Question Vinyl Stripe Kit Question....

For those of you that have installed stripe kits on your cars, what product/method did you use to remove wax from the paint before applying the stripes?

I can think of many products that will strip wax 100%, but most would be harmful to the paint as well.

Automotive paint wax and grease remover. It's the stuff you wipe the car down with before priming and painting. Doesn't harm the paint but removes the wax and gunk. I picked up what I'm using now at NAPA.
