If you're really worried and want everything to come out perfect, go to Beacongraphics.com and order two things. One, a bottle of cleaner called Rapid Prep. This will remove any grease etc. before applying the graphic. Secondly, get a bottle of Rapid Tac. This is what is sprayed on before applying the graphic. I'm sure there are other places to get it and I'm sure there are some off brand stuff and some home application ideas, but I've used the "stuff" that's made for vinyl applaction, and it works really well.
This Yak was done completely with the Avery A-8 vinyl and never did I have a problem with the vinyl coming off, even on the compound curves.
