Winter has come, and with that comes the need to incorporate some winter care and maintenance into your routine. The same applies to protecting your vehicle wraps. Protecting the graphic and visual aspect of the wrap is not the only priority; if your vinyl wrap is torn or tattered in any way, it’s not a good impression.
The winter season can really take a severe toll on the condition of your vehicle wrap. This means protecting your vehicle wraps becomes all the more important. But what are these maintenance tactics that you can adapt this winter season? Here are some:
Clear Out the Salt From the Vehicle Wrap
There is salt on the roads throughout the snowy months. The salt tends to dehydrate and erode the vehicle wrap. To prevent this damage from happening, you should wash your car weekly to prevent the buildup of salt on your car.
Do Not Use a Scraper
It may seem tempting to use a scraper to remove the snow from your car. Whether you use a hard brush or a scraper to clean the salt or the snow before driving, it can scratch your vinyl car wrap. Instead of using a scraper, you can use an absorbent towel, wipe off the snow and use waterproof gloves.
Watch Out for Scratches
If there is a hole or a scratch in your vehicle wrap, and you leave it that way, it can develop into bigger holes and ultimately ruin the whole look. So keep a very close eye out first scratches and fix them as soon as you see them to not further develop into more damage.
Don’t Use Pressure Washing
Avoid pressure washing your vehicle. It will not help in protecting your vehicle wrap and instead slowly erode it. That faded look is not going to leave a nice impression on your viewers.
