Question Vinyl Racing Stripe Care?

Anyone have any good suggestions or experience with vinyl racing stripes? I have black stripes on my stang and havent found a good way of cleaning them up. Any suggestions for keeping them looking nice? Products? Methods?
Thanks in advance

Turtlewax Ice liquid works great on vinyl! That's all I used.

Other than waxing what more do you need to do. Should be good to go.

If you keep your car generally clean, a quick detailer every day or ever other day is excellent... I know my brother uses Aerospace 303 and his stripes gleam...

Nice thing about the liquid Ice is that it's clear and won't leave any build-up at the stripe edges.

I Zaino the vinyl stripes just like my paint. I now have new stripes on the hood, and 3 year old stripes on the rest of the car. They look the same. My car is garaged with 21,000 miles. I love Zaino.

Default Clay Bar on Vinyl Stripes

Has anyone used a clay bar on their vinyl stripes? My stripes have water spots from life at the dealer.
