There are advantages and disadvantages to this. I never have to wax or clay bar the car. Its very easy to take care of, all you do it wash it with Jonson Baby soap because it doesn't have additives in it, and for wiping it down you use 91% Alcohol on a rag. Can not use any wax products.
Here is a wax that work well http://www.swissvax.us/merchant.mvc?...ode=MATT-PAINT
Ditto.
Nice color choice though. Enjoy my old RPF1's! LOL

It will still get contaminated like paint, so a claybar will still be a worthwhile process, it just isn't as crucial. You never HAVE to wax or clay it, but you don't have to wax or clay paint either. It just looks better and provides a protective layer for the sun and elements to beat on, instead of it beating on your vinyl.

I chose a wrap because i did the wide body and didn't want to paint it. plus my car had a few dings i was able to fix and wrap over. I was also sponsored for this but as said above it would cost around $1800 for a car with lots of vents, add-ons, ect. Also depends on the color, Seems like every week they are coming out with new colors now.

That wax works good for matte paint but not for vinyl. If you wax vinyl it will get a build up on it because it now 100% smooth like paint it. I know alot of people with vinyl wrapped cars and no one waxes them. as for clay bar never heard of someone doing that either because you can use a quick detailer on it.
