Maintaining Your Vehicle Wrap

Your vehicle wrap needs care just like the rest of your car. Regular cleaning and maintenance are key to keeping it vibrant and protected from pollutants. Here are some common questions about cleaning wraps:

How often should I clean it?

Ideally, wash your wrap once a week using gentle automotive detergents like 3M® Car Wash Soap 39000, or Meguiar’s NXT Generation® Car Wash or Deep Crystal® Car Wash. We also recommend 3M Quick Detailer Spray Wax or Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax. Rinse with clear water and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Can I go through a drive-through car wash?

Opt for brushless car washes or handwashing to avoid damage to the film.

What about spot cleaning?

For spot cleaning, use Simple Green or rubbing alcohol. Avoid tire dressing and wiping when the wrap is hot.

How do I deal with tough stains?

Act quickly and soak with warm, soapy water. Use denatured alcohol for stubborn stains, but always test on a small area first.

Can I pressure wash it?

Yes, but keep it under 2,000 psi and use a wide-angle spray pattern nozzle. Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the edges.

What about fuel spills?

Wipe off immediately and handwash. Avoid prolonged exposure to fuel.

Can I park it outside?

Try to park in shaded areas to prevent sun damage and exposure to pollutants.

What if it turns brown?

Brown spots on the wrap indicate exposure to acid and pollutants in the air, typically due to neglect in washing and maintenance. If you notice brown spots, it's advisable to remove the film and replace the affected wrap or section promptly.

What cleaning products should I avoid?

Never use solvents, oil-based cleaners, or kitchen and bathroom cleaners.

Keep your wrap clean and protected for lasting vibrancy!
