  • matte black stripes on my 2011 camaro

    can i use Ultimate Wash & Wax and Ultimate Wax on the matte black stripes? or will these products ruin them?

    Re: matte black stripes on my 2011 camaro

    I would not wax matte black stripes, otherwise they won't be matte anymore. I'm not sure about UWW, but I would stick with a regular car wash until you hear from Mike Stoops.

    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

      I believe it is the rubbing that makes the matte vinyl shiny again. The soap should be fine.

        maybe try a high quality wash (nxt wash or gold class) and maybe not use the wax it may change the paint charicteristics *

          Any of our car wash soaps will be fine, but you do not want to wax flat black stripes, whether they are vinyl or paint. Waxing will start to put a shine to them, and it won't do it very evenly - we've played with this here at Meguiar's Garage with both vinyl and paint and results are generally not what you would normally want on your flat stripes.

          A very small amount of Ultimate Protectant or Gold Class Trim Detailer can be used, but overall just some UQD is probably your best bet.

            I have the same stripes on my 2010 Camaro and I use the ultimate liquid wax and they come out looking great with no swirls. The daily product I use however is the ultimate quik wax and the ultimate quik detailer. Ive never had a problem with any of these.
