Default Guys with blackbird stripes come in please

Do yall have a problem getting the wax out of your hood stripes?

Its really hard for me and Im thinkin about tearing the stripes off and starting all over again with a new set and just tape them off before waxing.


Any suggestions?

I had this problem a few times, but i would just take the towel down the edges to get the wax off. If that still didn't get yourself a soft detail brush and spray detailer.........I have also seen people use soft bristle tooth brushes as well

i use eagle 1 nano wax. easy to get off and if you get it on plastic or rubber is just wipes off. it is 15 bucks a bottle. but it lasts a long time and if your car is dark in color it hides scratches and pits. great wax will never buy anything else.

well recently i switched to Nu Finish Once a Year car wax, and its has been absolutely AWESOME, it is very easy to take off and the shine has been the best so far, do you think it will be bad for the clear coat to use every time??

No problem with my BB stripes - as they were painted on when I had the hood repainted and then cleared over all
