Detail
Wraps come in all different shapes and sizes. Wraps start as a large sheet of adhesive backed vinyl film designed specifically for vehicle application made available in a variety of styles and finishes. Some wraps are a full color change in matte, satin or gloss finishes, as well as chrome, "carbon fiber" look, and beyond. Vehicle wraps can also consist of printed designs containing imagery , photos, graphics, or branded elements to represent a business or a group, or "accents" on a vehicle like trim, spoilers, hoods, roofs, and trunks. Truly, the possibilities are endless; recent advancements in vinyl production technology has also opened up the possibilites to textured vehicle wraps like leather, alligator, snake skin, or holographic and 3D films.
Every vehicle & and application is different, so price really depends on the scope of your vehicle wrap project. A complete wrap includes door jambs, inner door frames, and sills - this level of vehicle coverage is recommended for those who desire a full color change, and is obviously the most costly. Partial wraps without jambs, frames, and sills are cheaper, but ultimately will not have the same illusion as full coverage applications. All prices will vary depending on the vehicle type, surface complexity, and film used. For a more precise quote, contact us with more information regarding your wrap project.
No. The material used actually protects your paint-job from minor scratches. Unless there is previous damage or the car has been repainted, vehicle wraps protect paintwork against sun damage, minor abrasions and small stone chips. The vinyl can also be removed after a promotion, or vehicle turnover, leaving the original paintwork in the same condition it was before it was covered.
Wrap life span really depends on how well the film is cared for, how much day to day stress the wrap gets from road driving, and what quality of film was used to do the installation. Some films last longer than others, and the thicker they are the more damage they can take. We've wrapped vehicles that see plenty of road and track time, and their films have survived more than 5 years without needing parts re-installed or failing entirely.
Proper wrap care starts with the basics.Keeping your vehicle's surface clean is the primary concern, so frequent hand washing to eliminate surface contaminates is necessary if you want to keep your wrap from getting stained or damaged from road grime. For those of you with a gloss free exterior, we offer wrap waxing services for matte & satin films to help keep them protected as well as maintain a nice soft, flat finish.
We highly recommend NOT to pressure wash the vehicle after installation of the vinyl. Some pressure washers can potentially lift up the vinyl because of improper use of the water pressure. The wrap is an investment to your marketing and advertising strategy and thus it should be protected.
You can wash it just like you did before it was wrapped, but it is not recommended that you use wax. We recommend brushless car washes.

If the wrap is our primary focus, turn around time can be as short as a week or less depending on complexity. Stripes, graphics & accent pieces can typically be completed within 24-72 hours, but exterior wraps or full color changes with door jambs will take considerably longer.
