How to maintain car wrap vinyl film in summer?

Aug 21, 2021

It may be sultry in summer, so start high humidity! Summer is also the best time to show off your custom car packaging in town. In order to properly protect your car film, you must know how to maintain it to obtain a lasting effect. If properly maintained, the car film can be used for several years. Summer heat can be your vehicle’s worst enemy, causing vinyl to wrinkle and warp and damage your package. Here are some simple ways to make your car packaging look like new throughout the summer.

Summer Care Tips for Your Car Wrap

Keep The Car Vinyl Away From Direct Sunlight

To avoid any form of damage, always try to park the car in a cool place. As the summer temperature rises, you must carefully choose where to park your vehicle. Ultraviolet rays can cause packaging to fade and increase the temperature of the car’s surface. If you store your car in a storage box or any other very hot enclosed space, your wrapping may deform, shrink, expand, or the adhesive may melt and loosen the vinyl. The best place to store the vehicle is in a cool place.

Wash Your Car Regularly

You may have to wash your car more often, depending on your location. Make sure you are only using cold water with a soft sponge and a gentle soap to wash your car wrap. The best time to clean your vehicle is when it’s not as hot out, preferably earlier in the day when the sun isn’t as intense.
