    1. Regular Cleaning

    Keeping your vinyl wrap clean is essential. Dust, dirt, and pollutants can adhere to the surface, potentially causing damage over time. Wash your wrapped vehicle or surface regularly with a mild, non-abrasive soap and water solution. Use a soft, clean cloth or sponge to gently cleanse the wrap, avoiding harsh chemicals or pressure washers that can lift the edges of the vinyl.

    2. Immediate Stain Removal

    If you notice bird droppings, tree sap, or other stubborn stains, address them immediately. These substances can be corrosive and, if left untreated, may permanently damage the wrap. Soak the affected area with warm, soapy water and gently wipe away the stain.

    3. Avoid Direct Sunlight

    While Wrap Guys’ vinyl wraps are coated with a UV protection layer, minimizing prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can further extend the life of your wrap. Whenever possible, park your vehicle in shaded areas or use a car cover. For structures, consider the direction of sunlight exposure and potential ways to mitigate its impact.
