FAQ
How soon after wrapping can I wash it?
Give a fresh wrap a few days before its first wash so the adhesive fully sets. After that, a gentle hand wash whenever it's dirty is perfect. Avoid pressure washing in that first week or so.
Can I wax a vehicle wrap?
You don't need to, and you should avoid any wax or polish with cutting agents or petroleum solvents, especially on a matte wrap. If you want extra protection, use a product made specifically for vinyl wraps. For most owners a regular gentle wash is all it takes.
Can a damaged section be repaired?
Often, yes. A lifted edge or a scuffed panel can usually be re-secured or that panel re-wrapped without redoing the whole vehicle. If you're rebranding or the old vinyl is past it, we can strip and re-wrap, see our guide on removing old sign writing from a vehicle . Call our Kent Town team and we'll take a look.
