Can you wax vinyl?
« on: March 23, 2014, 02:20:35 pm »
I've wrapped my central top grill (where the plate sits) in Matt black vinyl but am unsure if I can wax it or not? How do I go about this?

Also does anyone have a good recommendation of wax for a black mk5?

Yes you can be sure your "wax" has no abrasives in it

Any wax is good for any colour of vehicle.

If it's Matt black I wouldn't wax it with normal wax.

There are dedicated Matt cleaners, sprays etc.
