    i would wash the areas you are putting the stickers with dawn dish soap, then use a lil soapy water to apply them.....the dawn will remove any old wax residue or oils.

    very true!!!

    just a heads up...............you may wanna put the decals on before you wax/buff, cause if you do it after you have waxed the truck....the decals arent gonna stick.

    yep....thats how i would do it, cause the truck will be totally clean after the clay bar treatment. let the decals set up for a little while before you wax and buff those areas.
