Caring for your vehicle after installation
Washing
Hand washing is the best way to keep the vehicle clean. You want to avoid high pressure systems as they may damage the adhesive around the edges. It’s okay to run it through a car wash as long as it’s not high pressure.
You Can Wax Your Wrap
If you have a full wrap, there is no need for wax. If you have only a partial wrap, you can use wax on the exposed paint, but make sure to remove any build up along the edge of the graphics.
Window Graphics
If you have a vehicle with window graphics or window perforated graphics, you want to avoid using an ice scraper. Instead, turn on the defroster and use a soft brush to do the job.
Any issues that may arise we will take care of it however best we can. You don’t have to worry about us disappearing or not answering the phone. We’ve got you covered.
Q: Does perforated vinyl restrict your vision through the window?
You can see very well if there is no rain or precipitation. You may not even notice that its there. Water does get in the holes, but dries out. When it rains you can’t see much of anything.
The industry solution to the problem is to laminate with a clear laminate. We do not recommend this because the laminate is not perfect vision, it has adhesive that blurs vision, and the worst part is that after a few car washes, the laminate has so many micro-scratches that rear view vision is holographic when headlights hit it. As the laminate ages the problem gets more intense. A soft brush can be used to remove dust from the holes occasionally if you even notice that.

Q: How does four color process work?
Four color process is a printing process where you begin with finished full color artwork and separate out the artwork into the CMYK format – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The separate films are created and printed with special process inks and the print looks like the original artwork.
