Default 2004 Mustang does it help to wax over vinyl stripes?

I was wondering if it helps to wax over vinyl racing stripes after you put them on to keep them cleaner, shinier, and protect them...? thanks!

it won't hurt a thing to wax over stripes... only thing is, and depending on the type of wax you use, you may get a wax build-up around the edges, which can be cleaned wth a soft bristle detailing brush....

I wax my stripes all the time. They come out shinier and I don't think it could hurt to give them a little extra protection. Just be warned, bird crap is your worst enemy. I had to clean it off my vinyl stripes twice and both times it left permanent marks.

Yeah wax will not hurt those stripes one but. Adds a bit of protection as well.
