Car Wrap Maintenance


Congratulations! You finally got your car wrapped! The install took a while but the images line up perfectly and you're proud that your graphic looks WONDERFUL on your car. You pull out of the parking lot only to be caught behind a truck hauling dirt. Now the dirt hitting your freshly wrapped car. How will you clean it? What's the maintenance on car wraps?

Easy, here are the Dos and Don'ts of car wrap maintenance:

Do hand wash your car.
- Remember to avoid using ammonia and/or bleach based cleansers like Windex, 409, and etc.
- Use a mild liquid detergent and water solution to wash the graphic. You can slo use a soft brush, rag, or sponge to help clean some of the stuck on dirt.
-Try to avoid an unnecessary scrubbing, and you should be alright.


Do not go through an automatic car wash with brush systems. By going through an automatic car wash, some of the problems that might occur are:

· Brushes can catch a loose edge of the car wrap and cause more damage to the car and to the wrap.

· Brushes can dull or scratch the finish of the graphic.


Remember if you have questions about the material or maintenance, contact your installer or printer. Besides that have fun in your new wrapped car!!!!
