    scalpel, plastic squeegees, (some people edge with velvet or worn denim,)
    Sharp scissors, tack cloths, lint free wipes,
    various small screw drivers and torx sockets/bits for removing trim etc.

    Isopropyl apparently is no longer recommended as a cleaning agent by Grafityp, by the way. but can be got from print one in 5l bottles (last for ages)

    Heated workshop and hot air guns
    Knee pads or soft mat.

    Oh and an infra red or laser temp sensor, seems to be highly recommendedd

    Peter is a pro 😛

    But you will also need
    masking tape, magnets (very helpful), measuring tape, print outs of what your applying. an extra pair of hands helps too, some hair to pull out and some beers.

    You will also need to wash the car so car washing equipment if you don’t go to a car wash. It’s recommended to let the car dry over night.

    Depending on the car you will also need fishing line for removing badges, prepsol from removing adhesive left from badges and side protectors etc.

    Don’t forget the camera to show us your work either.
