HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WASH MY VEHICLE?

• Wait 48 hours after installation to wash your vehicle.

• Wash your wrap once a week or more often if your vehicle is exposed to a lot of dirt or pollutants. You should hand wash it using 3M® Car Wash Soap 39000, or Meguiar’s NXT Generation® Car Wash or Deep Crystal® Car Wash. At Wrap Works Orange County, we also recommend 3M Quick Detailer Spray Wax or Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax.

• Always use a nice automotive sponge or clean, soft cloth to wash your wrap. Rinse vehicle with clear water after washing. Minimize water spotting by using a silicone squeegee or chamois to remove water. Dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

​

CAN I TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO A DRIVE-THROUGH CAR WASH?

• You can bring your vehicle to an automated brushless car wash, though hand washing is safer and more thorough. Brush car washes may be too rough on the film, degrading it and causing peeling and lifted edges. If a car wash uses water spray and no brushes, it should be safe for most wraps.

​

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT GAS OR FUEL SPILLS?

• Wipe off fuel spills immediately, then hand wash the affected area. Letting the spill stay the wrap too long will degrade the vinyl. A quick wipe with a wet paper towel at a gas station will clean the fuel affected area decently enough until you can get home to do a more through job.

​

WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD I AVOID WHEN CLEANING MY VEHICLE?

Never, EVER use any of the following cleaning products on your vehicle:

• Solvents

• Oil based cleaners

• Kitchen & Bathroom Cleaners

• Oven cleaner

• Orange Oil

• Engine Degreaser​

​

Imperfections: We strive for perfection on all our installations. Dust, dirt, lint or other contamination can be hard to see during installation. We thoroughly clean all car panels before film is applied. Pre-existing flaws or scratches and metal deposits on paint are often more noticeable after ppf is installed.

​

Fuel Spills: Wipe off immediately to avoid degrading the vinyl and adhesive. Wash, rinse and dry as soon as possible
