Default 'Vette flag

Just installed the American flag on the back window, come out fairly well. Anyone else have one, how to maintain it, will it be caught and damaged by anything, rags etc.
Thanks,
Rich

I don't think it would be caught by anything. Look at all the cars with stinger and hash stripes. They last. I just would be careful washing your car not to press too hard. Just my opinion. Looks good though.

Star points are good at catching lint, I just keep a light touch. Yours look great!

^^^^ Not any better than yours, looks good. Wonder if we can use some type of wax ( or something ) to coat them ?? Wonder if rainX will do any harm to them ?

Have had mine for a few months.
I just dust them and use a light touch basically.
Wipe in line with the stripes.

The stripes are very noticeable looking out.
I guess I don’t really use those windows very much because it hasn’t bothered me at all.

If you get fingerprint oils or something on it, where it looks greasy in a spot, you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
Thank you sir for the good tip!
