How the Summer Sun Can Affect Your Vehicle Wrap

During the winter months, you have to be aware of the effects snow, ice and road salt have on your vehicle. However, you also have to think about how the hot summer weather can affect your vehicle and custom vehicle wrap at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here are a few things for you to consider when trying to keep your vehicle wrap in optimum condition throughout the summer months:

Vehicle Wraps and UV Rays

One of the great things about vehicle wraps is that they protect your custom paint job from the harmful effects of UV rays. What's protecting your vehicle wrap though? While vinyl vehicle graphics are designed to stand up to UV rays, extended exposure to the sun could lead to a shorter life for your vehicle wrap. The intensity of sun damage can vary due to vehicle use and location (the risk of exposure increases for areas with higher elevation).

Protecting Your Wrap 

To increase the life of your wrap, try to park it in the shade or in a garage when the vehicle is not in use. If you do have to park it outside in the sun, try to park in a different direction each time to avoid over exposure to a certain part of the vehicle. In addition, regular maintenance can keep your wrap looking shiny and new. Most people think about washing their car on nice days. However, keep in mind that vehicle wraps and those fancy car washes don't mix. Rather than running your vehicle wrap up against the harsh brushes in automatic car washes, you should wash your vehicle by hand and avoid harsh solvents. Applying an approved wax can also help protect your Missouri vehicle wrap from the sun.
