Waxing and Vinyl Stripes?
#21
The advise from a 40 yrs experienced Mustang restorer(late models too), was to not wax the vinyl applique' on the hood of my 1999 "Limited" GT. He said it would eventually make the vinyl dry out and crack. He told me just to wash it and keep it clean. I have done it this was for nearly 6 years and it still looks great.

Jason, I have never heard of that before. I have been waxing over stripes for years. I did an 89 dakota for a friend. He still has it. Waxes it 3 times a year as I told him to and the vinyl still looks great. Never cracked, peeled etc.. Sure, it has faded a bit but so has the paint on the truck.

They are full of . The side stripes take about 10 minutes per side, at the most, to install. It is the lemans stripes that are difficult.
