MSW on Stripes - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know it's not recommended, but I looked at how soft and flexible the black pad is. I turned the PC down to 3, with very little pressure. I did the stripes with MSW, and they have never looked better. I don't see much of a difference using hand pressure and Americana vs light pressure and the pc. Any thoughts?

It's not recommended because there is potential for the foam to lift the vinyl. Personally I've gone over my stripes with the pc on a low setting to apply wax/sealant. As long as your not grinding the foam into the vinyl edges I see no harm in it.

That's what I was thinking. Man, they really look good. Better than the Americana.

Are they matte or glossy?

Factory stripes. I think they were a flat black. They look shinier now!
