Prep work is everything
3M general adhesive cleaner.
Safe for auto paint also Wipe everything .

Clay bar is must. If there is Anything on the paint. And I meant Anything , it pops out when it gets under vinyl.
Make sure clean your edges of car over and over .

Heat gun

Try not to over heat the vinyl. Minimum heat and Minimum stretch would be best way to go. But it will take time to figure all that out.

Cutting vinyl by door trims are very risky to touch the paint. Try to cut the vinyl on the trim. I can cut the vinyl on the paint with out touching the paint. That takes years of training. Over wrapped and tuck in is your best bet. Make sure use fresh blade every time
