    I’m the new owner of a Prime XSE.

    The only paint protection i have is a 24” clear plastic film on the hood and fenders (and front door cups).

    So when i wax the car… do i wax the roof?!

    These new fangled roofs are new to me.

    Thanks!

    What does the manual say?

    If the manual doesn't mention anything; I would wax or use a Rainx product on it. You want a protective layer up there, so you can easily hose off the bird crap. :mad::cool::p:D Kinda, sort-of kidding - but it does make things easier to clean. A waxed car is a lot easier to clean than an unwaxed car - break out the scrub brushes..... Don't ask me how I know:notworthy::whistle::unsure:

    I did a ceramic coating on mine but Rainx is a fantastic product
