1. Surface Preparation:
   Before starting the application, thoroughly clean the surface of your vehicle. Make sure there is no dust, dirt, or grease. Use alcohol-based cleaners for a deep clean. A clean surface ensures better adhesion and longevity of the vinyl.

2. Position the Vinyl:
   Place the vinyl on the surface you want to cover and check its positioning. If you are using air-release vinyl, you don't need to worry about air bubbles. For non-air-release vinyl, be extra cautious at this stage. Place the vinyl flat and taut on the surface.

3. Application:
   Once positioned, use a plastic squeegee or a soft blade, starting from the center and working outwards. This motion helps push the air out from under the vinyl. For non-air-release vinyl, move slowly with small strokes to avoid air bubbles.

4. Attention to Edges and Corners:
   While applying to edges and corners, ensure the vinyl is securely attached. If needed, use a hairdryer or heat gun to gently heat the vinyl, making it more pliable and easier to fit around curves and corners.

5. Final Touches:
   After the application, check the surface for any remaining air bubbles. If using air-release vinyl, gently press them out with your fingers. For non-air-release vinyl, use a needle or a very fine blade to create small holes and release the trapped air.

6. Post-Application:
   Allow the vinyl to settle for a few days to ensure full adhesion. During this time, check to ensure that no edges are lifting and that the vinyl is securely attached.

By following these steps, you can achieve a successful vinyl wrap application and give your vehicle a completely new look!
