Customize your car:

People have been personalizing and customizing their cars for, well, as long as there have been cars—and one of the newest and coolest ways is with vinyl wrapping. If you’re already thinking about how your vehicle will be transformed when you shrink-wrap it in an entirely new color, then the next step is understanding what that might cost—and whether the price is worth it.

That’s where we can help. Vinyl wraps have some distinct advantages over repainting your vehicle, and also a couple of disadvantages worth considering. Here’s what you need to know about wrapping your car—including how much it costs.

FAQs:

• Caring for Vinyl Films
  • You would want to care for your vinyl wrap on the vehicle the same way as for your car paint. Hand washing is always the best and safest choice! Only touchless car washes are recommended. Car washes that have the rotating brushes may lift and remove the vinyl! For best cleaning and maintaining of the finish as well as protecting against fading we recommend using our wrap care products.

• Hand Washing Vehicle Wraps
  • Flush the wrap with water to remove loose dirt particles.
  • Use a mild liquid detergent and water mix to wash the wrap with a soft brush, sponge or rag.
    1. wash going from top to bottom
    2. only scrub if absolutely necessary

       wrap to wash away dirt particles
  • Rinse the entire vinyl wrap thoroughly with clean water.
  • Dry with rags or for Gloss vinyl wraps it may not be necessary.

• How long does the vinyl wrap films last?
  •  This is a tricky question, because there are a lot of factors especially once it is installed. The vinyl films themselves will last anywhere from 3 to 7 years depending on the environment. Generally the stronger the sun and the more your car is outside under the sun the less the vinyl will keep it’s color brightness and may start to fail or crack sooner. If you live in Southern United States like California, Florida, Texas, etc. your vinyl film will last about 20-30% less due to the strength of the sun. This is true for all vinyl films no matter of the manufacturer. This is also true for paint. Colors that have a high content of red pigment will last the least as red pigments fade the quickest from all colors. These colors are Red, Purple, Yellow, Pink, Copper.

• Is a vinyl car wrap permanent?
  • No, the vinyl films we sell have a non-permanent adhesive that makes the vinyl wrap removable. A wrap typically last for 3-7 years depending on the style of material used, conditions in which the car is driven, how much it is driven and where it’s stored; the amount & strength of sun it gets. The vinyl wrap film can be removed without damaging the paint, returning the car to its original color and condition. You may get some glue residue after removal, but that can easily be removed with a glue remover (rubbing alcohol) or simply rubbing it off with your finger. Normally a vinyl wrap should be removed after 7 years as it can may damage the clear-coat and even the paint if left on for longer.
