Default Do you need to seal vinyl graphics on vehicle?

I've seen pens and such for sealing grahic edges. Do you need this if you apply to vehicles? Outdoor signs? Maybe if you could just tell me what you use this edge sealer for it will help.
Thanks,
Heidi

the only thing i use a seal pen on for vehicles is for either tiny pin striping that doesn't have much of a basis for sticking long term or printed graphics where i want to be sure there is a really good seal at the cut edge of the print.

Thank you! It's hard to know what I actually need. Always so many miscellaneous items out there.

I have a seat-it pen, still in the package never used.
I use 651 (and shinerite for race cars) and never have had lifting problem.

I bought it for fine lines and thin pointed applications, mainly on windows. I was thinking that with the sheeting agents some car washes use I would need it but... not yet.

I'd imagine i'll use it for a premium high dollar job as an extra piece of insurance.
