just don't drench it and use a rag under the striping so it don't get all over and it will remove your wax.

Patience, don't get upset at it and it will go ok even if it takes a while just use the little spout to apply and do a foot at a time let it soak and then peal. when you get it started try not to tear the pinstripe, apply some more stuff and let it set then peal then soak then peal may take a while.
