I would check with the detail shop first. Sometimes ceramic coating will prevent decals from sticking.

It won’t prevent it from sticking, but the adhesive will be more durable with the ceramic removed. Easy to do with alcohol.

I disagree.. legit ceramic coating will not make the decals stick. It will come off after awhile, and alcohol won't remove the coating, polishing does. But if you are talking about DIY ceramic coating, spray coating, then this is a different story.

Where do you take it? I'm not that far away.

Esoteric in New Albany. Great people.
They don’t advertise this service, but they do it for clients who purchase their regular services (PPF, ceramic, tint, etc).
Not sure if they’d do it as a stand alone service, but doesn’t hurt to ask.

Did my last Ram piece of cake I'm not paying no one to do a simple decal install.

I totally respect that. But, for $150, they’re washing my salt caked truck (far better than I could do, I might add) removing ceramic coat on hood and both sides of bed, installing the decals (again, likely better than I could) and reapplying ceramic over them.
I’m sure I could do it myself, but for the time it would take me, it makes more financial sense for me to work that same amount of time at the office and pay someone else to install them. And they’ll very likely get the hood decal in better than me doing it solo!!
