Default Nanoskin

I understand that you need to Nanoskin the car, even when it is new which amazed me but I tested it and it needed to be done. The car was wrapped, shipped and sat outside for maybe one day before being loaded on an enclosed trailer to California. The amount of "bumps" were a real surprise.

My question is simple. Due you Nanoskin the stripes? I know that you are supposed to polish and seal them but what about Nanoskining them?

I am using Glen's method and I have purchased the Blackfire polish and seal, Wet Diamond polish and the spray sealer so I think that I have everything necessary.

I have been using the Nanoskin blue pad with their lubricant.

Thanks,

Scot

Thank you Glen! BTW, the factory does not put anything on the cars in way of wax and the dealer told me that they do not put anything on the car but yet it seems like it has wax on it when I washed it. Thoughts?
