Vehicle Wraps Can Protect Your Factory Paint Job!

You've been thinking about a custom vehicle wrap at the Lake of the Ozarks, but you don't want to damage that beautiful factory paint job. "Will a vehicle wrap damage my paint?"  This is a question we get asked on a regular basis.  In most cases, vehicle wraps will not damage factory paint jobs.  In fact, they can actually protect your factory paint!

Protective Layer


Prior to wrapping, your car will be thoroughly cleaned on the surface to make sure there isn't any dirt or residue on the paint.  On a well maintained vehicle, the wrap essentially creates a protective layer over the paint.  This layer will help protect your paint from outside elements such as UV rays, flying rocks and other debris that can cause scratching.  Vinyl wraps adhere on top of the existing paint job and will last several years with proper cleaning and maintenance.  When you are ready to remove the wrap, bring it to Missouri's best wrap shop and we'll simply peel it right off.  You will find fewer scratches and chips in the paint than you would if the vehicle hadn't been wrapped.   

Paint Condition


Paint in poor condition may fail when the vinyl is removed down the road. If your paint job is rusting, chipped or peeling, your vehicle would not be a great candidate for a vehicle wrap. The paint may actually peel when the wrap is removed due to the already inherent flaws.  In addition, brand new paint needs plenty of time to dry before being wrapped.  It is important to talk with the staff at ProDezigns and pretest your paint job prior to wrapping it with vinyl.    

Vehicle wraps in Jefferson City, Columbia and the Lake Area have become increasingly popular. With a custom vehicle wrap, you are able to advertise in areas where it would be impossible by any other means.  Increase your exposure with a vehicle wrap by consulting with one of our experts today!  Contact ProDezigns at 573-392-0500. You can rest assured knowing that your wrap is being installed and removed with the proper care so that it will not damage your paint!

If you can drive it, ride it, pull it, fly it, or lift it, we can wrap it!

6 Tips on Caring for Your Vehicle Wrap

Vehicle wraps at the Lake of the Ozarks are a great way to get your business name out there!  In order to present a positive message, you want to keep your vehicle wrap looking great.  Just like the rest of your vehicle, the wrap requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Here are some tips for longer-lasting, vibrant color on your vehicle wrap!

How to Care for Your Vehicle Wrap 


1. Wash your wrap on a regular basis. 


You should wash your wrap once a week or more if your wrap is regularly exposed to a lot of dirt and pollutants.  Be sure to always use an automotive sponge or a clean, soft cloth to wash your wrap. Rinse the wrap thouroughly with clear water and use a silicone squeegee to minimize water spots. To finish, dry the wrap with a clean microfiber cloth. Hand washing with a gentle automotive detergent is safer and more thorough than taking it through a car wash.

2. Clean bird droppings and other stains immediately. 


Letting stains such as bird droppings sit for too long will make them harder to remove and could permanently damage the wrap.  To clean, soak the affected area for a few minutes with warm, soapy water to loosen the contaminants.  Be sure to rinse completely and dry the wrap with a microfiber cloth.  If the contaminant won't come off with the soapy water, try using 2 parts rubbing alcohol with one part water.  Be sure to test any cleaning solution on a small area that's not easily noticeable to ensure the cleaner won't harm your wrap.  Never use solvents or oil based cleaning products!

3. Wipe off fuel spills immediately. 


Hand wash the affected area quickly.  If you let the spill stay on the wrap too long, it can degrade the vinyl.  A quick wipe with a wet paper towel as the gas station will get you by until you can get home to do a more thorough job.

4. Never use these cleaning products.


When caring for your Missouri custom vehicle wrap, you never want to use any of the following products: solvents, oil based cleaners, kitchen & bathroom cleaners, oven cleaner, orange oil or engine degreaser.

5. Park your car in a garage or under a canopy if possible.



Although vehicle wraps are designed to withstand the elements, its best to keep your car protected. Excessive amounts of time under the sun or other outdoor elements, such as rain, smog, debris and road pollutants from passing cars, can degrade the wrap, especially on the roof, trunk lid and hood. The horizontal areas are a magnet for pollutants, which are intensified by sun exposure.  If you must park your vehicle outside, look for shady parking areas.


6. Remove the wrap if you notice brown or rust colored areas. 


Wraps can turn brown due to prolonged exposure to acid from pollutants in the air.  Typically this can be avoided by following the tips for cleaning above.  However, if you do notice these areas on your wrap, it is best to remove it before it damages the paint underneath.  Often times you can replace just the affected part of the wrap rather than the entire vehicle wrap.


If you ever have questions about caring for your custom vehicle wrap, don't hesitate to give ProDezigns a call.  We're Missouri's best wrap shop creating vehicle wraps in Jefferson City, Columbia and Lake of the Ozarks areas.  To get started on your custom vehicle wrap today, give us a call at 573-392-0500.
