Washing
Hand wash with a gentle soap and soft mitts. Avoid automatic brush washes and high-pressure spray close to the edges, because they can lift the film.
Drying and protecting
Dry with a clean microfiber towel. A wrap-safe sealant or a ceramic spray made for vinyl adds protection against sun and stains. Do not wax a matte or satin wrap.
Parking and the sun
Sun and heat are the main enemies of film. Park in the shade or a garage when you can, and wash off bird droppings, bug acid and tree sap promptly.
What to avoid
Avoid harsh chemicals, strong solvents and abrasive polishes. If an edge lifts, call us early, because a small lift is easy to fix and a large one is not.
