I had my stripes put on by the detailer who then did GTechniq. He said the stripes could be done later after a few months but wouldn't recommend it. The benefit of the stripes on first is they also get protection, making them easier to clean.

I have GTechniq Crystal Serum on mine and was told by the detailer that stripes, vinyl or anything on the paintwork will not stick, it might initially but with driving & washing it will just peel off. He's been in the business over 20 years so i trust his judgement.

Crystal Serum
Q: Can Crystal Serum be applied on vinyl, wraps and matte finishes?
A: Yes, but we recommend C1 over coated with EXO as a more suitable solution.

EXO
Q: Can I use on paint protection film, matte paint, powder coat, carbon fibre and vinyl?
A: Yes to all! EXO is ideal for PPF and vinyl but be sure that you don't apply EXO first as PPF film and vinyl won't stick to your paint with EXO applied. EXO is good on matte finishes but C1 EXO is best.

Yes but you don't just get Crystal Serum, its always topped off with EXO (v1 or v2). Mine had CS applied then 3 coats of Exo ... Exo does only last around 18 month though before needing to be reapplied, CS lasts 7 years (or 5 years for CS lite)

Pretty sure I had to ask for it. Their site is down at present by the looks of it...
