terrible example. i don't know if they redid it before importfest
as for waxing a wrap, no, its plastic. especially if its a matte wrap how would waxing a matte surface be good for it? its pretty much just as LMBmikeZ said, you only wash it. the problem with wraps (especially certain colours) is that if theres a chip (however unlikely) is that theres no way to fix it. its like plastidip when you gouge a hole in it, it stretches in the direction of the tear and although you can make it look ok, it'll get worse.
wraps really arent for anything long term, just a fun change of pace for cheap (cheap being relative)
that said, i've been playing around with it myself and its REALLY easy to do if you have 1-2 friends who have a day to spare. Roof and pillars are super easy because they're more or less flat. the front end and back bumper are the hardest ones. if youre familiar with 3d modelling, you pretty much have to "unwrap" the pieces and select the seams just like a texture. obviously removing body panels makes for better results and buying more than you need is a good idea for anyone trying it themselves. also the carbon fibre wrap tends to warp a bit if you stretch it over extreme shapes.
if i get around to it ill post up my experiments with it
