Step 1: Have Your Vehicle Inspected
The good news is that all the nitty-gritty details of preparing a vehicle for a vinyl wrap are left to the professionals. There are only a few things you need to do to ensure your car is wrapped properly.
It’s important to have your vehicle inspected before the wrapping process is started. A reputable wrap company will have their technicians thoroughly examine your car, truck, or van for rust, chips in the paint job, and other issues that could prevent a seamless vinyl wrap application.
If they detect anything that will complicate the wrap job, the technicians will explain what you need to do before wrapping your vehicle. If your wrap specialist gives you the all-clear, you can move to the next step: cleaning your car the day before your wrap appointment.
Step 2: Clean Your Vehicle
The best way to prep your vehicle for a vinyl wrapping appointment is to clean the exterior as best as you can. Dirt and grime are the number one culprit of a failed wrap job, so make sure you wash your car the day before the service appointment.
Follow these tips for giving your vehicle a proper cleaning:
- Wash the exterior of your car 24 hours before having the vehicle wrapped to ensure it has a sufficient amount of time to dry.
- You can drive your vehicle through a car wash or scrub it down yourself. Either way, you should hand-scrub all the hard-to-reach areas by hand, including under the hood, in the tire wells, and the seams of the panels, headlights, and taillights. No speck of dirt should be left behind.
- Use the “squeaky clean” test to determine if your car is clean enough for a wrap. Run your finger over the surface of your vehicle. If it makes a squeaking sound, it’s clean. If it doesn’t squeak, there’s still dirt present.
- Stay away from protectants like wax and polish leading up to your vehicle wrapping appointment. These protectants can interfere with the installation of the wrap.
Step 3: Call Your Vinyl Wrap Company
The prep work you need to complete to get your car ready for the application of vinyl wrapping is almost done. Give your wrap company a call leading up to the appointment and see if there’s anything else you can do to prep your car for the unique wrap job. By following their instructions, you can avoid longer service times, extra cleaning fees, and a failed wrapping job.
Step 4: Bring Your Car Into the Vinyl Wrap Shop
