Feed back please

I need advise on what to use on Vinyl Stripes, I know wax will crack the stripes.

See the picture the blue stripes are vinyl.

I would use BF Crystal Seal or Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal

Opti-coat them, that's what I did for mine.

^^^That's one I've never heard before!^^^

If they are not matt vinyl stripes:
Before sealing them again...
1.) I'd first deep-clean the stripes with Mothers Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner.
2.) Then follow that up with Mothers FX SynWax.

If they are matte vinyl stripes:
1.) Same as above
2.) A matte detail/sealant product from Swissvax; Nanolex;
or, here lately: some folks are using Chemical Guys matte products

I found the answer so i will be going with 303 Aerospace Protectant next time i place an order with Auto Geek.

This is what i found any wax (which most do) that contains petroleum distillates can damage vinyl stripes and decals.

Bon Ami or Bar keeper's friend work well cleaning the stripes. 303 Aerospace protects them well.

I used to use zymol cleaner/wax when I had vinyls on my GTO.
