Car wash and water for the stripes and a good spray wax without any harsh chemicals
DO NOT USE CAR WAX OR ANYTHIG WITH DISTILATTES on the white stripes they will crack like a mosaic.
Vinyl cleaner and conditioner will slightly discolor them.
Come ansd see my mosaic and you can see what bad advice and experimentation does to them after 5 years.
Lite polishing compounds/car waxes get them all white and shiney but in the long run destroys them DO NOT USE!!!!!
Dry them off after any rain storm, wipe them down if you get dirt, crap, etc on them as they stain easily if left out in the sun. Park in the shade if possible..
I can go on and on..
The ones on the sides, if youhave them should be ok, its the ones on the hood which take the most abuse; heat from the engine, sun, rain, acid rain, pollution; will be the death of them.
I have to have mine removed and am getting them pained on this fall.
Good luck!!
