Vehicle Wrap Maintenance

Your wrap needs regular cleaning and maintenance to maintain its color , finish, and prevent damage.

Below are some maintenance tips you can use on your vehicle wrap:

1. Washing

If your wrapped ride is a daily driver, ensure you wash your car wrap once a week, depending on its exposure to dirt and pollutants. When washing your car, always hand wash it to prevent scarring and scratching your vehicle wrap.

The detergent you use should also be mild and non-abrasive, Dawn is a good gentle choice. Additionally, use an automotive sponge or soft micro fiber cloth and rinse your vehicle with water after lightly scrub it down.

Using a pressure wash to clean your car is safe so long as the proper distance(24”+) and sprayer angle (30 degrees+) are used. Alternatively, go to automated brushless car washes as they can be more gentle and safer on your car wrap. Never use the pressure of the washer to remove the dirt, loosen the dirt by a gentle scrub down, and rinse clean.

The use of a brush car wash can cause your car wrap to degrade, scratch, and lift, degrading the vinyl before its time.

3. Difficult Contaminants

Bird stains or bug splatter that are hard to remove . In this case, soak the affected area with hot and soapy water for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly. If the containment is still visible, using a Spot Cleaner mixed with 40% Water 30% IPA 30% Vinegar. Always do a test spot before using on a visible area to ensure to harm to the wrap. Never leave a contaminant sit on the wrap for days, cleaning as soon as its noticed can save you time on cleaning and the wrap from permanent etching damage.

4. Store indoors

Vinyl wraps are like paint, and after prolonged exposure to sunlight, they can fade and degrade. Store your vehicle in a garage or in a shaded area whenever possible to avoid this.
