Default Graphics Help please

How do you get smaller graphics, i.e swoosh and stars to stay stuck to the car. Just washed the car and the things have just peeled off again . I followed the fitting instructions to the letter but still the bloody things peel off. Any advice or insider tips would be great.

Many thanks, Wolfie.

How long have the graphics been on? Sure I read you shouldn't wash the car for a couple of weeks after applying them.

Had mine done at sticky and was told to leave for 3-4 days then get a couple of layers of wax on.

Never really had a problem with mine.....I just take extra care when cleaning around the stickers.

You getting some pictures up mate?

They won't stay put if it's too cold when you're fitting 'em. Could also depend on how old the vinyl is. If it's cheap stuff that's been sat around for a year or two then the adhesive qualities will be much poorer than for new vinyl.

You should always prep the car with a wash thenuse somthing like spot & tar remover, if its cold outside, warm the car pannels with a hair dryer, and not wash the graphisc for 3-4 days...will stay on no probs...could be old vinyl, can u take them back? ask them and thay may well re-cut them
