How much faster is your car with the vinyl racing stripes??

Srsly, check Turtlewax's Ice, it is good on plastic and everything else. Should work. I always use the Meguairs NXT, but that Ice stuff is good for trim and other small details.

Personally I wouldn't fuss that much, but if you are, I'd use the Turbo Wax LVR, bonus as you can happily and safely use it on vinyl, plastic, rubber, leather.
