clean really good with soapy water. dont use any spray cleaners like armoural or anything before you put it on.

i also sprayed soapy water on the sticky part of the stickers. This lets you move around on the plastic to get a perfect fit. Then make sure you get all the water out from under the stickers and let it dry for about a day. When it drys it'll stick and you have perfect-fit graphics.

I don't ever use soapy water when applying sponsor stickers, but when you put a graphic kit on, the soapy water is a good idea. Before I put any sticker on I clean the plastic with rubbing alcohol. It removes oil and dirt.
