Troubleshooting
Sticker won't adhere properly
Ensure the rim surface is perfectly clean, dry, and free from any oils or residues. Reapply heat gently if needed, ensuring the surface is clean first.
Air bubbles trapped under the sticker
Try to lift the edge of the sticker carefully and reapply, smoothing outwards. A pinprick to release air and then smoothing can also work, but may be visible.
Sticker is stretching during application
Apply less heat or try applying without heat. Ensure you are not pulling too hard on the vinyl as you apply it.
Additional decals peeling off
Clean the application area thoroughly before applying. Ensure the surface is smooth and free of dirt or wax.
