Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about cleaning vehicle wraps.

How often should I clean my car vinyl wrap?

If your vehicle is exposed to a lot of dirt or contaminants, clean your wrap once a week or more often. You should hand wash using car wash soap or liquid or car wash liquid. If necessary, you can use another mild car cleaner - any good brand will work. Always use a nice car sponge or a clean soft cloth to wash your wrap. Rinse the vehicle with clean water after cleaning. Use a silicone scraper or chamois to remove moisture and minimize water stains. Wipe dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Can I take my wrapped car into a drive-thru car wash?

You can take your wrapped vehicle to an automatic brushless car wash, although hand washing is safer and more thorough. Brushing the car may be too rough on the wrap, degrading it and causing peeling and edge lifting. If the car wash uses water spray and no brushes, it should be safe for most wraps.

How do you clean bird droppings, insects, tree sap, or other tough stains?

Remove bird droppings and tough stains instantly. Leaving them for too long will make them harder to remove and may permanently damage the wrapping. Soak the affected area in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to loosen contaminants. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth. For stubborn stains, use denatured alcohol, Citrus-based Cleaner, Gold Class Bug and Stain Remover, or two parts isopropyl alcohol to one part water. Always test these solutions on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure the cleaner does not damage the wrapping. Do not use solvents or oil-based cleaning products!

What should I use for spot cleaning?

Use Simple Green or isopropyl rubbing alcohol to clean isolation stains. Rinse the area with cold water after cleaning. Do not use tire dressing for spot cleaning as it may splash onto the wrapping and cause stains. Avoid wiping the wrap while it is hot; this can deform the material and cause wrinkling.

Can I pressure wash my vehicle wrap?

If you want to pressure wash your car vinyl wrap, keep it below 2,000 psi. Use a nozzle with a 40-degree wide-angle spray pattern and keep the water temperature below 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the edge of the car.

How should I deal with a gas or fuel leak?

Wipe up any fuel spills immediately and hand wash the affected area. Allowing spills to sit in the wrapping for too long can reduce the performance of the vinyl. A quick wipe with a wet wipe at the gas station will go a long way in cleaning the fuel-affected area until you can go home and do a more thorough job.

Can I park my car outdoors for an extended period of time?

Excessive time spent in the sun or other outdoor elements (rain, smoke, debris and road contaminants from passing vehicles) can degrade the wrap on the roof, trunk lid and hood. These horizontal areas are magnets for contaminants, which are exacerbated by UV exposure. Try to park in a garage or under a tree canopy or shelter. If you must park it outside for an extended period of time, look for a shady parking area.

My car vinyl wrap has turned brown or rust colored. what do I do?

Wraps can turn brown due to prolonged exposure to acids from airborne pollutants. This is usually caused by negligence and failure to follow the above procedures. If you notice brown, discolored or rust-colored areas on the wrap, it's a good idea to remove the wrap from the vehicle to prevent damage to the paint underneath and reapply new wrap. Usually only the affected panels need to be replaced.
