Vehicle wrapping
COMMON QUESTIONS.
Below are just a few of the most common questions.
Vehicle wraps consist of vinyl wrapping material that utilises adhesive backing to adhere to the surface of your vehicle. This vinyl can come in various colors, prints, and styles, offering versatility in customisation. Whether it's cars, vans, trucks, or even boats, these wraps can be applied to nearly any type of vehicle.
There are two main types of wraps: full wraps and partial wraps.
F ull wraps cover the entire vehicle, while partial wraps cover a percentage ranging from 50% to 75%, depending on the customer's preferences and budget. Vehicle wraps serve multiple purposes. They can be utilized for stylistic enhancements or as a marketing tool for promoting businesses. Promotional wraps often feature a business logo, contact information, images, and other branding elements. To safeguard against sun damage, these wraps are typically coated with a protective UV laminate. On the other hand, consumer wraps are designed to create a visually impactful effect, making a bold statement to captivate viewers. These wraps are primarily used for aesthetic purposes rather than for commercial advertising.

So the short answer here is NO. Vinyl needs a smooth solid flake free surface to stick to. The process of application would also be impossible if the paintwork or lacquer isn't in good condition, as during the application process we may need to apply and lift and reapply the vinyl.

Vehicle wraps when looked after correctly and with proper maintenance, will last up to five to seven years depending on the brand, colour and finish of the product.
When installed, applied, and removed correctly by a skilled professional, a vehicle wrap should not cause any harm to your paintwork. In fact, it may even contribute to extending the lifespan of your vehicle's paint by reducing its exposure to damaging UV rays. Moreover, a well-fitted wrap should not lead to water damage or initiate any rusting on the vehicle's body.
While wraps cannot provide complete protection against chips, swirling, scrapes, or road accidents, they do offer some defense against gradual wear and tear. Vinyl wraps can help prevent paint cracking, weather-related damage, and safeguard your vehicle from harmful UV rays. Although they cannot prevent all forms of damage, they contribute to the overall preservation of your vehicle's appearance over time.
When a vehicle wrap is applied correctly by a professional wrapping service, it should be relatively easy and quick to remove without leaving any residue or causing peeling. However, it is important to adhere to the recommended timeframe for removal and replacement. If a wrap is left on for an extended period beyond the 5-year guarantee, it may become more challenging to remove.
For the most efficient and hassle-free removal, it is advisable to seek professional assistance. While removing a wrap is generally a straightforward process, it can occasionally be more intricate than anticipated. If you have any doubts or uncertainties, it is recommended to consult with one of our advisors who can guide you through the process and help you book your vehicle wrap removal.

To ensure that your vehicle wrap maintains its optimal appearance, regular maintenance is necessary. This may require adjustments to your vehicle washing routine.
Dirt accumulation, particularly from bird droppings, can gradually corrode the vinyl wrap. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your vehicle wrap clean.
t is recommended to wash your vehicle wrap at least once a week, or more frequently if your car is exposed to significant amounts of dirt.
However, it is important to avoid taking your vehicle through a car wash, as the bristles used in the washing process can potentially damage the vinyl. Instead, it is advisable to gently wash your wrap using a sponge or soft cloth along with a mild detergent. After washing, be sure to thoroughly dry the wrap to prevent any potential rusting issues.
