How to Clean a Car Wrap

The best way to clean a car wrap is by hand washing it with water and a mild detergent, using only soft cloths and sponges. Before washing the car, it is important to ensure that the detergent does not contain any abrasive components, alcohols, or solvents. When washing the vehicle wrap, first rinse the car with clean water and then start at the top of the vehicle and work your way down. Be careful not to scrub the surface too hard or to accidentally lift the edges of the wrap’s film. While using an automatic touchless car wash in Seattle is also acceptable, it is important to avoid car washes that use waxes that contain petroleum distillate, as this can cause damage to the vinyl wrap.

The Benefits of Proper Vehicle Wrap Maintenance

Proper vehicle wrap maintenance will not only help enhance the overall look of the car but also prolong the life of the graphic images on the wrap. Maintenance is especially important in congested areas throughout Seattle where damage to the car wrap is more likely to occur. Congested areas can also mean increased pollution or smog, which can lower the resiliency of a wrap and allow for increased UV exposure.
