Protecting my new vinyl wrap
Just picked up my newly wrapped (now one of a kind) Lincoln yesterday and need to get some protection on the vinyl for a trip to Detroit next week for the 100th anniversary of Lincoln.
I’ve ordered Gtechniq’s Halo coating, but won’t have it in time. I want to stick with an easy ceramic type spray on install that I can remove later and then put the long term coating on over the winter.
Was thinking of going with PA Invincible Primer Spritz + Cosmic Spritz.
Need to stick with something I already have (which you don’t know), so Kamikaze Overcoat is an option. I don’t have Gyeon CanCoat at the moment.
Give me your ideas and recommendation.

I’m not a Lincoln fan, but damn that car’s nice. And super rare too. Congrats on owning it.

Awesome ride. How do you plan to remove the temporary coating?

Re: Protecting my new vinyl wrap
Its called bad timing. Lincoln gets its right after years of rebadging and the sedan market implodes. Classic Lincoln. A shame. But take it easy dude. That's why you wrapped it. Think of itas a condom on your Lincoln. Last I checked, Condoms are disposable..........

You can actually do a light polish on the vinyl which is how I was planning to remove whatever I put on it as temporary protection.
That or use something like a CarPro Gloss Pad (super soft) and a mild cleaner like Polish Angel Escalate Lotion. Will have to do more research on what chemicals are “safe.”
I use Meguiar’s 39 to clean the vinyl top on my ’70 Riviera and it does a great job.
Ultimately I went with Artdeshine Bio Nano Pro to give me the temporary protection I was looking for. Not as durable as I was initially thinking. It’s only going to last a few months, which will get me to the end of our summer driving season here and I will be able to coat the car while it is stored over the winter.
