one day after you get them, u can detail ur car, just make sure their fully dry and not peeling or anything before you wax, and since u got the glossy stripes, u should be able to use any type of wax.

The only problem with traditional wax on vinyl stripes is the residue on the edge of the stripe. I use Turtle Wax Ice on my stripes, and it works great. So do all the instant detailers....Someone else can chime in, but there is another product, I believe it's Protectant 303, or something like that.....

There is a lotion that you put on them. Try and not wax them to much because over time it will make them crack (Trust me i had to replace a set).

I have flat black vinyl stripes; is there anything that I can use on them to protect them that will not hurt them?
