I Should Be Flamed For This!

Ok so I get the Smoke kit (for headlights & tails) get all excited & take them to work so I can have them on to see how they look b4 nighttime, It was freezing cold so everytime I would spray the light the water would automatically freeze up
(Oh, I had the car washed prior to this because they said going thru a car wash might make the film come off) So I'm pissed that all the dried water spots and ice are all over the car.

So after being unsuccessful at work, I rush home put a portable heater in the gararge and start again....still no luck the damn film doesnt want to stick and it just bubbles up and its sliding all over the place..

Dammit I dont need to be here If I cant even do something like this
So please Flame on but help me out what are the directions to put these on that I just cant seem to get (b4 I pay the tint guy to put em on )

P.S. please tell me in "dummy terms"

Rockblockers go on with adhesive, i would suggest you try those. i tried the film variety first, but i couldn't get it to stay on even in san diego climate

I had the film on for a while but I got sick of my film dictating to me where and where not I'd be able to wash the car. Right now the film is off bc of the cold weather, ice, snow, wind, etc. But when winter calms down, I'm putting the adhesive tints - they're just sitting in my trunk taking up space right now... Winter needs to go away.
