Ted told me - dishwashing soap mixture on door window. So I used a sponge
and washed the window with a dish detergent solution, didn't let it dry,
then applied decal as per his directions.

Dave,
 From the web site it reads:

Soak transfer in water for not more than 30 seconds.  When design 
releases itself, slide it off face upwards into position.  Press well 
down wiping gently from the centre outwards to squeeze out surplus water 
and air bubbles.  Leave at least 24 hours to dry and varnish if 
required.  One point worth mentioning is, it is worthwhile rubbing the 
area where the transfer is to be fixed with neat washing up liquid on a 
bit of cotton wool - as this helps the transfer slide into position.

The last sentence "it is worthwhile rubbing the area where the transfer 
is to be fixed with neat washing up liquid on a bit of cotton wool"

Does this mean soap and water to be dabbed on the surface to help slide 
the decal into the correct position?
