How to weaken sticker glue before applying?
I am going for an event with my Porsche. There are compulsory stickers to be applied. What can I put on the glue side so it becomes weaker but still sticks for a day? Spray it with silicone? What are my options?

Can the sticker be placed on glass? Then use a blade to remove the sticker?
What is the name of the event?

If you have a little time before the event, shop on trackdecals.com. Their low adhesive vinyl numbers work very well. I have a set that have survived 33 track days to date and they are very kind to the finish - that part of the car (doors) still looks new after repeated removal and application..
If you, your wife, or anyone she knows has a Cricut (a popular crafting device kind of like a 2 D printer), they can easily make some low adhesive decals for you.
Finally, the ghetto solution - make them out of low adhesive painters tape. Won't hurt the car at all. If you take 2 minutes to cut them with scissors, they actually look OK.
DON'T spray random stuff on your car. In a well-intentioned effort to protect it, you're more likely top screw it up as well as lose your decals.

Maybe applying some car wax/sealant would help? Probably would make it just slick enough to remove. If it's only on there for a day, shouldn't be an issue even if you didn't do anything. Remove with steam or a heat gun on low heat.
