And removing them is not an option :D Thanks ryn004 10 March 2006, 15:28 When I had mine, I washed the car as I would have normally. The decals didn't fade or come out of place.

You can polish over them and wash the car in the normal way. chris ZippyLane 13 March 2006, 00:45 Ain't it funny how it takes 12 posts for this guy to get a straight answer.. sums this forum up.. :brickwall JTaylor 13 March 2006, 12:11 Ain't it funny how it takes 12 posts for this guy to get a straight answer.. sums this forum up.. :brickwall So he gets the answer he wants after a bit of good natured banter.

Last step products go straight over the top. If the vinyl was applied properly and is of good qualtiy it shouldn't come off with jet washing - mine have survived two years so far with no problems. :) ZippyLane 14 March 2006, 10:40 So he gets the answer he wants after a bit of good natured banter.
