How To Take Care of Your Car Wrap so it Lasts Longer

Vinyl is softer than paint, so small damage can occur faster.

Don’t wait for problems, but take the initiative. Protect her from danger. Provide her with the best. And be gentle to her.

How to wash your car wrap?

We recommend washing your wrapped vehicle more often than normal. To prevent contaminants from staying long on the vinyl. As the material is more prone to staining.

Automated car wash

This is an option. But there is a lot of debate on whether to do this. The high pressure water and the fast brushes can easily damage the wrap by pulling off small parts.

Hand wash

A gentle handwash is by far the best option.

Rinse your car with water. Use for example the two bucket method. One bucket for suds, which is your clean bucket. Clean it with a non-aggressive soap. We have excellent options in our web shop. And one bucket to rinse off the sponge right after touching the car before it goes back into the suds bucket.

Finish cleaning with a microfiber cloth and your vehicle will look amazing.

Extra protection option for your car wrap

Liquid Wax

You can use wax in your soap or rinsing solution on your vinyl wrap. It will protect your wrap during washing. But wax is not durable. As soon as that coat starts to wear off, contaminants start attacking that vinyl.

Ceramic Coating

To protect your wrap from surface scratches and acids through bird drop, tree sap, and more, we advise you use a ceramic coating.

A ceramic coating infuses the vinyl and bonds permanently. Your wrap will be shielded from road contaminants. The vinyl will be much more tolerant of UV rays. It offers an extra protection against surface scratches and makes the wrap much easier to keep clean.

How to treat your car wrap day to day

During the day, protect the wrap by placing your car in the shade. The heating of the sun is very harsh on vinyl

At night, if possible, put your car inside. This will protect extra against dew, acidic city rain, snow etc.

When taking care of a car wrap at home, do not use any abrasive polishes or cutting compounds. Always be gentle and careful. And whenever you can, give your wrap some loving words. A nice compliment from time to time will do miracles.
