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:
Will the decal impact the transparency of my windows and my ability to drive?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
It definitely can. As briefly explained above it is absolutely critical that you choose the proper type of decal for your vehicle. Clear decals are printed on a clear material. Thus, if you were to order a blank piece of the clear material, visibility would not be an issue. But if you were to order a clear decal that was printed solid black there would be very little to no visibility through that decal if it were placed on a window. Wherever your decal is printed it will not be transparent. Thus, clear car decals are best used for smaller designs or when your design doesn’t take up the majority of the sign. For decals that are larger or need to go on the windows that require visibility, please visit our perforated vehicle decals product page. These decals offer one way visibility that will not obstruct your ability to drive safely.
Q:
Can I place my decal on the inside of my car or vehicle window and have it be visible to those outside?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Yes, just like our normal window decals you are able to place your clear car decal on the inside of your window and have it be visible to someone outside your car if you select the “Inside Glass” option.

For clear car decals this is absolutely an option. If you’d like to position your car decal on the inside of your window to be seen by passersby, then simply select the “Inside Glass” option during the designing and ordering process. The decal will then have the graphic printed on the backside of the sign with the ability for the front side of the decal to adhere to the inside of your window. However, please be aware that most cars have tinted windows which may severely obstruct the visibility of your sign. The best test is to print out your graphic on a piece of paper and tape it to the inside of your car. If you can see it clearly, then the “Inside Glass” option should work for you.

Q:
Can the decal be used only on a glass surface?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Your clear car decal can be used both on a glass surface and on your vehicle itself. Generally speaking the determinant isn’t whether it is a car or not but rather what kind of surface it is. Smooth, nonporous surfaces will be compatible with your decal. This simply means that they are a solid surface that doesn’t allow air or liquids to enter through them (like a screen door). These surfaces include: laminated surfaces, plastics, stainless steel, and aluminum. Surfaces which are unsmooth and/or porous will not be compatible with our clear car decals.
Q:
Do clear vehicle decals stick to fiberglass?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Our clear vehicle decal does not stick well to fiberglass. We recommend using it on glass or a similar surface. If you're looking for a decal specifically for fiberglass, we recommend using our permanent decal.

Q:
Does my decal have a backing? How do I remove it?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Yes. Despite not having a “sticky” side, the side that will adhere to your window will be protected by an extremely thin frosted backer. Once this backing is removed you will be ready to install your car decal. If the backing is proving difficult to remove, simply place a piece of scotch tape halfway on the sign and then use the tape to slowly peel away the backing as shown in this video.

Q:
How do I install my clear window decal?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Before you do any installation it is best to clean the surface where the decal will be applied and let it air dry. The dirt and grime that is removed will ensure that the card decal will adhere better when applied. Before installing your decal you may want to mark the location you want to place it on the window or car with in a non-permanent way. After removing the backing protecting the adhesive side of the decal use a spray bottle consisting of water and a drop or two of mild detergent or soap to wet the adhesive side of the decal itself as well as the surface where it will be applied. The water in these two locations will give you the ability to reposition the decal before it is fully adhered to the surface. Once the decal is placed correctly use a squeegee or other flat surface to carefully remove any small or minor air bubbles or pockets and excess water that may remain. The only caution in using a sharp edge is to be careful not to scratch or damage the car or surface itself. We offer a felt tipped squeegee at a small charge as an additional option to help with installation and avoid such damage. Once the water has dried completely the decal will adhere to the surface and the installation is done.
Q:
Does installation require more than one person?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Smaller decals are easily installed by one person. We recommend reading the instructions fully before removing the backing so that the surface is clean and the spray bottle is prepared before beginning installation. Otherwise, small decals are not difficult to install by yourself. Larger decals (anything over 18” or 24” in any given dimension) are much easier to install with 2 or more people. This makes it much easier to prevent the decal from sticking to itself, placing the decal and removing any air bubble or pockets as it is initially applied.
Q:
How do I store my decal?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Prior to installation your decal can be stored at room temperature in a non-humid setting for up to a year. Store it flat or roll it when necessary. It should not be folded or have heavy objects placed on it if it is rolled. If you desire to remove your decal and store it we recommend using the original backing for best results for additional applications.
Q:
How do I clean my decal?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
You can and should regularly clean your decal by gently wiping the surface of the decal with a damp non-abrasive cloth. This will remove any dirt or grime buildup and help it to remain vibrant and clear.
Q:
How do I remove my decal? Will pieces of the decal be left behind?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Our custom car decals can be removed by simply peeling it away from the your vehicle”s window or surface where it is applied. Because of our custom car decal”s proprietary adhesion technology you do not need to worry about any residual stickiness or cleanup that is associated with a typical car decal.
