Re: 03 Mustang Cobra Matte Blue Metallic
As far for maintaining the vinyls they both have their own pros and cons. I've noticed upon applying gloss vinyls it is quite easy to scratch them with the squeegee. Whereas matte colors upon excessive stretching you may discolor the vinyl slightly as it becomes thin, this can happen to gloss as well though. With matte vinyls the hard 'maintenance' is only that if you have grease on your fingers and touch the wrap it may leave a little mark. This goes away quickly though with a rag and 70% alcohol though. Vinyl in general is very easy to maintain once it's on the vehicle and only requires a microfiber rag and alcohol at the minimum. They also make vinyl care kits, but it is not exactly necessary. Also you don't need to wax ever again, handwashing does the job.
@PootieTang, thank you.

Agreed on the wrap job looks amazing,but that the car looked much better in the original color.
We did a Jeep in Realtree camo at work,and did the doorjambs and all interior pieces that are exposed metal(around door panels,pillars,etc),and it was a complete PITA,even with being able to seam it without it being noticable(the pattern repeats every couple of feet,so you can seam it easily).Really makes me appreciate the quality of the job on this Mustang.
