It's not necessary to dewax the entire hood, only the area where the tape
goes. The bug shield I got came with a supply of alcohol swabs (like tiny
Handi-Wipes soaked in rubbing alcohol) used to wipe the area where the tape
goes. Although I haven't had it on long enough to be qualified as an expert
on the subject <cough cough> I would guess that the tape would not stick as
well on wax as it would on bare paint (clear coat?). Don't give up yet,
you'll get it on there. Good luck.
