This is how I applied the picture on the back of my trailer and contest
numbers on the its' fin. It is also how I applied the contest numbers on
my
HP-14.

Apply the film wet - using a spray bottle of water with a slight
amount of detergent in it to wet the trailer and gently squeegee out
the water. The sign store should give you lots of advice.

Non citrus detergent... 10-15 drops/pint...

Ah no. Use Dawn dish washing liquid or similar like Paul says - you
want the extra slip of the detergent, but it's mostly there to act as
a wetting agent and will do that much better than the ammonia the
Windex. But if you like paying extra money for no reason knock
yourself out. BTW there is no reason to have ammonia based glass
cleaner around a glider, I sure hope that is not going on a canopy.

Also don't sweat trying to squeegee out every last small bubble. The
over squeegeeing can destroy a decal - just leave those bubbles there.
They will go away by themselves within days.

Darryl,

I guess I was lucky. Both Roger Frank and the local sign shop instructed me
to use Windex. Maybe the fact my applications were on a metal trailer and
metal glider were relevant in the recommendations.
