I'm getting stripes this week. I've just finished washing the car. Should I go ahead and wax the car or leave it as is until the stripes are on? I'm assuming the vinyl should not have the wax layer between it and the paint. Any help appreciated.

Before the shop installs them let them know that you have not waxed the car and you used dawn. That way they won't go and use a wax remover, which is not necessary since you have performed the proper "prep" steps.

Since I am getting close to 4,000 posts, and not even a moderator, I think I will need to sell my computer soon
