Great product! And that application looks painfully simple.

Is there anything you should do before you apply it besides obviously wash the area? (clay/polish/wax etc.) Is the spray included in the kit as well?

Great question. Yes, we recommend waxing the area you will be protecting (applying the pieces to). Its so important, we state it twice in the instructions
(1)Wash
(2)Wax (buff to shine)
(3) make sure the temperature is 65 and above.
(4) Use plenty of water.
Super easy. Super safe.

*Helpful hint: Use Distilled water rather then tap water.
*Here's another tip: This started many years ago here on the forum. A member used Zaino detailing spray (Z14) with the distilled water ( 50/50 mix) to apply the kits. Had great results.

Each kit comes with instructions. However always feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

Thank you
Ed

Default Why 12 pieces ?

I assume that the kit comes with install instructions ? And are they reusable ?

If you repaint, keep this product in mind.

Yes it comes with great step by step instructions. What’s great is there is no adhesive so you can"t mess up.
Just make sure you wash & wax where you will apply the pieces. This too is in the instructions.

The reason for a "multi-piece" kit is to make application easier and for the kit to look better once applied.
For instance, behind the rear wheel you will notice the bumper is split (2 pieces). You cant have one piece go over that crease/seam. So there are 2 pieces that butt up to the crease/seam.

Yes they are removable and reusable. That was the original idea when the product was released in 96 for the classic cars. But they look so good, the c5 guys (and now c6) just leave them on for most of the season. You can take them off once in a while to give them a good cleaning.
At this time you will also see what did NOT hit your paint. When its time (couple of years) , you can simply grab another fresh kit.
