It is to my understanding that wax (which I apply often) is a temporary sealant layer over the clear coat. With that being said - if I applied my new SRT badges right above the side strakes, will they fall off in time as wax wears and strips off - should I first remove the wax layer, and stick the decal on the actual clear coat?
If so what can be used to safely remove a small portion of wax on then car?
I also want to add slasher stripes - remove wax for those too?
Thanks!

IMO - The best stuff for removing the wax on a car's finish are products typically referred to as 'Prep Sol". These are acryllic solvents that nearly all reputable body shops use to remove wax, polish, silicone, tar, dust etc. from body parts before painting. They won't harm your paint/clearcoat and it's handy to keep some around in your car stuff. You'll find it at most auto parts stores, even the self-service ones (i.e., AutoZone, Advance Auto, Pep Boys, etc.).
