I then used acetone and a green brillo pad to remove any hidden oil or grime and it slightly scuffed the application area. I then followed the the instructions by using alcohol to clean the application area and rear of the letter prior to putting on the glue before gluing it down. I recommend using a heat gun or hair dryer to evaporate the alcohol on the letter and tire completely.
