Using the soapy solution is the method when applying the sheet-type mylar (clear plastic) backed decals. Windex in the pump container (not pressurized can) works well as long as it is ammonia free Windex. Just a light coating of the Windex, peel off the decal and lay it on, then move it wherever you wish. Squeegee or damp cloth to get out the bubbles and it works fine. Don't worry about any little areas that appear 'greyish', they'll disappear in a day or so. Of course, the better the finish, the better the decals look. I always trim the decals back a bit before peeling them off. Use a very sharp exacto knife using a straight edge to get rid of excess mylar and paper backing. I then round the corners with a good pair of sharp scissors before lifting the decals off (without fingerprinting the tacky side). Somebody else might be able to help you with the newer type decals which are called vinyl-cut decals. On those, each letter, etc. are separate and I'm not sure of the procedure there, I believe it's a little different and not so forgiving as the older type, and they cost a lot more too. Some guys say the vinyl cut type look better (no shiny plastic backing between letters).
