'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.

^^^^ 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 ?

Looks good. How much, if any does it block the view out the side windows?

Vinyl guy here.
Looks like Oracal matte, which is the most common material people make this kind of stuff out of. Don't put anything on it to try and protect or seal it. Wax and stuff are just bad for matte. It should hold up on its own just fine.
If you get fingerprint oils or something on it, where it looks greasy in a spot, you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
