Preparing a delivery vehicle for lettering in Stockton
The bond starts with the panel, not the squeegee. Before a Stockton delivery vehicle is lettered, the application areas need to be sound, dry and free of wax, silicone, road film and failing paint; vinyl cannot correct a weak surface underneath it.
Side panels and rear approach view are inspected around door cycles, loading contact and reflective markings. Those are the places where contamination collects and where a shortcut in cleaning shows first as a lifted edge.
A normal wash is useful but not sufficient. Waxed wash products can leave a residue, so final preparation uses products intended for graphic application and fresh towels rather than whatever is already in the vehicle-cleaning cabinet.
Peeling clear coat, fresh bodywork and rust need a decision before the Stockton appointment. We can work around unsuitable areas, but covering them hides the warning without improving adhesion.
Stockton is served from Lombardo Lettering’s Chester base as part of Hunterdon County, with this page focused specifically on surface preparation for a delivery vehicle; the Hunterdon County service page explains the wider coverage area.
