For the construction of a regular family sedan, if the master is skilled, the PVC PET car wrap vinyl can be completed in about 1-2 days, while the TPU car cover requires more detailed processing (such as edge bonding and bubble removal), which takes about 2-3 days. After construction, it is recommended to let it sit for 24 hours before using the car to avoid the edges of the newly attached car cover from curling due to external forces (such as wind or touch). If it rains, it is best to wait for 48 hours before being exposed to rain to ensure that the backing adhesive is fully attached.
