Decals: polishing and waxing

[badgerlandcharger]

I have daytona decals on my charger. Im sure I want to tape them off when I machine polish my paint, but what about waxing. Should I avoid the decals all together when I wax, or should I wax over them? My other concern is, I have cutouts where the paint shows in my decals; what should I do about waxing and polishing the cut outs. Any help would be awesome. Also, on a side note, what is a good way to protect my glass sunroof?

I just use the VRT on our decals and don't worry about polishing/waxing the cut out letters in our stripe.

I would try a small spot to make sure the wax (Americana) doesn't make them white, if not I would put a very light coat so you won't get any build up on the edges. Less is more!

Will,

 

As far as the sunroof, I just use VRT around the trim and the rubber seals. I do the seals every other time I wash or so. For the glass, it's just plain Adam's glass cleaner and every couple months a coat of glass sealant.

Just be careful of getting product around the edges of your decals.

VRT works good, but I learned a new trick from Dylan last weekend at the Camaro5Fest. He brought back a set of dull black vinyl stripes to looking brand new with something I never thought of. Hand applied FMP then just DS on top of that. Those stripes looked better then the ones I had been doing all weekend with SVRT.

 

I'll have to check with Dylan, but I think he used a Revive hex pad, or an Amereicana hex pad.

 

It was a blue Revive pad.

Not machine wax. Fine machine polish by hand.
