RE: Ultracote vs Monokote
Dishsoap works great for decals that have a sticky adheasive because it lets the decal (Or window tint) slide into position before it sticks, but a heat activated adheasive needs something to activate it - like heat. Ammonia will also activate it, and once the ammonia evaporates (Which it can do since you're not covering it with plastic wrap) the covering is stuck.
