Investing in a custom vehicle wrap is an exciting step toward boosting your brand’s visibility. However, ensuring a smooth and successful wrap application requires preparation. Use this step-by-step checklist to avoid delays and maximize the quality and longevity of your vehicle’s vinyl wrap.
Step 1: Clean Your Vehicle Thoroughly
Wrap installers need a pristine surface for optimal adhesion. Follow these cleaning steps:
- Hand Wash: Use soap and water to remove dirt, grease, and road debris.
- Avoid Wax or Polish: Wax creates a barrier, making it harder for the wrap to adhere.
- Schedule a Pre-Wrap Detailing: Professional detailing ensures every nook and cranny is clean.
Step 2: Repair Surface Damage
- Inspect for scratches, dents, or rust.
- Fix imperfections to prevent bubbling or peeling during and after application.
- Ensure the paint is in good condition—wraps adhere best to factory paint.
Step 3: Remove Accessories
Remove items that might interfere with the wrapping process, such as:
- License plate frames
- Roof racks
- Mudflaps
- Antennas
