Q. Will the wrap affect the paint?
A. In most cases the wrap will not affect the paint. However, you should be aware
that there is no way of knowing how well the paint has been applied and
therefore it, or the clear coat, may come off when the wrap is removed. It is best
to understand that there is "always" the chance that the paint may be removed
when the wrap is removed.
Q. Can I or should I wax the car after it has been wrapped?
A. Yes, you can wax the car after a wrap has been installed. You will want to use a
wax which will not react with the vinyl. Make sure to check the information on
the wax you are using.
Q. How do I maintain my wrap?
A. In order to increase the life of your wrap and keep it looking "like new" we recommend the following
• If possible, when you are not driving your vehicle store it indoors. This will reduce exposure to the sun's UV rays along with dirt and scratches. Also avoid parking under trees, in direct sun or
where birds like to hang out.
• Wash your vehicle on a regular basis. DO NOT use a car wash with brushes as this may damage your vinyl. You should hand wash your vehicle with mild soap and a sponge. If you choose to use a pressure washer avoid direct "hard" pressure.
• Wax your vehicle every few months. Do not use a buffer as this may damage the wrap.
Q. How long can I expect my wrap to last?
A. The vinyl used in most wraps is a "3-5" year vinyl. However, it depends on the
condition of the vehicle, the surface it is applied to along with how well the
owner cares for the vehicle. Sun, rain, snow etc... affect the lifespan of any
material.
Q. How much does a wrap cost?
A. It varies depending on the project. Please contact us so we can discuss your
project and provide a more accurate quote.
Q. Can I install the wrap myself?
A. Yes you can, however, it may be worth your time and aggravation to have a
professional install it. We would gladly supply the vinyl for you. Please
contact us for details.
