Prepping for Vinyl

What Do you graphics guys do to prep a car for vinyl?

Any help is appreciated.

I was going to wash the car down with dawn, then the Xzymol cleaner and apply the vinyl. Anything else?

I would probably claybar the area as well to remove any debris stuck to the paint.

I would not use any wax or silicone products under stripes. Could cause a serious adhesion problem.
