Wrap Care Instructions & Maintenance
Why Proper Wrap Care Matters
Your vehicle wrap represents your brand, so it's essential to keep it looking its best. By following these wrap care instructions and maintenance tips, you can ensure your wrap remains vibrant, protects your underlying paintwork, and lasts for years to come.
Cleaning Your Vehicle Wrap
Regular cleaning is crucial to maintain the pristine appearance of your wrap. Follow these steps to safely and effectively clean your vehicle:
1. Gather the Necessary Supplies
- Mild detergent or car-wash soap
- Two buckets - one for soapy water and one for rinsing
- Gentle microfiber sponge or cloth
- Hose or pressure washer (with a low-pressure setting)
- Non-abrasive sponge or soft-bristle brush for stubborn stains
- Soft towel or chamois for drying
- Automotive-approved wax (optional)
2. Rinse Your Vehicle
Before applying any cleaning solution, thoroughly rinse your vehicle with water to remove loose dirt and debris. This step will help prevent scratches during the cleaning process.
3. Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Mix a small amount of mild detergent or car-wash soap with water in one of the buckets. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the wrap.
4. Wash the Wrap
Using the soapy water and the microfiber sponge or cloth, gently wash the entire wrap surface. Work in small sections, starting from the top and moving downwards. Make sure to clean all areas, including crevices and edges.
5. Rinse Thoroughly
After washing, rinse your vehicle with clean water to remove any residue. Ensure that no soap or cleaning solution remains on the wrap surface.
6. Dry the Wrap
Use a soft towel or chamois to dry the vehicle, gently removing any remaining water droplets. Pat the surface, avoiding any aggressive rubbing that could damage the wrap.
7. Apply Automotive Wax (Optional)
If desired, you can apply a thin layer of automotive-approved wax to add an extra layer of protection and enhance the gloss of your wrap. Follow the instructions on the wax product for the best results.
Additional Wrap Care Tips
Here are some additional tips to ensure your vehicle wrap stays in optimal condition:
1. Avoid Harsh Conditions
Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a covered or shaded area to protect it from intense sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures. If you live in an area with harsh winters, be cautious of ice scrapers or snow brushes that may damage the wrap.
2. Protect from Chemicals
Avoid parking near or driving through areas that expose your vehicle to harsh chemicals such as gasoline, oil, or solvents. These substances can cause discoloration or damage to the wrap.
3. Mind the Pressure
When washing your vehicle wrap, always use a low-pressure setting on your hose or pressure washer. High-pressure water can lead to peeling or unsealing of the wrap edges.
4. Hand Washing is Best
While some carwashes may claim to be safe for wraps, it's still best to wash your wrap by hand. Automated car wash machines, especially those with brushes or aggressive scrubbing mechanisms, can potentially harm the wrap.
5. Regular Inspections
Perform periodic inspections of your wrap, looking for any signs of damage, loose edges, or bubbles. If you notice any issues, contact a professional wrap installer for proper repair or maintenance.
