At SigmaGrafix, one of the most common questions we receive is how to keep a vehicle wrap looking vibrant for as long as possible. Our customers want to make their wraps last and you should too!

Choose UV-Resistant Wrap Materials

When selecting vinyl for your car wrap, don’t just go for the cheapest option—choose a high-quality, UV-resistant vinyl. This type of material is designed to last longer and resist fading, keeping your wrap looking bright and bold.

Shield Your Vehicle from Weather Exposure

The Texas sun is harsh, and prolonged exposure can fade any vehicle wrap. When not in use, keep your car covered or parked in a garage. Excessive rain can also wear down wraps over time, so protecting your vehicle from the elements is key to longevity.

Keep Your Wrap Clean

Regularly cleaning your car helps protect your wrap. Use quality car shampoo to add a protective layer, and avoid automated car washes—hand washing is best to prevent any potential damage to the vinyl.

Opt for a Professional Wrap Installer

Proper installation is essential for a long-lasting wrap. A professional installer will ensure a seamless, durable finish, reducing the risk of premature wear or fading that can happen with DIY or amateur applications.
