Vehicle Wraps - FAQ’s
1. What Are Vehicle Wraps?

2. What type of information should you include on vehicle wraps?
The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can display on your company vehicle. Here are the most common choices:
Company name
Company slogan or tagline
Contact information (phone number, website, email address)
Company logo
Concise information about your business (what do you do?)
Company branding, images, and colours
You can display your company’s contact information on your vehicle
3. How long do vehicle wraps last?
High-quality, professionally installed vehicle graphics can last several years. If they are taken care of they may even last longer than your vehicle.
The length of time will depend on weather conditions and how you look after it overall i.e. hand washing as opposed to taking it through a car wash.
4. How do you make your vehicle wrap last longer?
Keeping your vehicle wrap clean and free from dirt and debris will help to prevent scratches on the surface and will prolong its life.
5. How do you wash vehicle wraps?
The best way to clean vehicle wraps is to hand wash them. Using a touchless car wash will also work but avoid taking it through an automatic car wash that has brushes as these can dull the finish on your wrap.

6. Should you change your vehicle wraps?
Even though vehicle wraps can last a long time, you may want to change them from time to time. Some reasons why you would change your wrap include:
You update your brand so you want your wrap to reflect this change
The information for your company changes
You want a fresh look so your audience doesn't tune out your message
7. Do vinyl wraps ruin your paint?
Vinyl wraps do not damage the paint on your vehicle, in fact they can help to protect it from things like minor scratches, fading from the sun, minor abrasions, and damage caused by stones chipping your vehicle.
8. How are vinyl wraps applied?
Vinyl wraps are applied to your vehicle's surface with a special adhesive that is activated with a water-based solution. The wrap itself is made from a poly vinyl chloride or PVC material that has plasticizers added to it to make it extremely flexible.

9. HOW LONG DO Vehicle Graphics TAKE TO INSTALL?
The length of time it takes to install your graphics will depend on the size of your vehicle, the shape of your vehicle, the complexity of your design, and how much of your vehicle you want covered.
A small design can take as little as one day whereas a larger, more complex project can take up to 3 or more days.
10. What Will My Vehicle look like once the Wrap is removed?
When vehicle wraps are removed your paint will look the same as it did before it was applied. However, the removal of wraps should only be attempted by a professional sign installation company.
11. Can Wraps be Fixed if they get damaged in a Car accident?
If your vehicle wrap gets damaged in an accident, then get your vehicle repaired first. Then you can have the damaged pieces of the vehicle wrap replaced. Usually you don't have to replace the entire vehicle wrap as long as only a portion of the wrap is damaged.
