Cleaning valk before applying Taka Stickers


Stampeed Valkyrie

Recommended Posts

Question,

I am about to sticker the hell out of my low-viz and I want to clean it first to remove any chemical residue so the stickers adhere better. I am abit worried though about the stories of the weathering coming off when this is done. So....Is it safe to use alcohol to clean the valk, or better to use soapy water or what? I figured I would sticker it to death and then give it a clear coat to seal it..any suggestions?

Hey Rob, I've ran my Low Viz over with Alcohol and it didn't damage it. I was taking off the weathering but it took a lot of alcohol pads to get it off, so I'd say giving it the once over with alcohol won't do any considerable damage to the weathering. I haven't put on any stickers but I'm wondering if it's the weathering itself that might cause your stickers to come off later.

Is that really the case? Will the weathering interfere with the adhesion of the decals/stickers? Great even a simple application of stickers turns into a *(^%)_&^~! project. Oh well Anyone have any other ideas or know if this really the case.
