Clear Vehicle Decals

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.

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.

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 the paint. These are also easy to install, durable, removable, and repositionable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
