[QUOTE="AdamsPolishes, post: 1001366, member: 10587"] Good points Joe! A neutral pH shampoo like [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-new-car-wash-shampoo-16oz.html"]Adam's Car Wash Shampoo[/URL] is very important, since this is the product that will be used often to clean the vinyl. Some more tips: Never wash, clean or apply products to vinyl when it is hot to the touch. Allow the vinyl to cool down and work in the shade or a garage. Do not use abrasive polishes, clay bar, or machine polish vinyl. When hand polishing with [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-revive-fine-hand-car-polish.html"]Revive[/URL], be careful along the edges to prevent build-up. Apply the product along the edges, not back-and-forth across the edges. When trying to clean off visible stains or residue that are not removed by washing, start with the least aggressive method first: Waterless Wash wipe-down after a wash, [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-revive-fine-hand-car-polish.html"]Revive Hand Polish[/URL], or [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-brilliant-glaze.html"]Brilliant Glaze[/URL]. While the most stubborn stains might required diluted [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-all-purpose-cleaner.html"]All Purpose Cleaner[/URL] or diluted isopropyl alcohol, these two products should only be used as a last resort, since they can both cause damage if not done properly. And yes, you are correct, it takes some work and technique to apply the [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-h2o-guard-gloss.html"]H2O Guard & Gloss[/URL]. Another easier option for protection is [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-super-vrt-tire-trim-dressing.html"]VRT Dressing[/URL], but since it is water-based, it will only last a few washes or rains, while the [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-h2o-guard-gloss.html"]H2O Guard & Gloss[/URL] will provide about two months of protection. I will add these tips to the above write-up that I did under my own account. Thanks Dan [/QUOTE]
