Care of Vinyl Wrapped Car
To the detailing guru's out there.
I have my car vinyl wrapped (check my signature) and want to make sure I am taking proper care of it, what do I do? I hand wash it and what not but i have seen some swirls on it come up and was wondering what wax's and sealants can I use to help protect it? |

In my opinion, maintenance is actually quite simple with a vinyl wrap. With a vinyl wrap, a simple car soap solution and water will wash away all dirt and water spots that will occur with normal driving use.

I wrapped my car in gloss black a couple weeks after I drove it off the lot and I always polished it with Maguires liquid wax without a problem. You should be able to do that on yours without any problems.
I re wrapped it in matte black 3 weeks ago and on this I only use a quick detailing spray as I am scared to damage it if I wax it like I did on the gloss black vinyl. |

liquid ice works like a champ.
edit: know anybody that can wrap in matte orange in the san diego area? i sent an email to a company, but the website only shows black/matte black.

I'll definitely have to try it because I used a quick detail spray on the hood this past weekend and it stained it so I have to redo my hood I am in Orange County and I have driven all the way to Arizona/ Vegas just to do a wrap so driving to San Diego is only a stones throw away. Shoot me a PM or text me 951 623 3140 and I can help you wrap it |
