Re: Waxing the Stripes
Just wax them like you would the rest of your vehicle. It will keep them nicer for a lot longer. Just make sure to go down the edge with a towel / fingernail / etc to remove the wax.

Re: Waxing the Stripes
Well, input some punctuation and grammar into your posts and maybe you'll get some better answers. not trying to sound like an A**, but i could barely understand what you were reading.

Re: Waxing the Stripes
dont use a fingernail to remove the wax from the sides, just use a terry cloth
your fingernail will push some wax under the vinyl and eventually it will start to peel up but yes you can wax them ![]() |

Re: Waxing the Stripes
If your stripes were installed correctly, a fingernail isnt going to push anything under them. Of course I am talking about running your fingernail verticle, not horizontally. I have done it for years, even along pinstipping with no adverse effects.
