How to care for your wrapped vehicles

Vinyl wraps can offer your business a plethora of advertising potential for one low price. They can even protect the integrity of your vehicle’s paint job by preventing fading and staining.

However, you still have a responsibility to care for your vinyl-wrapped vehicles. Then you can be sure the vibrant colours of the wrap designs will stay intact for a long time to come. Here are some tips on how to care for your wrapped vehicles…

Handwashing is Better

The best piece of advice is to handwash your wrapped vehicles. Don’t attempt to use a drive-through car wash because their brushes will be too aggressive against the vinyl material. No pressure washing either.

Use a bucket of warm water mixed with a mild detergent formulated for automobiles. Dip a microfibre cloth into the liquid solution and use it to hand wash your wraps. Make simple wiping gestures without applying too much pressure.

Wash Once Per Week

You don’t need to wash your wrapped vehicles every day unless you operate your vehicle in a dirty environment.

Washing your wrapped vehicles once per week should be good enough.

Park Your Wrapped Vehicles Indoors

Don’t park your wrapped vehicles outside for extended periods. If you want to reduce their exposure to debris, smog, rain, pollutants, and other outdoor elements, then park your wrapped vehicles inside if you have indoor space available.

A garage is the best place to park your wrapped vehicles. But if you don’t have enough garage space, you could park your vehicles underneath a canopy instead.

Do you need advice on how to care for your wrapped vehicles? Boss Dog has a crew of vinyl wrap maintenance professionals who can advise you on how to proceed with cleaning and caring for your wraps.

We used BossDog through recommendation to supply and fit 36 vans for our client Wilcomatic. This project ran over an 8 week period to fit in with our clients timetable to ensure each batch of vans were branded as they arrived on site. The Boss Dog team were prompt, courteous and extremely professional in managing the project from start to finish. My client was very happy with the work done and as such we received praise from their MD for the job done. I will be using BossDog for all our livery work in the future and i am personally very happy to recommend them to any company on their livery requirements
