    Polishing over Vinyl Graphics?

    Ok, this is the procedure i was planning on doing:

    -Wash NXT
    -Clay
    -Wash NXT
    -#83 with DAP
    -#80 with DAP
    ---
    I'm going to be adding a few Vinyl graphics (spider webbing deisgns) so...
    ---
    -Rubbing Alcohol with MF Towel (only in areas where Vinyl will be applied)
    -Apply Graphics using Squeege, apply dishsoap and water to "move and set" graphic into place
    -wash NXT
    -Sealent
    -Wax



    Now, should I switch the order of anything? or should something else be changed?

    Also, in 6 months when I strip the wax and sealent off and reapply... will I be able to use #83 and #80 with a DAP over the Vinyl (if nessesary)?

    Thanks!

      That looks good.

      Depends on the quality of the vinyl graphics. Without seeing them I would say for sure avoid using the M83, and a maybe on the M80, again it just depends on the quality of the vinyl graphics.

      Best bet would be to only wax around the graphics and not use a cleaner/polish.

          Where's your new shop? What do you do there?

          Inquiring minds want to know?
