Applying Vynal soon...
I have new stripes set for delivery on Wednesday, should I strip off my Epic prior to the install? Or will it be ok to install it right over the Epic?

From what i've read it's best to remove all wax from the application area prior to applying vinyl stripes

no, alcohol is the way to go or Griot's PaintPrep.
remove the wax before you use any adhesives. much better bond.

I use a 70%. 50/50 should do the trick though.
