What are vinyl decals?
Vinyl decals are long lasting outdoor stickers that are mathematically cut to shape, this eliminates the need for printing inks and background material. Vinyl Decals are also called Computer Cut Decals and Die-Cut Decals. Vinyl Cut Decals create a professional appearance for signs, windows, cars, trucks, boats, industrial & commercial equipment, in fact you can apply vinyl decals to any clean smooth surface, so they are great across many different applications. Vinyl graphics are provided on pre-spaced and pre-masked sheet for a easy, quick and professional application.
How long do they last? Depending on the vinyl specifications, they have an outdoor life from 1 year up to 9 years. For standard colors, we use a vinyl that is rated up to 6 years outdoors continuously. (If using indoors or out of the elements, vinyl will last much longer).

Depending on the complexity, we will decide if you vinyl decals can be layered or need to be printed. Using layered vinyl colors, decals can be made in multiple colors. If you feel comfortable applying layered decals, we can provide individual masked layers, which can be applied one at a time. This is normally something a professional installer would do.
Will the rear window defroster affect the decal? Not at all. Your rear window defroster will not effect your decals.
Are the decals weather proof? Yup. Decals are not affected by rain, hail, snow, salt or hot and cold temperatures. Although, after several years, your decals can fade and crack from the exposure to the sun.
Can I use the decal on the inside of the window? Yes. When ordering the decal, you can specify that you want the decal reversed. However, if your windows are tinted, it may be difficult to see the decal from the outside and we don't recommend that decals be applied directly onto the tint.
Do vinyl decals wash off? No. Car washes and pressure washers are safe on decals, but do take care when using high pressure hoses on the edges of the decal.
Will wax affect the decal? No, but when applying the wax, apply it by hand and avoid using electric buffers.
