    After cleaning the glass you remove the backing off the decal and apply it to the dry window and push out the air, you then pull off the front sheet.

    I always apply them wet.. i use a water/soap solution (very very very little soap) so that I can move the decal around a little to make sure its positioned perfectly. Then you squidgy out the water and air bubbles and let it sit for an hour or so to dry (or use a hair dryer).

    They're stickers that you can apply dry, but then there's no room for error. So i use the water/soap solution to get the position perfect.

    I rub an ice cube on them, it helps seperate the backing, and there was a little room for error.

    i just stick em and forget em. they are small enough that you can position them easily and small enough that you wont get air bubbles. i would use a water / soap solution on a large decal but didnt seed the necessity on these but you can if you like, its really no big deal.
