Spray Wax & 1LE Hood Wrap

funked1 · 08-17-2019, 01:38 PM

Is it going to be a problem if this gets on the hood? I am using the Meguiar's hybrid ceramic spray.

SiO2 can leave spots/stains on vinyl/stripes. I don't spray SiO2 directly on stripes. I try to be very careful to not get any on the vinyl.

I have tested most other detailing products on vinyl: spray wax, glass cleaner, detail spray, etc. Only SiO2 has caused me any staining.

****Your experience may vary. Always test on a small inconspicuous place first.

Thanks. I will try a non SiO2 spray wax.

Hi KirkH. Any experience with Beadmaker on vinyl? I dont think its SiO2 based.

I used Carpro Hydro2foam on my entire car and the vinyl looks exactly the same, but has the ceramic hydrophobic properties.

I have not tried P&S Beadmaker. Buy a cheap piece of vinyl off ebay or Amazon and test the Beadmaker on it first.

I have not tested SiO2 soap on vinyl, only 5% SiO2 spray sealant.
