Waxing a Rally Edition

[SLESierra]

My truck has the matte black stripes on it like the Rally Edition. How does one wax around the matte black stripes where there is paint between the larger and smaller border stripe. I am reserved about getting wax on the stripe because the surfaces is not smooth and I believe it will hold the wax and haze up.

If the stripes were matte/satin-finished paint or decal, they need to be covered by tape such as painter's tape. I have doubt they were painted, I lean toward decal.

You do want to be careful about what you get on the matte stripes, so you're on the right track. Traditional waxes will tend to discolor matte accents. Masking them off is important not only to prevent that, but also to prevent buildup along the edge of the stripes that will hold dirt and be difficult to remove.

 

You also need to avoid polishes in those areas too.
