.

Does vehicle wrapping cause damage?

Applying a vehicle wrap to your vehicle will not damage your paintwork, it actually acts as a protective film. However if the paintwork on your vehicle previously has stone chips or abrasions before the wrap, this could cause paintwork to be pulled off when the wrap is removed. This is the reason we ask that any stone chips, abrasions or rust patches are repaired before the vehicle wrap can be completed.

Also if your vehicle has recently been painted or paint repaired in places, if the vehicle is wrapped too early, this can cause the new paint to be pulled off when the vehicle wrap is removed.

Does the vehicle need prepping before wrapping?

Yes, we ask that all vehicles are cleaned and free from dust and dirt before we can complete a vehicle wrap. Also if your vehicle has been recently polished or waxed this would cause the wrap material to not stick, so we ask that this is all washed off.

.

Is it easy to remove a vehicle wrap?

A vehicle wrap is made to withstand a range of weather types for a certain amount of years, which means the longer the wrap is on the vehicle, the harder it may be to remove the wrap.

How long will a vehicle wrap last?

The life of a vehicle wrap is determined by the condition of the vehicle, the wrap material and also the up keep of the vehicle wrap. The typical life of a vehicle wrap can be up to five years.

Who do I need to advise about my vehicle wrap?

How do I wash my vehicle when it’s been wrapped?

When your vehicle has been wrapped it is best to hand wash your vehicle. You can also use a jet wash, but would need to keep a fair distance from the vehicle to ensure the power from the jet wash doesn’t damage the wrap. There is also specialised cleaners that we stock for cleaning wrap materials, as you must be aware of the chemicals you use.
