Congratulations on investing in a vinyl wrap for your vehicle! Whether it’s for branding purposes or simply to give your car a unique appearance, taking proper care of your vinyl wrap is essential to maintain its pristine look and protect your investment. Here’s our comprehensive guide on how to care for your vinyl-wrapped vehicle:
Things To Avoid
Avoid High-pressure Washing: While vinyl wraps are durable, high-pressure washing can damage the edges or lift the vinyl. If using a pressure washer, keep it at a safe distance and at low pressure.
Avoid Car Washes with Brushes: Automated car washes with stiff brushes can damage the vinyl wrap. Hand washing is preferable.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Extreme heat or cold can affect the vinyl’s adhesive. Avoid parking in direct sunlight for extended periods, especially in hot climates. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can fade the colors of the vinyl.
Regular Cleaning
Use Gentle Cleaning Solutions: Wash the vehicle regularly with a mild detergent and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the vinyl.
Hand Wash or Soft Cloth: Use a soft sponge or cloth to wash the vehicle. Avoid using brushes or abrasive materials that might scratch the vinyl.
Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, thoroughly rinse the vehicle to remove all soap residues.
Drying Techniques:
Pat Dry or Air Dry: After washing, pat dry the vehicle with a clean, soft cloth or allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the vinyl.
Careful Maintenance:
Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect the vinyl for any signs of damage, lifting, or edges coming off. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage.
Handle with Care: Be cautious around the vinyl wrap to avoid scratching it against rough surfaces or sharp objects.
Professional Touch-Ups: Consider professional maintenance and touch-ups for your vinyl wrap to keep it in optimal condition. Professional installers can help address any issues and maintain the vinyl’s appearance.
By following these care tips, you can help preserve the appearance and durability of the vinyl wrap on your vehicle, keeping it looking vibrant and attractive for years to come.
