I am told to avoid polish/wax on any vinyl graphics, and be especially careful around the edges.

I can second that They seem to not enjoy being waxed and having to wipe the wax off around the edges will lead to them pealing.

Also be careful when using any sort of clay. Run over the edge and it could lift the vinyl and shove a little clay under it.

I've been putting wax on decals since the mid 90s and never had any issue. I even apply it to my clear bra, for 6 yrs now and no problem. Wax build up on edge, piece of cake, just wipe along the edges with my fingernail.
