As with any car, whether it is covered with an adhesive vinyl or not, regular maintenance helps preserve its appearance longer and spot damage to its surface.
Auto wraps used to cover chrome parts of a vehicle can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to remove accumulated dirt and grease. However, it is recommended not to wash the car with a high pressure jet.
It is also advisable to immediately replace the damaged car wrap to avoid the appearance of rust under the film, and not to scratch or rub the vinyl with sharp objects. Although our film is equipped with self-healing technology, it is not immune to the elements of the road.
