1. Using masking tape, tape off all decals that are not going
to be replaced. If you do not tape off the other decals, the
cleaning solution used later in the process may cause the
adhesive to break down in the non-affected decals.
2. Using a hair dryer (preferable) or low setting on a heat
gun, carefully heat the decal to loosen the adhesive. Heat
until the decal is warm to touch. DO NOT OVER HEAT!
Overheating may cause damage to the paint and to the
integrity of the hood. Polaris is not responsible for any
hood damage resulting from this decal replacement
procedure.
3. Once the decal is warm to touch and the adhesive is loose,
peel the decal off slowly and evenly. Use of a hair dryer
or heat gun is required! If heat is not applied, the decal
will be very hard to remove and paint from the hood may
peel off with the decal.
4. After the decal is removed, apply 3Mt citrus based
cleaner to the decal area to remove the adhesive. Be sure
to follow the instructions and the precautions on the
container, and use rubber gloves and safety glasses. Spray
the cleaner on the adhesive and let set for 15-20 seconds.
Using a squeegee, wipe the adhesive from the hood and
deposit it in a paper shop towel. You may have to repeat
this process several times to remove all of the adhesive
from the hood. Use care not to get the cleaner on any other

5. When the bulk of the adhesive is removed from the hood
by using the squeegee, remove any left over residue with
a clean, non-abrasive shop towel or cheese cloth that is wet
with the 3Mt cleaner.
6. Once all of the adhesive is removed from the decal area,
follow with a cleaning solution of 99% water to 1% mild
dishwasher detergent. Use a non-abrasive cloth with the
solution to remove dirt, grease, cleaning solvent, and
finger prints. Always clean the surface where the decal
will be applied.
