I used some soapy water, try and get as much water out as you can then let it sit to dry.

Yeah just get a spray bottle and put 2-3 drops of dishwashing liquid, fill the bottle up with water. Spray the soapy water wherever you are putting the decals,(make sure you keep the area soaked so you can move it around) put it on and line it up to your desired position. After that just let it dry and you will be good to go.

I just ordered some reflective ones. On the instructions (on the bfranker site) it says not to use water to aid the install. Does that mean I will have no room for error?
