Installation instructions for GT Side Racing Stripes.

Prior to installation, place the stripe on a smooth surface and press the stripe down by running the squeegee over the entire surface. Clean the surface area of the car where the stripe will be applied using a small amount of spirit based cleaner and water. Do not use oil-based liquids such as turps. The area must be squeaky clean and free of any wax, oil or grease of any kind.
