A good clear will stick to the vinyl as long as you remove the gloss. The
problem is that the color is very thin on some graphics and sandpaper will
remove the color from around the edge or even in the middle of the graphic.
It's best to use a sanding paste like Scuff Stuff then wash the surface well
to remove the residue. I'd dampen a rag or paper towel then apply a little
Scuff stuff to the towell and work it in. scuff the surface of the vinyl
until the gloss is gone but not so much that you remove the color. This
should give a "good" quality clear plenty of tooth to make it adhere well.

Here's a link to the Scuff Stuff....

Good Luck,
