Hi,
I would suggest an acid based hull cleaner to really get it done right. That will wipe out any remaining wax and grime that may prevent the stripe from sticking properly. I have dealt with "zing" in the past. Thanks!

Hi Ricky,
The proper way to install this decal would be to clean the hull with an acid base cleaner to remove any grime and wax residue. From there, let the surface dry completely for 24 hours. Next you will want to wipe the area with a clean microfiber cloth in order to remove any last dust particles. You will want to hold the decal up in place and use a light masking tape to secure it in order to check the potential location. Start peeling the backing paper at one end, and slowly start to apply. When completely installed, use a soft plastic squeegee to get rid of all the air bubbles. When the transfer paper is removed, and you see remaining air bubbles, try working them out with your fingers. If they will not come out, use a sharp razor blade to poke a very small hole in order to release the air. Let the adhesive settle for another 24 hours. You are then good to go! Thanks!
