Brilliant Glaze and Paint Sealant on Decals

[WMUCarGuy]

I will be detail a friend's Mini Cooper in the next couple of weeks. It has a couple of stripes on the hood and stripes along the rocker panels. They're a glossy stripe, so I'm guessing it should be no problem, but can I use Brilliant Brilliant Glaze and Paint Sealant on stripes? I'm doing everything by hand.

Just be careful when applying the PS and don't get it caked in the edges of the stripes......remember with PS less is more.

You can use BG on most stripes.  I do not care for the look on Matt Black stripes, but on shiny stripes it looks good.   As Chris stated, be careful with the edges.

Apply the product and remove the haze only with very careful motions parallel to the edges of the vinyl.  Do not apply or remove product by crossing the edge of the vinyl, or with circular motions.

 

With most products, it won't look like there is any problem by not following this advice, but any product that gets built up along the edges of the vinyl will eventually turn white after a few days, and it is very difficult to remove.

 

After a few years of not being careful enough with the vinyl lettering on the hood of my truck, I had to remove the vinyl because I could not stand seeing the residue built up along the edge.
