It's not too bad, not like black.

What wash, wax, sealer products is everyone using? Ive used Zaino in the past on black and it worked very well. Wife is partial to Zymol wash and surf city speed demon spray wax.

Everything I use is made by Adam's Polishes. Top notch stuff. All of their products have a great smell as a bonus to great results!

Like Heath said it’s not that difficult to maintain. Nothing like black.

And I to use Adams Polishes. Amazing stuff.

As others have said not nearly as bad as black. But all care depends on what type of weather and whether or not you get to garage your car. I also use Adams Polishes and have done so since 2013 when got my HotWheels SE. Have enjoyed it so much became a reseller this last year (just ask Kaizer_911, I try to keep our FIFTY facebook group informed about any great deals). So if you have any questions about an Adams Polishes product just let me know and will try to answer as best as I can.

Most people actually have more difficulty maintaining/caring for the strips on the FIFTY. My recommendation is always dry the stripes first! Also, use the matte stipe conditioner that Adams sells to make it more hydrophobic and repell the water. They do have a matte detailer...which is great, but it will not remove water spots.

Agreed. The matte graphics is probably the “worst” part. But those products work wonders.

Yeah, I have bad water spots on my matte gray stripe on the rear decklid. Not sure what to use to remove those....any advice? Been looking at the Adams kits.

I used spotless from carpro, then put a ceramic coating over it and haven't had to mess with them again!

Thank you, ordering it now!

I plan on having the car ceramic coated this spring to prevent the striping from getting bad again.

How do you like your ceramic coat?

I use a mixture of Carpro Hydro2 & Reset for wash"wax", Adam's Wheel & Glass Cleaner and McKee's tire coating. I started with all Adam's stuff which are great, but I fell in love with Hydro 2 which led me to Reset to keep up the silica coating. I ran across McKee's tire coating in looking for a long lasting not super shiny tire gel and really like that too.
