How to Protect a Vinyl Wrap

A vinyl car wrap is the ultimate way to makeover a vehicle. Gone are the days when the only way to change a car’s appearance was a full-on respray. Today, you can have a completely new look in the blink of an eye.

‍

(OK, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but you get the gist).

‍

Not only can you alter the look of your ride overnight, but the changes you can make are only limited by your imagination.

‍

Fancy a car that looks like it’s covered in crushed velvet? You got it. Hot pink, tiger stripes, or a bespoke racing/sponsorship pattern? The world is, as the saying goes, your oyster…

‍

Once done, you’re gonna want to ensure that the new look remains pristine. The following looks at the two different ways to do this (AKA the hard way and the easy way).

The painstaking way to protect vinyl car wrap

‍

Let’s first look at a very valid, but extremely time-consuming, way to protect your beautiful new vinyl wrap. While the product itself will have some self-cleaning properties, it still requires regular maintenance.

‍

This includes washing and drying the entire surface, much in the same way that you would a regular vehicle. You should be careful not to use any abrasive products. Instead, use a gentle, chemical-free car shampoo with microfiber cloths to remove any dirt. Once the car is clean, carefully dry it thoroughly, to prevent any sun or heat damage.

‍

The do-not’s of looking after a vinyl wrap include:

‍

• Do not take it through a brush car wash
• Do not use a pressure washer
• Do not use any harsh shampoos or cleaning detergents
• Do not use the car exposed to excessive heat when wet (if possible)
• Do not scrub at any hard-to-remove contaminants. Instead, gently soak them for 10 minutes or so to facilitate easy removal

The ultimate (and easiest) way to protect vinyl car wrap

‍

Ready to discover a far better and less time-consuming way to protect your vinyl car wrap?

‍

Have a ceramic coating installed. Yep, you read that right. The technology is perfect for the two to be used together. Indeed, ceramic coating can be considered the perfect complementary treatment for a vinyl wrap.

‍

The product provides a super-hard layer over the top of the wrap, protecting it from the elements. This brings a multitude of advantages, including:

‍

• UV rays can’t penetrate and cause the vinyl wrap to degrade
• No chemicals will touch the wrap, such as bird droppings, acid rain, salt, etc.
• The wrap cannot peel
• The colors remain pure and vibrant
• Cleaning becomes far easier. You can even take it through a wash or use a pressure washer if you so desire
• Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic. This means that any water simply beads and rolls away. Therefore cleaning the car becomes less time-intensive and it remains looking pristine for longer.

‍

Plus—and this is one aspect that people love about ceramic coating—the properties of the technology enhance the colors beneath it, making the wrap shine and gleam in a way that will take your breath away.
