Default Rim tape

So since my Puig windscreen is still on back order (over a month now). I have put off ordering my rim tape and decals. I guess I could of called and asked Tape Works this question but I figured I could get a couple more answered by posting this instead.

The price for the tape is 22.95. Now is that for both wheels both sides or just one.
The other questions are… What did you guys use to clean the lip of the wheel to ensure a nice stick? And did you guys take the wheel off to put it on?

2. Simple Green and a final alcohol wash
3. Used front and rear stands.

You can go to any auto paint supply house and take your choice of color for about $5 bucks.

You will get enough to cover both sides of both wheels. I just cleaned them up with a rag and the tape sticks for almost a year w/o issues. Don't have stand so the bike just sat on the ground and I rolled it a few inches as the tape went around.
