Installation Instructions
(!) Please avoid direct skin contact or prolonged exposure with any chemical agent when working.

(!) Before Installation: Check the proper fitment of each piece in your kit (see the drawing on the other side of the Instruction Sheet). Do not peel off the red plastic on the back of each piece at this point. IF anything doesn't match - STOP the installation and contact CARDASHTRIM Inc via or by phone.

Follow these 4 easy steps:

Step 1.
Clean the surface inside your car with the alcohol pads provided. The surface must be dry and free of any grease, oil or contaminants for proper adhesiveness. DO NOT APPLY ALCOHOL TO THE SURFACE OF THE PIECES - IT WILL DESTROY THE GLOSSY FINISH.

Step 2.
Carefully apply the adhesive promoter applicator, provided with your kit, only to corners of the dash where you will install parts that have to curve. Let it dry.

Step 3.
Carefully lift small part of the red plastic backing and turn it to the side. Now you have a 'tail' to pull on. Line up the piece and touch the surface with the sticky part of the piece. Slowly spread the area of contact while accurately peel off the red plastic 'tail' to remove the rest of the backing

Step 4.
Apply thumb or finger pressure to entire piece while gently warming the piece with the hair dryer or heat gun up to the body temperature. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

Clean the pieces with the Windex after installation completed for better glossy look.

(!) Some Tips:

  1. Large pieces are easier to install if you leave several 'tails'. Cut the red plastic with the sharp knife when necessary to allow setting in stages.
  2. Where the surface is not flat warm the piece to make it flexible before applying pressure. When the piece is warm enough, about body temperature, it will easily bend to the contour of the vehicle.
  3. After installation spray a little amount of furniture wax on a clean rag (don't spray on the pieces) to slightly moisten the rag. Apply a very thin coat on the pieces and buff to the highest gloss. Wax like Pledge or Favor will work fine.
