How to protect car decals?

My car comes with OEM decals, or decals that were installed by the manufacturer. They are rather small decals placed. I like them a lot and I want to preserve them for as long as I can. Lately the decals are showing signs of peeling off.

 

Any sort of thing I can do to protect these decals? Like a clear coat sticker to paste over them??

Normal decals but installed in France (cos car is from France). Actually I only want to protect two decals that are circular in shape as they cannot be reproduced from decal shops. The rest like the chequered flag boxes no issue.

Buy from ebay. Cheap stuff dun need waste time thinking how to preserve it.

it is not available on ebay the ones on my car. i don't think it is even possible to get it made in local decal shops. which is the reason why i wanna protect it.

 

it was made in france to commemorate renault f1 team's win.

spray a few layer of clear coat on the decals.... but since it would not look nice to just spray that portion, so i suggest to spray your whole car... but are you willing to part the money to just preserve the decals....

If the decals are well-sticked, it can actually lasted for quite a long time. If its peeling, means before sticking it, the surface got some dirt.

 

Wash and wax your car regularly. Always park under shelter also helps.

 

There are some decal shops which can help to replicate the exact same pattern as those on your car, but the materials will be different.

 

My 2 cents worth. [:)]

Paste another layer of sticker on top of your current sticker?

 

Get those transparent / clear sticker to paste on top of your current ones!

 

Will it turn yellow under the hot sun? After some time dirt and grime accumulate at the edges making it fugly. Aiya...remove the decal altogether.
