Clear Vehicle Decal - Peeling Decal

What Are Clear Car Decals?

A clear car decal is an image or graphic printed directly onto transparent vinyl material. This allows the background of the decal to be see-through where not printed, making this a great option to use on car windows without obstructing your view. Clear car decals can be placed on either the outside or inside of your vehicle’s window and can also be applied to the sides, doors, and body without damaging paint.

Custom clear vehicle decals are generally used to advertise one’s business or products on cars, trucks, vans, jeeps, motorcycles, or any other vehicle. They are also great for showing off sports teams, logos, personal designs, and more.

How to Install Clear Car Decals

The following instructions are to help you have a successful, timely install of your custom car window decal. The installation is a simple process and requires no professional help. We recommend installing your decal in an environment with a temperature above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Clear car decals use a wet installation method, so you will need to begin by creating an application solution (approximately 3 drops of dishwashing liquid to 1 gallon of warm water) which you will eventually apply to the desired surface and the adhesive side of the decal.

Clean the desired surface (either the window or body of your vehicle) with soap and water, removing all dust and dirt particles. If dust and dirt is not fully removed from the surface this may cause small air bubbles in your decal and prevent it from adhering properly. After cleaning the surface, either allow time for the surface to air dry or remove excess water with a rubber squeegee.

Thoroughly soak the desired surface with the application solution created in Step 1.

Lay your clear vehicle decal on a flat, smooth surface and begin to remove the back liner. As you are removing the back liner, generously apply application solution to the back of the decal.

Take the decal and place it onto your desired surface with the wet adhesive side against the application surface. You may lift the decal to remove large bubbles or wrinkles when applying.

The application solution on both the application surface and the adhesive side of the decal will allow you to slide the decal into the correct position.

Use a squeegee* to remove air bubbles and excess application solution from underneath the decal. When using the squeegee, start in the center of the decal and squeegee in a straight line to the right and left side of the decal. Continue this process until you have ran the squeegee over the entire decal. Feel free to press hard when using the squeegee to ensure the removal of excess water. You may place the back liner on top of your decal during this process to avoid damage to the decal. Once squeegeed, you will not be able to reposition your decal.

*Available as an additional purchase

Use a paper towel to wipe excess water away from the edges of the decal. Allow up to 24 hours for the decal to dry before driving.

Care & Removal

Like all car and truck window decals, wash your clear decal regularly to maintain appearance and longevity. These decals are safe for most car washes. However, do not apply high pressure water for long periods of time to avoid having the decal start peeling. To remove the decal, simply peel back a corner using a razor blade and then pull the remaining decal away from the window. You can also use the razor blade to remove any remaining adhesive residue. Be careful not to scratch the installation surface if sharp objects are used during removal.

Q:
Hi I ordered the clear vehicle decals, do they have to go on the window of the car or can I put them on the paint?
Asked 26 days ago by Kaela S.
A:

As long as the surface, whether it's your car's window or car or vehicle itself, it would definitely work! Just kindly make sure that they are clean and dry before applying.

Q:
How do you apply the car decal?
Asked 26 days ago by Kaela S.
A:

For best results, we recommend a wet installation method. Please make sure that the surface where the decal would be attached is clean and dry.

To start, create an application solution (about 3 drops of dishwashing liquid to 1 gallon of warm water) that you will put on the car surface and adhesive side of the decal.

Peel away the back liner and spray the application solution on to the back of the decal. Use a squeegee to firmly press the decal and remove air bubbles and excess water. Let the decal dry for up to 24 hours before driving.

Or you may check the instructions! If you still have some questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone or chat for further assistance.

Q:
Good evening! Do you make cut-out stickers to stick on cars?
Asked a year ago by Vanessa
A:

You may choose to customize the shape of your design by choosing the option "Custom with Border". The shape of your sign will be custom with a border around the design (halo cut). Please note we are unable to do custom shapes that contain multiple separate pieces.

Q:
How do I go about removing decal?
Asked a year ago by Brandt J.
A:

Removing clear vehicle decals can be a bit challenging, but it can be done with the right tools and techniques.

  • To remove the decal, simply peel back a corner using a razor blade and then pull the remaining decal away from the window. You can also use the razor blade to remove any remaining adhesive residue. Be careful not to scratch the installation surface if sharp objects are used during removal.
  • Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the decal. Start from one corner and work your way across the decal. Keep the heat gun or dryer moving to avoid overheating and damaging the paint. The heat will soften the adhesive and make the decal easier to peel off.
  • After peeling off the decal, you may have some adhesive residue left on the surface. Use an adhesive remover, rubbing alcohol, WD-40, or a mixture of dish soap and water to remove the residue. Apply the remover to a clean cloth and gently rub the residue in a circular motion until it's gone. Wipe the area clean with a microfiber cloth.
Q:
What material is your clear car decal made out of?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Our clear car decals are made from a 3 mil optically clear vinyl with proprietary adhesion technology. The decal comes with a frosted backer that can be peeled away before application. This material is optically clear once installed. It is a durable car decal option that works in almost any temperature, is easily installed, is repositionable, and leaves no adhesive residue upon removal. This thin vinyl material is durable for use on a car yet thin enough to be aesthetically pleasing no matter the placement or size of your decal.
Q:
How do I know where my decal will be clear?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Clear is indicated by the gray and white checkered area on our design tool. If you want any part of your custom car decal to be clear, that background must be visible on your proof. When you select “Clear Car Decal” in our design tool the background will automatically switch to the gray and white checkered background to indicate that you are designing on a clear background. If you have uploaded a JPG file to the site with a white background, we will print the white of that background. If you want that to be clear instead, please upload a PNG with transparency or a vector file with transparency.

Your car decal is made from a clear vinyl material. Thus, any area(s) your graphic isn’t showing and the checkered background is visible will be clear. So the portion of your decal that will be transparent will largely depend on what you are printing. For those seeking to print over the entire surface area and yet retain visibility we recommend our perforated car decals. These decals offer one way visibility regardless of how much of the surface area is printed. Please keep this in mind when using clear car decals that have a design that covers the entire surface area.

Q:
Do you offer other types of car or vehicle decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

We offer two other types of car decals. Perforated car decals, as alluded to above, offer one way visibility and are the ideal car decal for a graphic that will cover an entire window. These are most often used for rear window decals. Opaque vehicle decals are completely opaque regardless of what is printed on them due to the opaque nature of the vinyl itself. These are best used in situations where visibility is not a primary concern, such as the sides of vehicles rather than on the windows. More information for both of these types of decals is found by clicking on the links within this paragraph.

Q:
Are vinyl car decals the same thing as car stickers or car graphics?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Generally speaking, the terms "car decals," "car stickers," and "car graphics" are interchangeable. All of these are strong adhesive graphics that can be placed on a wide variety of vehicles including trucks, boats, cars, tractors and more. While most car decals, including our perforated and opaque decals, include some kind of adhesive backing, our clear car decals do not use an adhesive backing. Instead, these decals use a proprietary adhesion that makes them repositionable yet durable enough to be used in almost any temperature and situation.

Also of note, all of our car decals (clear, opaque and perforated) are a different product from what is known as vinyl lettering. This means that these car decals will come in one continuous piece with your decal printed on it. Even a design featuring a word will have a backing to it. These can be cut to shape as explained below, but we do not recommend attempting to cut out individual letters. If you are looking for car decals that feature individual letters or designs please our vinyl lettering product page.
