How To Prepare Your Vehicle for a Vinyl Wrap?
Wash With Mild Detergent and Water
We ask our customers to thoroughly wash their vehicles with mild detergent and water the day before or at least several hours before dropping it off. It's important that all parts are completely dry prior to installation, including under-body molding, wheel wells and seams.
To ensure the best adhesion, we also re-clean all surfaces that will be wrapped once more prior to installation. This process ensures all hints of dirt, wax and tar have been removed.
DON'T Use Wax!
Wondering if a good wax job will help with a vinyl wrap? Believe us when we say "IT WON'T!" Wax makes the surface very slippery, and vinyl doesn't want to stick or stay adhered to slick surfaces.
Rust and Other Issues
We prefer to see vehicles before they're dropped off for installation, but sometimes that's just not an option. So, it's important to let us know about any spots that might have rust, peeling paint or other issues. If possible, have those areas repaired prior to installing a wrap. If you would like us to take a look at your vehicle, bring it by our shop or send us photos at hello@12psw.com. We would be happy to provide recommendations.
