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?

Looks like i know what i'll be doing next weekend. My '05 GT was sliver with no stripes, i haven't had a car with stripes since my '71 Dodge Challenger (fun car).

I can even wax over my Matte Black stripes! I use AutoGlym products... I haven't seen these available in US, so my friend sent me that from Europe.

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.

Always waxed my cars and even did the stripes. Never had any problems. I am also like a lot of folks here, waxing the stripes may help the stripes last.

I agree with the last several posts. A good wax product should provide UV protection, the same way that good glasses or contacts provide UV protection for your eyes.

I agree w 07 gtcs, that's a load of BS, IMO. I have been waxing my cars, including my GT/CS, and never heard of such nonsense. You might ask them for a reference or proof of such a statement. :bad:

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...
