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:
How thick are your car window decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The thickness of our car decals is a minimal 3 Mil or .003 inches. This is thick enough to adhere to your car window or car for an extended period but not so thick that it ruins the look of the decal or vehicle itself. This extremely thin solution provides an aesthetically pleasing car decal that is simultaneously clear, durable and easily repositionable.
Q:
What is the lifespan of your clear window decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The lifespan of the clear car decal can be 3+ years with proper installation and maintenance. Though any car decal’s lifespan will vary greatly based on usage. Decals that are on vehicles driven in kinder climates inevitably will last longer than those exposed to harsh climates for extended periods.
Q:
Will the exposure to sun or the elements ruin my decal?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Our car decals are intended to be used on a vehicle that is driven and used in any climate. We print with a UV resistant ink that should protect your decal from any sun damage over time. Similarly, while there will be variability in the lifespan of your decal based off the climate it is used in, it should last for several years and withstand even the harshest of climates.
Q:
Can the decals be cut to shape? Individual letters?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

As explained above, if you are looking for individual letters or designs then please visit our vinyl lettering page. Otherwise, you may choose a simple square/rectangle with or without rounded corners. The rounded corners can be 1/4" or 1". You can also have your sign cut in the shape of a circle or oval. In addition to these options, you may choose 'custom with border' (commonly known as halo cut), which is where we will cut the decal to your design with a border around the outer edge.

Q:
How small or big can my window decal be?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Your car decal cannot be any smaller than 3”x3”. Decals smaller than this are not possible due to the industrial size of our printers. For larger decals at least one dimension must be under 52”. Assuming that one dimension is under 52” you are allowed to go up to 1176” or nearly 98’ for your other dimension!
Q:
What if my decal has more than 2 colors? Will it cost more?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
All of our signage is printed in full color. Thus, regardless of how many colors your design uses, or even how complex or intricate the design might be, your design will not impact the cost of your sign. Factors that may impact the cost of your car decal include any options selected, quantity, and applicable shipping and/or taxes.
Q:
Will your car decals only work on cars?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

No. Our vinyl car decals will actually work on a wide variety of vehicles. Whether it is a car, truck, motorcycle, boat, tractor, forklift or something else you should be able to use the decal. The important thing to keep in mind is that the surface needs to be clean and nonporous for the decal to work. Also, for tractors, forklifts and other manufacturing settings we also offer a high adhesive decal. This decal has a much stronger adhesive and should be used only for permanent uses.

Q:
How do I install clear vehicle decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

You can apply the clear vehicle decals using a wet installation method. Before applying the decal on the car, make sure that the surface you will install the decal on is free from any dust or dirt. You can do this by cleaning it with soap and water and then giving it time to completely 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.

Q:
Do you recommend a specific application temperature range?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes, we do. We recommend installing your clear vehicle decal above 40°F.

Q:
Will there be a sticker between letters?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

No. The letters in our clear vehicle decals are not individually cut or printed.
