Sticker Tips?
Well I finally got Toyo Tire stickers mailed to my house. I want to ask of any tips of placing stickers onto windows.
I think I will take photos of this whole thing and make a how to if people wish. It will cover window prep, the placement, and tricks, items needed, etc. So I'm asking for everyones help on this, I want them straight, perfect.
First off I want to clean my windows with my invisable glass. Do you see any problems with using that? What is the solution needed (soap and water i think) to be able to move the stickers. Removing the solution from behind the sticker itself.

Well i know i've seen people spray something on the windows before laying down a sticker so they can align them. I though they used soapy water, but I guess not.
EDIT: I went to a site and sound this. It's for decals, but i think this is the same thing.

There is no need for a chemistry degree, or precise measurements. Making this home remedy application fluid is not rocket science. In a spray bottle, fill with about 12 oz of plain tap water. Using a liquid soap, like hand soap, or liquid dish soap, add a few drops of soap into the water. About 4 to 6 drops should do just fine. You do not want it to be TOO soapy, so it does not foam, or have too many bubbles to contend with when smoothing out your decal. The fluid simply retards the decal adhesives to allow you to reposition the decal until it is aligned properly. Use liberally, spaying in a mist pattern from a spray bottle. Mixture may foam some, but try not to let it foam excessively. The less foam you have the less bubbles you will have to contend with when smoothing out your decal.

yeah.. i wouldnt waste your time or money having a sticker "profesionaly installed" lol just eyeball it... thats what i do and mine come out good... i hold it really tight just barely on the edges and pull it tight, and kind of barely stick like about a fingerprint size of the top edge... then you can move it and stuff... then smooth it out making sure you dont have any air bubbles and scrap it with a credit card and your good....
