Red face how to put decals?

what's the best way to put decals on window? I've heard couple different ways.

What kind of water base solution is best to use? Windex, water, water & soap, etc?

After placing the decal on the window, do i need to moisten the paper part that cover's the decal?

get a squegee, those help for smooth, bubble-free applications

also bring a razor blade just incase it doesn't set right

I use a terry cloth to make sure the surface is dust free, and spray the paper as I apply the decal and use a credit card for small ones to get all the bubbles out.

i lick my finger, clean off the glass, put the decal on. rub it with my finger to get bubbles out, and slowly peel off paper.
