Wraps are not as easy as “Set it and forget it”. Just as you care for the rest of your vehicle, your wrap requires regular cleaning and maintenance. This will assist in a longer-lasting and color retaining product. Please wash your wrap on a REGULAR basis and keep your vehicle away from possible pollutants. This will help with the longevity of your product. Please stay away from harsh solutions like heavy degreaser and bleaches.
How often should I wash my wrap?
Wash your wrap once a week or more often if your vehicle is exposed to a lot of dirt or pollutants. You should HAND WASH using approved wrap washes or products like Meguiar’s NXT Generation® Car Wash or Deep Crystal® Car Wash. You can also use other gentle automotive soaps if needed . Always use a soft and clean sponge to care for your wrap. Rinse the vehicle clear water after washing. Use a CLEAN Dry microfiber cloth to finish the job.
Can I Pressure Wash my Vehicle Wrap?
While we don’t suggest any aggressive pressure washing tools. If you want to pressure wash your vehicle wrap… BE SURE TO keep it below 2,000 psi. Use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide angle spray pattern and keep water temperature below 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the spray nozzle at more than 12 inches away from the car edges.
Can I Park my Vehicle Outdoors for Long Periods?
Excessive amounts of time under the sun or other outdoor elements (rain, smog, debris, and road pollutants from passing cars) can degrade the wrap and decrease its overall lifespan. The horizontal areas of the vehicle are a magnet for pollutants, which are intensified by UV ray exposure. Try your best to park your car in a garage or under a canopy or shelter. If you must park it outside for prolonged periods, look for shady parking areas. Be sure to clean the vehicle as often as you can to remove contaminants.
