Why do most businesses utilize vehicle wraps?  Because they work.  People see them.  People notice them.  The brand is emphasized.  The market becomes more aware of the product, the service, the brand.  It works. Do you have a personal brand?  Do you want to make a unique statement?  Do you want to trim out your vehicle so that it is yours, really yours, and doesn’t just look like any other of the very same make and model that rolled off of the assembly line? A personal automobile or truck wrap will give you that customized, one-of-a-kind look. And it isn’t just for cars or trucks.  Trailers, mobile homes – heck even planes and boats get the treatment.  Tanker trucks, concrete trucks, ATVs and golf carts can all be wrapped. And one of the cool things about vehicle wraps?  You can change it if you don’t like it later or you want to try something different yet again. You can sit down and talk to the designer and decide just how you want your personal vehicle wrap customized.  They are long-lasting, easy to care for and essentially protect the underlying paint. But it doesn’t have to break the bank. Personal vehicle wraps can be a simple, one color wrap or you can go for a more complex design requiring multiple layers or colors or additional graphic layovers.   Got a favorite NASCAR driver?  You can promote your favorite driver by emulating his or her car.  Put racing stripes or customized decals over your car – either a wrap or the original paint. Depending upon the product chosen the vinyl manufacturers will warranty their products up to 7 years when applied by a certified wrap technician.  If you care for the wrap properly, it will last a long time and look great. Here are a few dos and don’ts:

• Don’t power wash the vehicle (of course, you shouldn’t power wash your vehicle at any rate; though many do)
• Don’t use car washes that have brushes and heavy contact on the vehicle
• Don’t let dirt and grime, and (up North) salt build up on the car
• Do wash your car or truck regularly – just like you should if you didn’t have a wrap
• Do wash with a sponge or soft cloth using mild detergents like a dish soap or those made specifically for vehicles
• Do soak the car first a couple of times to remove as much dirt as possible; so that when you finally do use the sponge or cloth, you are not “sandpapering” the car with tiny dirt particles that you could have easily rinsed off first
• If you live in areas where ice can form on a vehicle, just don’t use an ice scraper on the wrap itself – keep the scraper on the glass

A lot of it is really taking care of the wrap just as you’d normally take care of the paint on a car. If you want to customize the look of your car or truck, give us a holler.  We’ll be glad to provide a free consult and estimate.
