How to protect your wrap in winter

Keep in mind the following tips to protect your vinyl wrap during winter:

1. Keep Your Vehicle Clean Often

Rain and snow fall at a much higher rate during the winter months, which leaves dirt and other deposits behind. Clean your vehicle with a soapy wet cloth every two weeks to remove the debris. If it gets between sections or under the wrap, it could cause it to be damaged. Although regular cleaning is essential, avoid washing your vehicle in freezing temperatures as this could cause ice to build up on your vehicle and in your driveway.

2. Snow should not turn into ice

Overnight, snow that has been left on your vehicle's surface can turn into ice. This ice will stick to your vinyl wrap and is very difficult to remove. Brush off any snow that has accumulated on your car as soon as you notice it.Rainbow Car Wrap

3. Avoid Scrapers

Scrapers work great to remove ice from windows but should not be used with vinyl wraps as they may cause the vinyl to peel or puncture. A soft brush will often be the best way to remove ice on the surface of your car.

4. Remember to be careful of road salt and sand

In snowy weather, driving often involves sand and road salt. These substances can stick to the wheels, wheel wells and undercarriage of your vehicle, causing damage. Salt can cause permanent damage to vinyl wraps if it lands on them. Use a soft bristle brush to clean the vehicle's surface after it has been parked.
