    How to Deal with Clear Sheeting and Decals

    I'm sure a silly question but just to be sure I wanted to ask... I have a Toyota Tundra that has some large pieces of clear sheeting (like a decal) on some of the lower side panels and the front of the hood. I'm sure they put it on at the factory for extra scratch protection. If I'm using an AIO product that touches the paint I'm assuming I should avoid buffing these areas all together. But if I'm applying a wax or polymer sealant I can go right over them correct? And the same would apply to the rear box side decals as well correct? Thanks!

    I use BLACKFIRE One Step to buff out clear plastic bras on the front of cars.

    Also use it for "glossy" graphics, not "matte" graphics.

    If the lower clear plastic are glossy and/or shiny then I would test on them and see what happens. If they are matte or dull, then I would not buff on them.

    As for applying a wax or sealant - same rule - if the surface is glossy, smooth and/or shiny, treat them.

    Perfect! Thanks Mike!! They are all glossy graphics so I'll just go right over them with the AIO and sealant/wax. Thank you.
