    Re: vinyl body

    You mean the plastic parts of the car, like the bumper? Painted or unpainted?

        Probably just a translation thing, but still confused.

        Vinyl graphics maybe? Or perhaps could post up a pic and arrow to what you mean?

            Re: vinyl body

            It seems you're asking how to care for the vinyl wrap on a car like this, correct?

            Well, it sort of depends on what soft of finish the vinyl has. The car in the picture has a flat or matte finish to it. In that case, just as with matte paint, there isn't much you can do other than a basic quick detailer to remove light dust. Waxing will only make the appearance uneven as parts will start to look a little glossier than others - it's virtually impossible to produce an even appearance when you start waxing on these finishes.

            If the vinyl is glossy or partially glossy/textured, then Ultimate Quik Wax seems to work very well. Carbon fiber, brushed metal look, etc all respond well to the UQW.

            If you scratch the vinyl wrap, however, there really isn't much you can do to repair the scratch - the vinyl is damaged and that panel will need to be rewrapped most likely.
