Cleaning Tips

Waterless Wash - Preferred Method

If the vehicle is not overly dirty, this is the preferred method. Hand wash extremely dirty vehicles first and follow up with a waterless wash. Waterless wash products can help maintain the gloss level and performance of the film. Before using any new product on your wrap, be sure to test them in an inconspicuous area of the vehicle. We Recommend using our standard cleaner in our Supreme Wrap Care line at wraptorsstore.com. Afterward, use our sealant to provide a protective layer on your wrap for easier cleaning of everyday dirt and stains.

Hand Wash

Ideal for vehicle with dirt or other residue. Follow the below steps:

1) Pre rinse: Using a hose, rinse the whole wrap with clean water. This helps remove the loose dirt particles and helps avoid scratching the graphics.

2) Wash: Gently wash the vehicle with a mild soapy water solution using a soft cloth or synthetic or natural sponge. Start from the top of the vehicle and work down.

3) Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

4) Dry: Let the wrap dry naturally. To avoid water spotting, use silicone squeegee to remove water then finish drying with micro-fiber or soft, non abrasive towel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wash my vehicle?

Yes, as long as the wax does not contain petroleum distillates, which is found in many paste waxes. Products that are combination of a waterless wash and wax are great options as long as the vehicle doesn`t have a matte finish and isn`t excessively dirty.

What if my wrap has a matte finish?

The Wraptors Wrap Care Cleaner is approved for all vinyl finishes. Use a waterless wash that is recommended for matte finishes. Waterless wash products containing wax can fill in the texture and cause shiny spots. A lighter matter finish will be prone to showing more dirt than other finishes. Use a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alchohol and water mix does not remove dirt, you can try using a hot soapy water solution. You can also try an all-purpose cleaner purchased at your local hardware store.

NOTE

Excessive spraying at the wrong angle may create failure points and result in the wrap lifting at edges.

An automatic car wash that uses brushes is not recommended. Brushes may scratch the wrap or catch the wrap`s edge and create a failure point.
