Waxing GT/ CS stripes #2
I never got a final answer, can i wax the stripes along with the rest of the car? Some people say to wipe the wax off (the stripes) right away. Can i let it dry to a haze like the rest of the car then wipe it off? It seems like it would be a mess to wipe it off right away?

It all depends on the type of wax you are using. If it has to dry to buff, yes...it's the only way to make it shinny. Don't worry about those decals, they are made to withstand heat and all that mother nature has to offer. IMO, waxing them actually protects them just like waxing protects your paint.

Before I picked up my car at the dealer I had them do "Paint Protection" on it and after I asked what about waxing? He said "never wax" as it acts as a magnifing glass on the paint in the sun. When it comes out of the garage in a few months I will have to look into this a bit further.

I think what the dealer may have meant was just not to wax for a month or two, that's what I was told after they used some Liquid Gold paint protector to it , as far as the magnafing it No way.

That said, I also use Harly Wax which is carnauba - great stuff.
Remember, polish cleans the paint, then wax seals the finish and protects from sun/water damage.

Zanio, does not leave the white residue between the stripe and the paint, easy to apply and buff off. check out some of the other threads, this is great stuff...
