just helps with placement, slide them around til they are perfect and easier to get air bubbles out. not necessary, if you get bubbles, just slit with an exacto. good luck.

sorry, i assumed they were static, didnt take your "should i just stick em on" literally. directions say to use water? If you dont use a ton of water, it shouldnt wash away the glue.

Wait until you see how sticky the 'tint' is. You'll quickly realize why to use a solution spray.

The solution will quickly evaporate and it'll stick just fine.

soap and water will not take away the sticky, its just like tinting windows or adding vinyl letters, like it was said before, it makes it easier to get it just right, and to get the air bubbles out
