The most important advice I can give you is NEVER wash your car in direct sunlight or while the paint or those stripes are hot. Pull it into the center of the garage and wash and dry it there.. Mat stripes are difficult sometimes.
Read your product codes, some forwarn you about using on mat stripes. Same concern about products with amonia for windows and use only microfiber on all paint, tinted windows with film, chrome, mylar chrome like bezels. Do not use any brake dust acid removers on rims or let any auto washes use that stuff. Clean your rims every week or every time you drive it (lol) with regular soap (use a different bucket and rag of course) and you should be okay .
I have at least six different soaps and ten different brands and grades of waxes for hand and buffing waxes on my shelf at anytime. It depends on what I think the paint needs and the level of dirt and the temperature dictates which one I use. Meguires, Mothers, Adams, Zaino, Griots,.....
These soaps and waxes all have dyes and colors in them and the yellow car will take on a tint believe it or not of whatever your using, especially if your car has a good wax on it.
