Waxing around stripes Does anyone have any aftermarket stripes on their car that they have waxed over or around? I was concerned that the white paste may get between where the stripe starts and the actual hood the way it gets around your emblems sometimes. I am worried about that and the effects on the stripe.

You have two options. 1st use a wax that doesn't leave a white film like Klasse All in one and Sealant glaze, P21S/S100, Zaino.
Or use what ever wax you want but use a detail spray on the stripes to remove the white residue. The QD will NOT remove the wax, just the white extra wax. If that makes sense.
Klasse AIO +SG
Sonus QD spray for Carnuaba based wax
Sonus QD for use with Sealants like Klasse

yes i have put wax over my stripes. Just be sure to use a good quality wax and don't put alot of pressure at the side of the stripe to avoid a buildup. Just rub lightly and in circles, also if your stripes are in good condition you have nothing to worrie about. Also don't use a buffer! do it by hand

A wax that doesn't leave the residue that is cheaper and more available (just in case you aren't a Zaino / show car finish guy) is Meguirer's NXT wax. It's available at any auto parts store in a green / iredescent blue box. I use it on all of our daily drivers and it leaves no white residue even on our black car in the trim.

Keep an old toothbrush handy like I do. Run it up and down the edges of your stripes after the wax has dried. That should take care of any white residue. It also works great around emblems, and any tight space where your rag (or hand) won't fit.
