Just got your vehicle wrapped with SigmaGrafix, and you’re worried about smudges, dirt, or minor blemishes? No problem—we have the best tips to keep your wrap looking pristine and extend its lifespan.
Regular Washing Is Key
Make it a habit to wash your vehicle regularly. Dirt and oils left on your wrap become harder to remove and can damage the finish over time. Follow these essential washing tips:
- DO NOT use abrasive polishes or cutting compounds on your wrap.
- DO NOT apply polish or wax on matte or textured wraps.
- DO use an all-purpose cleaner to remove wax or residue if necessary.
- DO clean matte or satin vinyl with a 2:1 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water.
For tough stains, try these solutions in this order:
- Hot, soapy water
- A 2:1 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water
- Simple Green® All-Purpose Cleaner
- Household chlorine bleach (followed by the isopropyl alcohol mix)
- Mineral spirits (followed by the isopropyl alcohol mix)
Protect Your Vehicle Wrap with Proper Storage
Whenever possible, park your car in a garage or under a car cover. This prevents exposure to dirt, debris, and potential stains, keeping your wrap fresh longer. Car covers are widely available and provide affordable protection for your investment.
Quick Action for Fuel Spills
If gasoline spills on your wrap while fueling up, act quickly. Wipe it off immediately and wash the area to prevent damage. Quick clean-up prevents stains and preserves the wrap’s appearance.
Watch for Discoloration
If you notice any part of the graphics starting to discolor or brown, remove the affected area immediately to avoid staining the underlying paint. It’s easier to replace a section of your wrap than to repair damage to the vehicle’s finish.
Following these tips will keep your SigmaGrafix vehicle wrap looking great and ensure it lasts. Whether you’re on the road as a mobile advertisement or showcasing your style, your wrap will stay vibrant and eye-catching with proper care.
