I used alcohol to remove the wax where the decals were placed and used soapy water to float them into place. Then put another coat of wax around them. A heat gun turned out to be my best friend when getting the decals to lay flat around curves. I also added rally name tags on the rear windows. Not sure how I feel about those yet.
