A vehicle wrap for your fleet’s cars, vans, and trucks can be a great way to promote, advertise, and share your business’ information. As with any type of signage, infrastructure, or equipment that you use, ensuring its lasting durability and minimizing wear is essential for its effectiveness and your bottom line. The same is true for your vehicle wrap and it can be achieved with these tips.
Store Your Vehicle in a Safe Location
The sun and climatological effects of south Louisiana’s weather can take a toll on vehicles in general, and specifically a vinyl wrap. Prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight and other difficult weather conditions can cause damage to your vehicle wrap over time. In order to minimize the exposure to the elements, be sure to park in covered areas such as garages and carports as often as possible. This practice will protect the wrap and maximize the usable life of the vinyl and minimize the chance of weather-based fading.
Keep Your Vehicle and Its Wrap Clean
Vinyl vehicle wraps need to be routinely cleaned to remove objects like insects, bird droppings, and dirt. To clean your wrap, it only requires a soft sponge and warm soapy water. By gently cleaning your wrap you can maximize the design and ensure that nothing bakes onto the surface. If you don’t clean your vehicle wrap, the adherence of different objects can damage the finish.
Don’t Use High-Pressure Water or Wax on Your Vehicle’s Wrap
Using a pressure washer or an automated car wash to clean your vehicle wrap will damage the vinyl. The pressure can cause the wrap to rip and you will need to repair or a replace it. Wax should also be avoided because it can degrade and damage the vinyl.
