I just got a new to me `08 MINI Cooper S cabrio. `It`s a last of the supercharged edition and has the limited edition stripes. `I want to take a page from the originality movement in the collector car world and save them as best I can.
`
What can I do to keep them from cracking off/fading more. `I suspect the key with be a tough wax. `I`m not sure if one of the new `forever` sealants would be a good idea; in fact, I`ve got an unused syringe of opticoat in my detailing cabinet.
`
So what are your ideas to preserve them?

opticoat will provide better UV and acid protection for your stripes.
