② Cut the reflective tape according to the size you need to paste

③ Carefully and slowly remove the backing paper behind the reflective tape, so that the adhesive backing of the tape is exposed

④ Apply the tape on one side first, then apply the reflective tape with a squeegee. Hold the end of the reflective tape with one hand. While holding the squeegee with the other hand push hard along the tape from the middle part outward to the end you are holding. This will push out the air bubbles and make it stick smoothly.

When we stick the reflective tape, we can choose masking paper tape to help us finish the preliminary fixing work, first use the masking paper tape to fix the reflective tape on the car, and then tear off the backing paper, which can prevent the misalignment of the sticky position.
