Just the stickers that came with the sets.

Solvaset? Is that something I can get in a hobby store? Is it for the
decals I recall from plastic models decades ago, and not for the glued
stickers? Would it be useable with the Lego glued stickers?
Questions, questions... :-)
For reference, my current sticker application technique consists of using
tweezers to avoid getting skin oil on the stickers. After placing them, I
rub them down with my finger, then more with the back of my fingernail
(not the point, since that can tear them), making darn sure there are no
air bubbles. They still come off the curved parts. All 3 of my previously
assembled Santa Fe cars and the engine have the same problem.
