Default How to stick a sticker

I finally got a replacement valve cover sticker. How do I prep the cover to ensure when I stick it, it stays stuck?

A little final prep, lacquer thinner or brake clean on a rag should do it.

I'm in the printing industry and whenever we prep any surface for label/decal application our "final" chemical is always rubbing alcohol.

Rubbin alky is your best bet. Even 'residue free brake cleaner' forms residue.
