	This is from the MightyStipes website: How do I care for the stripes after installation? The manufacturer does not recommend waxing over the decal. Wash the decal as you would the rest of your vehicle with a quality automotive car wash and a soft cloth. I put blue painters tape on the edges of my stripes when clay barring and waxing to make sure I don't hit the edge of the stripe and peel it up.

	I was told to use Turtle Wax Ice on the vinyl and stripes. I have the Klasse system and it makes the stripes look great. Here is a link to Turtle Ice... http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,1,1

	My side checkers are 6 years old. I've been waxing and polishing them ever since. I've had no lifting and I've always thought that protecting them was a good idea. Periodically I clean up the edges to get out the excess. I also use the Klasse AIO and glaze. Spencer
