Default Ram Air decal peeling off
My Ram Air decal is peeling off on the hood. All I have done so far is wash the car and hit it with Mequiars Quick Detailer and MF towel between washes. What is the best way to re-attach? Also, should I be doing something different besides the Quick Detailer. My next project is to do the full claybar/polish/wax deal with the porter cable, so I could change. Car is garage kept. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to replace it, but you're in luck they are cheap, around 10 bucks.

Just make sure when you re-apply the new vinyl to clean the area with some rubbing alcohol first.

Mine has started peeling of to. You have to be careful when polishing or detailing....they seem to snag and peel pretty easy.

I've also ordered a new set for mine. My car is garage kept with 21K miles. Good luck!
