Thinking about vinyl wrapping the sun-roof and mirrors...

no I wouldnt suggest that.. Use a regular sponge or wash mit, Vinyl is prone to scratches so scrubbing it may not be a good idea.

Your wrapping your sunroof?

I have a few parts of my car wrapped in vinyl and use 303 aerospace to prevent UV discoloration/add an extra layer of protection.

But as for washing, I just wash it like paint.....but no scrubbing.
