Check with a good Decal Shop because my Decal man told me he buys a solution that actually has some alcohol in it to help in the drying process. I do not recall if it has a specific name or not?

The sign shop I've used to install graphics on multiple SSPs has not used a solution when applying. I asked him about that during the last installation. His response was something to the effect that when you have placed as many graphics of large, medium, small sizes as he has it isn't necessary. If I understand at least part of the concept with the solution it allows you to move it and reposition during the install process. This shop is very meticulous positioning the graphics up front and he does a very small section at a time little by little working through the whole graphic. Others here may have different feedback to offer.

Eric,
give me a call, I'll guide you through it. Do not use application fluid to apply the decals. Apply them dry. Use tape to hold them in place.
It's easy to do.

Just call when you are ready to apply the decals. I can send you down a gold squeege which you'll need also.
A local sign shop can help you. Find a good one that knows what they are doing, and have been around for a while.

But it's an easy process if you follow my instructions.

Can't wait to see the car painted !! Will it be done by Ripon this year ????
Or Vegas in April ?? lol

Thumbs up ThanK You

Thank John and everybody else for advise.. I spent a whole day last week removing all the CHP Equipment out and off the car before it goes to the pant shop. I will be delivering the car to my paint guy either today or tomorrow.the car will be gone for approximately 4 weeks or so and my work will cut out for me to get the car ready for the Morro Bay police and fire Show and the Fabulous Fords show both in April. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend that show but I will be at the Ripon Show for sure.
