Prep for stripe install and care for after?

[Rypkr937]

So I want to get some matte black stripes on my car and am concerned about getting the prep right before hand as well as how complicated it's going to make my details afterwards...

So far I haven't done any special treatments/paint correction on my car. But I was going to wash with dawn, iron x, claybar, then use jetseal and wax on top. Is any of this going to interfere with the stripes (I'm guessing the jetseal and wax might have to be stripped before stripes go down?).

Once I get matte black vinyl stripes... will I be safe to just seal and wax overtop? Or am I going to have to carefully go right up to the edge (as well as the thin area between the dual stripes)? Seems like a major PITA if I can't go overtop and may have me reconsidering the install.

Thanks for any input

You need to get all the wax off before applying the stripes and you don't want to use a petroleum based cleaner. I use isopropyl alcohol. Just like the matte black trim a matte black stripe will get that milky white appearance if you get wax on them.

Here is the stripes I put on my EB.
