Best Grip Stickum?

So what's the best way to install grips? I've heard windex works best but I've always used hairspray (with mixed results).

use lock ons

and if you dont, rubbing alcohol the inside of the grip and the bar, then hairspray, then grip wire

Downhill racing is not an extreme sport.

Air compressor works the best, hands down. next best is probably rubbing alcohol.

hairspray for sure if you do not plan on changing anything around for a long time, or do not like the metal of some lock on grips. I use ODI lock on's. I recently bought the Sunline lock on's. The only prob is that the bolt sometimes sticks out. The good is that there's no other metal exposed oun the ends of the grip.
