I have cut the old ones off. Is it just a matter of a little bit of soapy water and push....
Thanks in advance.

Hairspray works good for me. If I just use normal compressed air or something, they twist while I am riding with them. The very best way, however, is to get lock-on grips.

THE Best Way to Remove Rubber Grips
I bought this on the internet and it is
Actually THE really best way to remove rubber grips.
The set-up time per grip is approximately 45 minutes
but it removes and installs them (after set-up) in 2.3 seconds per grip.

In personal Exsperiance the best way to remove the grips is with compressed air.
I don't like cutting the grips off because (especially if you have composite handle bars) you run the risk of scoring the bars and that can be bad.
Just take an air nozzel and put it between the gip and the bar a couple of blasts and the gips are off.
As far as putting the new grips on hair spary is great (imho) just spray a liberal coating of hair spray on the inside of the gips and then spray some on the bars itself and slide the new gip on and let is stand over night before using the bike with the new gips and you won't have any problems.
Just remember only apply hair spray to one gip at a time because it starts to set up and get tacky quick.

Window cleaner to remove ( leaves no residue ), hairspray to apply ( Aquanet is good ), for compressorless folks. Lock-ons are fine on carbon bars, a friend runs them with no problem. Your shifters and brake levers are clamped to the bars, so why not grips? cheers
To put grips on I'll back up the water comment, wet the inside of the grips & the handlebar, and they should go on relatively easy, when the water dries completely (could take a couple of hours) they sholn't budge.
To get them off I used one of my skeweres (in your mums or partners kitchen) for a bit of leverage & just pour a bit of soapy water between the grip & bar, they come off pretty easy after that but make sure you wash out the soap well before putting them back on (for best stiction wehn the water dries)
