Can I Wax My Vehicle?

Vehicle wraps have a protective over-laminate that already enhances the finish of the graphics while providing protection against abrasion and UV damage so an extra polish is not required, but the right polish may help enhance the graphics over time. Here are some tips on what to avoid .Avoid Carnauba-based waxes, which require rigorous buffing to bring out a high shine. This buffing can damage the graphics. Carnauba-based waxes are also heat sensitive and can melt in the sun creating a greasy mess that attracts dirt and can cause black streaks. The heat also releases the stain in the wax which can in turn stain the graphics. Teflon or silicone-based polishes are fine but should be specifically designed for use on vehicle wraps. Scratches are more obvious and harder to repair on matte and textured finishes and waxes or polishes should be avoided all together.
