Daytona decal question

Postby dellagratti on Fri Nov 06, 2009 7:20 pm

When waxing the Daytona if I get wax on my decals will it stain it white like it does on plastic?

the Reason it stains plastic is because it didn't get full buffed off the plastic. i always detail and wax every part of my truck. even the windows if i don't have any RainX so as long as you go easy and buff it off i dont see it staining a vinyl decal from factory. btw nice lookin car

The tough part is getting the swirl out from the application of the wax. And, getting the white residue from the paint showing through the decal (paintbrush): "hemi" Three years, not had any probs at all. Just elbowgrease.

thats good news on that part. after i wax i always look at the decal and say "i bet it would be better waxed" but was scared to do it.

I try not to get polish or wax on my decals. If I do I just get it off ASAP. There are good products out there for decals but I haven't tried any myself.
