🧼 Wrap Care & Maintenance

Q: How long will my wrap last?
A: A quality vinyl wrap usually lasts 3–5 years, depending on daily use, exposure to weather, and maintenance. Horizontal surfaces like hoods and roofs typically wear faster and may need replacing in 1–3 years.

Q: How do I care for my vinyl wrap?
A:

Do not wash the vehicle for 48 hours after installation.
Hand wash every 2 weeks using mild soap and water.
Use isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth to spot-clean tough stains.
Avoid automatic car washes with brushes.
Do not use abrasive or petroleum-based cleaning products.

Q: Can I wax a wrapped vehicle?
A: Yes, but only with waxes that do not contain petroleum distillates (often found in paste waxes). Use vinyl-safe products only.

Q: Can I power wash my wrapped vehicle?
A: Yes, but be cautious. Keep the pressure low and the nozzle at a distance. Avoid spraying directly at seams or edges, as high-pressure water can lift the vinyl. We recommend a PSI of under 2000.

Q: What if I spill fuel on the vinyl?
A: Wipe it off immediately with a damp paper towel. If fuel is left on the vinyl, it may cause degradation. Hand wash the area afterward to prevent damage.

Q: Will removing the wrap damage my paint?
