Adam's, Zaino, or Griot's Garage?

You seem to have a good handle on your protecting your paint. Let us know how it comes out.

I wouldn't use wax on the graphics. They are a matte finish and I do believe they are not clearcoated. I belong to a couple detailing forums and it is recommended that a dressing/protectant be used on matte finish graphics and decals. Not familiar with Adam's products so I can't comment on them. I use 303 Aerospace protectant. Other products are Ultra Tire Trim Guard, Meguiar's Ultimate protectant, Chemical Guys Maticulous Matte Detailer, and the list goes on and on. On mine, I apply the protectant with a foam applicator and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. I then take a clean microfiber and wipe the area to remove any excess that is on the graphic. My graphics look great.

Good luck to you.

WAX is fine to use... None of the products you have listed are WAX.. These are simple vinyl stickers nothing more nothing less.

303 is perfect inside the truck. I don't use it outside the truck for anything.

Just the sonax wheel cleaner it's good stuff but the smell is bad.

SFE was one of our main targets when we developed our Deep Wheel Cleaner. There's no way to completely mask the smell of an acid-based wheel cleaner and still maintain it's cleaning power, but the smell of ours won't peel the paint in your garage.

Just to add to this discussion. I have used Zaino in the past but the people I have talked to about applying Xpel Paint Protection to most of the truck mentioned that they had mixed results with that product under and above the Xpel. I was thinking of ordering some Adams products but not sure what to order. I really want to clay bar and protect the paint before the Xpel product gets applied and I also need recommendations on what to use after because I do not want build up on the seams of the clear paint protection film. Nick do you have any suggestions?
