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.

I found BossDog after searching on Yell.com and from the very start found them to be very accommodating. They turned around several designs for me within a very short period of time, each time I sent them back with small amendments a new design was back to me within an hour or two. I was very impressed with the artwork, the response time and the quality of the materials they used. I have been a heating engineer for 22 years and know exactly what you have to do to make sure your customers are 100% happy, BossDog did this. I would recommend them to anyone who needs this type of work to be carried out.
