Proper Care for Your Vehicle Wrap

It is recommended that you care for your vehicle graphics like you would any fine paint finish. By using high quality products designed specifically for car care and following these cleaning and maintenance procedures you will keep your vehicle graphics looking their best.

Wash Regularly

• Wash whenever the car appears dirty. Contaminants allowed to remain on the graphic may be more difficult to remove during cleaning.
• Rinse off as much dirt and grit as possible with a spray of water.
• Use a wet, non-abrasive detergent such as 3M™ Car Wash Soap 39000 or Meguiar’s NXTGeneration®Car Wash or Deep Crystal® Car Wash.
• Wash with a soft, clean cloth or sponge.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To reduce water spotting, immediately use a silicone squeegee to remove water and finish drying with a clean microfiber cloth.
• It is not recommend to use wax or other similar coatings on vehicle graphics.

Automated Car Washes

• Vinyl wraps may be run through car washes.
• Touch less car washes are the best for vinyl graphic care.
• Use of brush car washes (depending upon the frequency and quality of brush) may cause dulling/scratching/edge lifting of the graphics.

Pressure Washing

Although hand washing is the preferred cleaning method, pressure washing may be used under these specific conditions.

• Ensure the water pressure is kept below 2000 psi (14 MPa).
• Keep water temperature below 180 °F (80 °C).
• Use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide angle spray pattern.
• Keep the nozzle at least 1 foot (300 mm) away from and perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the vinyl graphic.
• Holding the nozzle of a pressure washer at an angle to graphics may lift the edges of the film.

Difficult Contaminants

Soften difficult contaminants such as bug splatter, bird droppings, tree sap and similar contaminants by soaking them for several minutes with very hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If further cleaning is needed, test one of these products in an inconspicuous area to ensure no damage will result to the graphics: Meguiar’s Gold Class™ Bug and Tar Remover or 3M™ Citrus Base Cleaner. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (two parts IPA to 1 part water) or denatured alcohol may also help. Spot clean the contaminants. Do not use rough scrubbing or abrasive tools, which will scratch the film. Wash and rinse off all residue immediately.

Fuel Spills

Wipe off any fuel spills immediately to avoid degrading the vinyl and adhesive. Then wash, rinse and dry as in "Wash Regularly" section above.

Film Restoration

The following restoration recommendations will help keep your vehicle wraps looking their best.

• Do no use any abrasive polishes or cutting compounds.
• Do not use any polishing or wax products on matte or textured films.
• If there is wax or a waxy residue on the surface, remove with an all-purpose cleaner.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Based on the type and degree of contamination, use one of more of these solutions, in the order shown, to remove any build-up:

• Hot, soapy water solution
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water (ratio 2:1)
• Simple Green® All-Purpose Cleaner
• Household chlorine bleach; followed by IPA/water (#2)
• Mineral spirits; followed by IPA/water (#2)

Do not allow the cleaning solution to soak in to the vinyl and immediately rinse with clean, clear water.

Store Indoors or Under Cover Whenever Possible

Vinyl graphics (just like paint) are degraded by prolonged exposure to the sun and atmospheric pollutants, particularly on the horizontal surfaces such as hood, trunk lid and roof. Whenever possible, store in a garage or at least in a shaded area during the day. At night protect the car from dew or rain, which may contain acidic pollutants (a common problem in many large metropolitan areas). When a garage is not available, consider using a cloth car cover at night. If your graphics start to discolor or turn brown, immediately have the graphics removed from the vehicle to avoid staining the underlying paint.
