Just curious, now that I've got the vinyl on the car, is there any special requirements regarding cleaning the bonnet? Obviously, I already aviod drive through car washes with the electric brushes, but is there anything else I should be aware of?

Plus you always get the best results doing it yourself and you dont have to spend a fortune on products.

If it's staining already they must've used cheap stuff, one of my friends had his pillars and some rubber bits vinyl'd before christmas and after a harsh winter it's still good as new.
