In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have the area the decal will be applied determined, use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner on the surface of the car.  Rubbing alcohol will clean the area well and evaporate quickly, making it a common choice.  Do not simply spray the cleaner onto the car or it may soak the masking tape you’ve used as a guide. Apply cleaner to a rag and wipe where the decal will stick to the car. Some cleaners like Windex or spray on cleaner-waxes leave a residue intended to help maintain shine.  This residue will prevent the decal from sticking properly to the vehicle.  Rubbing alcohol or basic car wash soap both will clean the area sufficiently. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly if you use car wash soap. Decals won’t stick as well to a wet surface, so either dry the area you cleaned with a towel or allow it to air dry completely before moving on.  If you opt to use a towel, use a chamois cloth to avoid damaging the paint. Wait for the surface to be completely dry before applying the decal. Depending on the size of the decal, you may choose to remove the entire backing or just a portion of it at a time.  If the decal is larger than your forearm, you may want to peel off the backing in thirds to make application more manageable.  Decals that are only a few inches long can have the backing completely removed. Only peel off a bit of the backing at a time for larger decals such as ones that will stretch the length of the vehicle.
Summary: Clean the area. Do not use any cleaner that leaves a film or oil on the car. Allow the cleaned area to dry completely. Peel off the beginning of the backing.

Problem: Article: To see all the possible issues in a set of facts, lawyers look at the situation from different perspectives. Putting yourself in others’ shoes allows you to understand other points of view.  On law school exams, students learn to structure their answers using the acronym IRAC, which stands for Issue, Rule, Analysis and Conclusion. Failure to spot all possible issues can derail the entire answer. For example, suppose you’re walking down a street and notice a ladder leaned against a building. A worker on the top rung is reaching far to his left, cleaning a window. There are no other workers present, and the bottom of the ladder juts out onto the sidewalk where people are walking. Issue spotting involves not only looking at this situation from the viewpoint of the worker and the person walking on the street, but also the building owner, the worker’s employer, and potentially even the city where the building is located. There’s a reason you might say you were “blinded” by anger or another emotion -- feelings aren’t rational and keep you from seeing facts that may be important to solving a problem.  Accurately spotting the issues is important to determine which facts are relevant and important. Emotions and sentiment can cause you to become attached to details that bear little to no importance to the outcome of the situation. Thinking like a lawyer requires putting aside personal interests or emotional reactions to focus on real, provable facts. For example, suppose a criminal defendant stands charged with molesting a small child. Police arrested him near a playground, and immediately began asking him why he was there and his intentions regarding the children playing nearby. The distraught man confessed he planned to harm the children. The details of the case may be revolting, but the defense attorney will set aside the emotional trauma and focus on the fact that the defendant was not informed of his right to remain silent before he was questioned. Non-lawyers may perceive this ability as a moral failing in lawyers, but it doesn’t mean lawyers don’t believe in anything. The ability to argue both sides of an issue means you understand that there are two sides to every story, each of which has potentially valid points. When you learn how to make opposing arguments, you also learn how to hear them, which increases tolerance and allows more problems to be solved cooperatively.
Summary:
Approach a problem from all angles. Avoid emotional entanglement. Argue both sides.
