Hi Ted, what to say? I have no Wendy's in the house. Meths, well I quit drinking that years ago!  ;D

neat street:
soak in hot soapy water with a little washing up liquid on the bar, once dry they dont move.

Gel hand sanitizer works for me (from our much loved COVID days)

Wipe it on the bar or inside the grip, they slide on easy then as the alcohol evaporates, the residual tack will keep the grips firmly in place.

That sounds like the cleanest option, I might take you up on it!  ;D

I used the tie wrap method , so put several medium tie wraps between handle bar and hand grips which seemed to work very well for me.
