The same thing applies to vinyl.
It is the finish that this applies to in all situations.
If you read my post you will see where I talked about this.
It is a FACT.

I contacted the mods and asked them to sticky it.
Hopefully they will.
MANY people ask about this all the time on the forums and as you can tell even with the replies there is much confusion about it.

A good protectant can help guard against issues that cause tears.
Especially if they are exposed to the sun often.

Handwash the vehicle and avoid driving behind truckers and through bushes

I read that article about a month ago (Dr beasly's).

Hyundai (for the veloster) started offering a matte finish car with an 11 page care manual for it this year...lol. Average car owner doesn't care so in a couple of years we'll see a bunch of matte finish cars that look like poo.

the article applies to any kind of material, paint, vinyl, whatever. It's just about the basic physical properties that make a surface, in the simplest terms, dull looking or shiny.
