Smile First Mustang

My first post.

Just purchased an 07 V6 Pony Package in VIsta Blue. It has black leather, ABS and traction control. The car has 27K on the clock and 4 months left on the factory warranty. This is my first mustang and like it a lot so far. Used this site a lot researching before making a purchase.

Spent a day doing a full interior and exterior detail on it and have it looking like new. I have one question so far, my car has the vinyl stripes down the center, what is the best way to protect them? They were a little "chalky" when I first got the car. I clayed them when I did the rest of the car, that seemed to help a lot. I don't know if that was a good idea or not. What is the best way to protect them? Is carnuba way a bad idea? I would like to shine them up some as they are rather dull.

Thanks

Tape off a good portion of the car around the stripes and use a clear coat, it will make them shine better than new

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first pony purchase. Any pics?
