Installation
🚨 NOTICE: You can only apply the stickers on painted area of your car. Do not apply on unpainted/porous plastic, as they will fall off.
-
Fill the spray bottle with water
Fill up the provided spray bottle with water. It already includes a drop of soap in it. To open the flat spray bottle, just pull the middle tab up (the one that has a spray hole). If you find it hard to pull up, use pliers. -
Clean
Spray the surface where you will be installing the HOV sticker and clean it. -
Spray
Once cleaned, spray the surface again. Then spray your fingers, spray the PPF/tint on top, then peel off the PPF/tint and spray its adhesive side. -
Apply & align
Apply the wet PPF/tint on the surface. -
Squeegee out the water
Use the provided squeegee to remove the water from under the PPF. Make sure you use the soft side of the squeegee to prevent scratching the PPF. Keep using the squeegee until there are no bubbles. You may need to re-position the PPF/tint as you remove the water, as it's possible it will slide a bit during this process. -
Tint
If you purchased the tinted option, please follow the same steps to install the tint layer on top of the HOV sticker, after installing the clear PPF first and the HOV sticker on top of it. -
Let it cure
Wet installations require minimum of 24 hours to cure. Please avoid car washes for 1-2 days after applying the PPF/tint.
Customer Reviews
I bought these mainly to tone down the garishness of the 2022 CA decals and it worked! The installation instructions are unnecessarily complicated: like another user noted, it’s much easier to create a “sandwich” of the decal with the clear film & tinted film and then affix it to the car body.
I love this product! I was second guessing a decision to get the CAV sticker as I didn’t want to possibly ruin my paint by applying the stickers to such an expensive car - TWraps to the rescue!!
Nice way to put on Clean Air stickers from California DMV. Protects the paint surface when they will need to be removed. Easy install to sandwich the decal between the clear side and the tinted side before putting them on the car.
I just received the 2023 bright neon-green HOV stickers. I bought the tint to place over the stickers to tone down the green and it worked perfectly...! And the installation was super easy too, especially since I just got my car washed before applying the new tint. This product is worthy of a 5-star rating!
much wow!
Edit: Originally received only half the order. I messaged the seller and got an immediate response and apology. They sent out the rest of the order next day free of charge. We all make mistakes. The product is great m, service is great. I’d buy again!
Great product. Easy to install and comes with everything you need
I have a matte finish gray car and didn't want the bright yellow stickers to detract from the look, so I chose this kit because it had a gray tint layer over the top to knock the color way down. Works very well. I thought the included instructions of applying the base film to the car, then the sticker, then the gray film would be awkward. So instead I used a modified install technique of applying the HOV sticker to the base material first, then applying the gray film on top, doing this all on a nice flat surface. Then finally applying this sandwich to the car, Worked just fine.
