Default Headrest decal prep work.

What do you suggest I clean the headrest with (black leather) before I put the decal on? and should I do the regular spray of windex for relocation? I dont wanna ruin the leather with rubbing alcohol.

You can always use some elbo greese. Just want to get any cleaner off before you apply the decal.

I just used an alcoholl wipe. make sure you get the leather treatment off though. I ruined a couple decals already. Once I felt the decal was on good I just went over the leather again with leather treatment (Zaino).
No problems.
