![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So I wrapped my whole car in 3M Gloss white, but I'm kinda thinking it looked better Silver? What do you guys think?
I kinda want to take off the white? I didnt do the front and rear moldings yet... Here are some before & after pics...

Yea its pretty easy to take care of, Microfiber + Water is pretty much all you need. You could also put some spray wax on too. I actually haven't touched it since the first week of October when I finsined it. It collected dust alot, but that was about it. I guess if you have one of those detail dusters, that would help.

Yea I guess that would be the case for a non-vinyl finish, but this stuff attracts dust more than anything. I haven't really seen how it responds to dirt/grime long term, but the best way to care for it is a Microfiber & Water. I'm just starting with the vinyl, but I know there are a million people on here that have been doing it for a long time that knows better than I do!

To the OP, spray wax on a just "washed" surface isnt doing much in the way of paint protection. Spray wax is used inbetween waxes not as a substitue. Hope you are using more then just water and a microfiber towel.
+ 1 Heissrod, might as well take your car through an automatic car wash lol

I do have more pics on a thread I made in July. More on Instagram, same name.
I'm just not a silver car guy, never will be. Took me a long time to find my white/pano and look what happened

Its about as hard to upkeep as every other color.

Yup I agree with you, especially if we are talking about paint. This is vinyl, I think the spray wax is for shine, not protection. I don't even think your supposed to put any other type of wax on this stuff?
