Shelby splitter sticker troubleshooting?

[P4mnceblue82]

So I bought the big worm kit this past spring and had my ppf/ceramic guy install while he had the car.
The GT500 sticker has held perfect! No issue while washing, etc. But the splitter sticker is a whole other story.
My guy told me when I picked it up from his shop that he had difficulty getting them to stick to the splitter. Tried alcohol and prepping the surface thoroughly, and followed the directions, etc.
The Shelby sticker holds up fine while driving. But soon as I wash the car it comes right off and I have to re apply everytime. I have even tried a mild liquid ashesive. No Beuno!
As I was washing it yesterday "by hand with basic hose" sure enough, one light swipe of the MIT and every letter but the L came off! So I said F it, pulled the L off and trashed them.

I have the 2nd set that came in the kit. Curious if you guys have any tricks or secrets of how to get these to stick better or should I just forget about the splitter stickers all together?

Thanks

3M 94 primer works wonders (as mentioned in that video/article linked by Scott). I followed the Auto Fanatic method to apply mine and even a pressure washer doesn't disturb them. I'll have to use a heat gun to remove them.

I used clear silicone and that held the letters down finally.

3M 94 primer is cheap thru Amazon.com

I believe it is is the textured nature of the beast that keeps typical vinyl adhesive from holding. Adding any decent permanent adhesive (or clear silicone,) will do the trick.
