    What to use on vehicles with wraps

    What are the best products to use when a vehicle has been wrapped with graphics?

    Thanks for any help with this.

    While I've never done one I suspect the wraps are soft so a rinseless wash, dry, then a spray wax might work well for you..

    Did you talk with the wrap manufacturer? They probably know what is best for their product. Let us know.

    Your normal car care products are fine( car shampoo/soap, wash mitt, drying towels) and safest protectant would be a spray wax, like Bobby G said..

    To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
    While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.

    I have some matte vinyl on my car, wash like i normally would anything, if its not matte but gloss vinyl you can use a pure chemical cleaner if you want to. You can wax or use sealant as you normally would on it, just take care on the edges as it tends to collect wax/sealant. When buff just buff around the edges and that will take care of it, and a q-tip works great for some areas that are still not buffing away.

    Good point Ank! UPGP is a great WOWA sealant I use on clear bras for this reason.

    Re: What to use on vehicles with wraps

    have done lots of them on fishing boats. Wash just like a car then I use a spray wax on top.Dry with a blower .stay away from the seams and I take pics if any are bad .before I start the job.They can be fixed but I call the wrap guy in and have him do it then just mark it up 20%
