A buddy of mine is pulling some vinyl off to put some new stuff on. I`m going to polish and wax his truck in between this. I`m wondering if I shouldn`t wax the area he`s putting new vinyl on?



For reference, this is the old sticker, just getting a different color and making an adjustment.

You can polish and wax the area. But, even if you don;t wax the area, you are going to want to prep it using a product like Prep Sol or alcohol.

Wouldn`t it just be wise to polish, isp wipe, apply stickers then wax over everything when done?

I am sure nothing but the most oily of products would have an impact. On superstition alone I would still put mine on a freshly stripped then buffed/polished surface.

I wouldn`t wax it. I would polish the area and then clean the area very well with IA before applying the vinyl.



Wax the area after application.

polish it, cleaner wax or alcohol, apply vinyl, then wax
