Waxing stripe question??

[Mr.FT]

My 72 Demon 340 has matte black vinyl stripes, is it ok to use "quick detailer" on them when I wipe the car down? How about wax when I wax the car?
Thanks

Rule of thumb your not suppose to but....i've been waxing mine for over 6 years now..and i detail the car with a spray detailer atleast once a week..no issues that i can see..

Good question! Sounds like an "Auto Geek" question/answer.

My sports stripe is white but I always try to wipe around it with my quick detailer spray. I use of all things a Walmart sold brand called "Hot Rod Detail Spray". I have tried more expensive specialty stuff but it does not give me that smooth easy to wipe feel the Walmart sold product does! It gives a great shine and easy on off.

Depends on the type of wax. I have had no problem with flat black, or gloss black vinyl decals, or even black rubber trim, when using the Turtle Wax ""Ice" products.

Wax, quick detailer, not a problem on mine.

We don't suggest "waxing" any decals. The vinyl manufacturers will invalidate any warranty if the product is waxed.

Woops,
Guess my warranty is void LOL. I use quick detailer on mine all of the time (Phoenix Graphix). You guys truly have a great product, mine has been on since 2000. Still looks new and no problems at all.

Our slide over product is not a wax it is protectant. Wax draws the moisture out of decals and makes them crack. I am sorry for any confusions.
