Default When to put the stripe on?

Soon I'm going to clay bar my car and put the Zaino to it, however I've got my hockey stick stripe from Fourth Circle Designs to put on. When would be the best time to put the stripe on, after I've clayed the car before I put the Zaino wax on? The car is a black 2001 z28.

after you've clayed. before wax. but, it is not recommended that you wash/wax your stripes for at least a week or 2 once they've been installed.

Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking after the clay and before the wax too. I'm glad you mentioned the deal about no wax or wash for a week or two after applying the stripe, I wasn't aware of this. I need to wait until some of this pollen settles down, it's rediculous down here.

A tip when you install them, ( I do this if I'm painting parts too) wet the floor under your car and the moisture will attract any dust in the air.
