The installer I use recommends protecting them with spray wax, not rub-on.

I wouldn't use anything that has an abrasive in it since it might mar up the finish on the vinyl. Pure carnauba should be fine.

If they are gloss, ok to wax, if flat no wax. I use the same stuff, whatever it is @ the time, on the paint and the stripes.
