Tips for prolonging the life & look of your wrap
HANDWASHING IS OUR PREFERRED METHOD
- Use a non-abrasive cleaner without strong solvents
- Use plenty of water and wash from the top of the vehicle down
- Avoid hard brushes as they can cause scratches, dull the finish, and/or lift loose edges.
- Rinse any residue thoroughly with water
- Air dry or dry with a microfiber cloth
CAN I TAKE MY WRAPPED VEHICLE INTO A DRIVE-THROUGH CAR WASH?
You can bring your wrapped vehicle to an automated brushless car wash, though hand washing is safer and more thorough. The high pressure drying systems could cause damage to your wrap, which is not covered under the workmanship warranty.
Brush car washes may be too rough on the film, degrading it and causing peeling and lifted edges.
Store Indoors or Under Cover Whenever Possible
Vinyl graphics (just like paint) are degraded by prolonged exposure to sun and atmospheric pollutants, particularly on the horizontal surfaces such as hood, trunk lid and roof. Whenever possible, store in a garage or at least in a shaded area.
When a garage is not available, consider using a cloth car cover at night. If your graphics start to discolor or turn brown, immediately remove the graphics from the vehicle to avoid staining the underlying paint.
