I got the following info from the .DOC link on http://www.zdecal.com/store/instruction.html:
Maintenance:
In colder climates, Decals on windows of vehicles can be damaged by the scraping of frost or ice from the windows. Mild window cleaner may be used to clean the windows without damage to the Decal.
On painted surfaces of vehicles, care must be taken when waxing. Wax will build up around the edges of the Decal, and will need to be removed. Use a soft cloth, and take your time, and be gentle. A brush, for example will force the wax underneath the edge of the Decal, and the Decal will begin to peel. The Decal will not be damaged by normal use of automotive car wash products, or water. Although the decals will withstand pressure washers, and automatic car washes, These will reduce the life and appearance of the Decal. The Decals will not last forever, but will give many years of service if taken care of.

When I wax my vehicles that have either pin stripes or "fx4" stickers on the rear panel I use a tooth pick to remove the wax from the edge of the stickers. Just take your time and it will look fine, then I use one of those "swiffer" dust rags that is supposed to be static charged which helps remove that little bit of wax dust. Hope this helps
