@KatieAdams We purchased the Vinyl;; my boyfriend watched this video and made the soap/water mixture himself. He sprayed about as much as you from what I could tell! I did notice though there was a lot of water still under the sticker so I squeezed it out today and applied my heat gun;; it's seeming to slowly stick now but I'm wondering if it's been delayed due to the cold weather! Before the decal was sticking to the front and wouldn't apply but now it's beginning to stick to the car when I lift it;; but there's still some pieces that when I lift are peeling up. But at least not it's not just entirely coming up. I'm hoping it just needs a little more time to dry is all!

@@alexplays703 It does sound like the weather played a factor. It can be more difficult for vinyl to stick to a cold surface.
