New Charger

[Ronkh]

On cars like the new Charger, that have a large matt back decal area. Is it ok to wax over etc? Anything to worry about? Streaking, white chalk?
My son`s mustang had decal stripes on it but they werent anywhere as coarse as these.

I wouldn`t wax over them if can you help it..maybe even tape it off ... it won`t kill the vinyl, but it won`t be good for it either

Why would waxing a decal effect it?


I can`t imagine with all the cars that have them, that someone is not waxing them

i think i would tape the area off most likely

waxes contain petroleum distilates and it could cause lifting

Sealant ok ?

Steve...I would be interested in seeing if OEM decals have a warning about this...I just have to think that there are lots of people that are waxing those decals on new cars.

I could you imagine recall on something like if it was an issue

I would just wash it and keep it clean as it wouldn`t bond with the vinyl and it would probably just be wiped off just like any vinyl lettering or decals that are on any other vehicle

I don`t think in the short term (ie warranty period) that waxes or sealants will harm them, except if there is a tear
