Yes, get all the wax off. This ensures the vinyl will stick when you lay them and that you will get the most lifetime out of your stripes (Which is around 7 years.) If your doing vinyl though, expect them to outlive the car. Because there can be some problems when you take it off, dont expect everything just to go dandy and look exactley the same 7 years later. Or, expect to get an actual paintjob when you take them off.

I used %50 rubbing alcohol, %50 water, and 2 soap drops in a spray bottle to clean the surface of the car (I put the wax on a few months ago and it wasn't that great of wax, so I don't believe I had much on there anyways.) But if you still got alot of wax, you may want to take it to a car wash/detail shop, usually they have some products they can get it off with.

I would never be able to put stripes on a car without screwing them up.
Agreed...I can't even put little stickers on my rear window without messing up...

If you want to look like a BOY racer, go with the stripes.
