Switch to the new silica sealants by Carpro and skip the old fashion wax. I have vinyl stripes and Carpro's product called Reload just wipes on and off. It gives a superior finish to any wax I have ever used with no concerns for the pesky white residue around the edges that wax can leave.

Stripes are a 100% deal breaker.

You can get the same result by laying down the vinyl stripes then laying a few coats of clear coat over them.

I like stripes but not the black 1LE hoods.

I voted for stripes but have no problem with cars that don't have any. I'm just trying to decide what to put on the convertible. Maybe just some old school pin stripes?
