How to Protect Your Car Wrap from Fading or Peeling

Your vinyl wrap is one of the most important marketing tools you have. You can advertise your brand simply by driving around the community. People may see your wrap and note it for later. If the design is truly great, a person may take pictures and post them on social media. But if you don’t care for your wrap, you may destroy your goals within a few months of installing it. How can you keep your wrap in good shape and avoid fading or peeling?

Park in the Shade

Some people leave books, papers, toys, and other items in their car for weeks or months at a time. With enough exposure to the sun, these possessions may lose their coloring and fade beyond usability. The same thing can happen to the wrap on your car. Make sure to park in shaded areas when possible – under trees and beside buildings are good spots to use. However, no matter how careful you want to be about the wrap, don’t park illegally or compromise safety – it’s not worth it.

Don’t Scrub Too Hard

Every car gets dirty. No matter where you live, dust and dirt finds a way to stick to your mode of transportation. How do you clean anything without damaging the vinyl wrap? Consider going to a car wash. You save yourself time and eliminate stress when you use this option. Choose an automated car wash that doesn’t use brushes. If you don’t like to use car washes, wash your car by hand. This ensures a gentler cleaning. Don’t be too aggressive or you might cause the wrap to peel.

Go With Your Gut

In the end, it’s important to go with your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. Read labels, know your surroundings and pay attention. You can keep your wrap looking fresh, clean, and ready for discovery when you go with what you feel is best.
