The re-paint process typically takes weeks, if not months, often degrades the resale value of your vehicle, and will typically cost upwards of $10,000 for a quality professional job.

What is Vinyl Wrapping?
Vinyl wrapping, also commonly referred to as vehicle wrapping, is the process of applying pressure-sensitive sheets of vinyl, available in any color or finish, to your vehicle’s painted surfaces by hand. Vinyl wrapping is one of the newest and most innovative products to hit the custom automotive world in years. It can be installed on everything from cars, trucks, and SUVs to boats, trailers, walks floors, furniture, and even electronics.
Vinyl wrap is essentially a big sticker or decal that will change the color and finish of your car, truck, or SUV while at the same time protecting the factory paint from stone chips, scratches, and fading. Vehicle wraps are designed to be installed in such a way that it looks identical to car paint, therefore you won’t be able to tell the difference between a wrapped car and a painted car. The primary difference between a vinyl wrap and traditional automotive paint is vinyl wrap is temporary so you can easily change the color and it won’t ruin your vehicle's residual value or warranties, it’s more affordable, and it takes significantly less time to install.
Vehicle wrapping results in a protective vinyl covering over the surface of your vehicle that is 3-4 mils thick which keeps your factory paint job safe from road debris and weather elements. When you are ready to remove a vehicle wrap, you can peel the vinyl off the surface of your car and provided you use quality vinyl materials by 3M or Avery Dennsion; your vehicle's factory paint will appear as it did the day you applied the vinyl wrap. Retaining your factory paint job is highly beneficial when you have a leased vehicle, or want to protect your cars paint to retain the residual value of the car, truck, or SUV when it’s time to trade it in our sell it.
How is Vinyl Wrap Made?
Vinyl wrap films are made for a few basic raw materials the primary of which is polyvinylchloride (PVC) polymer. PVS polymer is a plastic that has a relatively rigid property. When making vinyl wrap, PVC is combined with a plasticizer to make the film flexible, pigment to create the desired color of the vinyl, heat stabilizers, fillers, processing aids, and special additives which help the vinyl to achieve its UV absorber characteristics to improve UV radiation resistance. The raw materials used in this process change range in their level of quality which will result in the vinyl wraps durability rating.
Beyond just the raw materials used to manufacture vinyl wrap, the manufacturing process, as well as the type of plasticizer that is used to create the vinyl wrap, has the biggest impact on the vinyl’s durability. There are two different processes that are used to manufacture vinyl wrap, casting and calendaring. Each of these processes results in a vastly different quality of vinyl film. In general, the casting process is the preferred method of manufacturing which results in higher quality films. The plasticizers grade used in the casting process is what determines the vinyl wraps flexibility. For pressure-sensitive adhesive films, monomeric or polymeric plasticizers can be used. Polymeric plasticizer is considered the higher grade material where monomeric is the lower grade which is also cheaper.
Benefits of Car Wrapping
Vinyl wrapping your car, truck, or SUV is not only risk-free, it provides numerous functional benefits over painting or dipping such as:
- Vinyl wrap provides protection from stone chips, scratches, and abrasions to your vehicle's factory paint.
- When high-quality vinyl wrap like 3M Graphics or Avery Dennison is used, it can be easily removed by a professional and not cause damage to your factory paint.
- Vinyl wrap will preserve the original factory paintwork which is beneficial if your vehicle is leased and you want to add a custom look or you want to preserve the factory paint to keep your car, truck, or SUVs residual value maintained.
- Vehicle wrapping is substantially cheaper than a traditional paint job.
- Car Wraps will not devalue the resale value of your car like a traditional paint job.
- Warranties and lease agreements remain valid with vinyl wrap unlike re-painting a car or truck which would void factory automotive warranties, put you in violation of your lease, and increase the cost of insurance.
- When properly cared for and quality material is used, vinyl automotive wraps will wear as well as, or even better than traditional paint. Vehicle wraps will take a beating while protecting your car, truck, SUV or motorcycle's factory paint underneath.
- Vinyl car, truck, and SUV wraps come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. 3M and Avery vinyl's offer a custom unique look that is almost impossible to reproduce with traditional paint. Avery and 3M both offer matte, semi-gloss, gloss, brushed steel, carbon fiber, metallic flake, matte metallic, chrome and even leather-like finishes.
- With vinyl wrap, expensive, color-matching paint fees are unnecessary for scratches or accident vehicles. All you have to do when damage occurs is re-wrap the section that needs repair with a new sheet of vinyl.
- When a car, truck or motorcycle is wrapped by our professionally trained installers, it is difficult to notice your car is wrapped and not painted. With our vinyl paint wrapping technique, the vinyl will literally look as if it was sprayed on.
- With car and truck wraps, you can affordably customize parts of your car. You don’t have to wrap your entire car; using vinyl on just your hood, roof, mirrors, or trim is a common request.
- Matte paint jobs are brittle and can chip easily while matte vinyl wrap is durable and harder to scratch.
- Vinyl wrapping your car or truck will hide dings or scratches while offering a “freshness” to the look of your vehicle.
- Vinyl wraps look incredible, you'll be turning heads left and right with your newly wrapped car, truck, SUV or motorcycle.
Vinyl Wrap vs Dip
We get the question daily, should I vinyl wrap or dip my car? Plastidip is considerably cheaper than vinyl wrap so if you’re looking for a color change for your ride, why should you pony up the extra cash for a vehicle wrap? The short and sweet of it is vinyl wrap is a far superior product to PlastiDip when it comes to car, truck, or SUV color changes. In fact, our shop stopped offering full vehicle PlastiDips due to the constant issues we saw our customers experiencing with Plasti-Dip.
PlastiDip gets a lot of attention these days because it is cheaper and easier to apply than vinyl wrap. While Plasti-Dip is a great option for the DIY car enthusiast who wants to change the color of his 1995 Honda Civic, it is a terrible option if you are looking for a truly custom car that stands out from the crowd.
Here are a few reasons why vinyl wrap is superior to PlastiDip and worth the investment:
In the best possible scenario, if you baby your PlastiDip and keep it out of the elements, it could last up to 3 years. Most likely, however, you’ll be very lucky to get a year out of your investment. Vinyl wrap, on the other hand, can last up to 7 years or more.
Colors and Designs
While PlastiDip has been releasing a variety of cool colors and mixes, the color and pattern options are still limited when compared to vinyl wrap. Vehicle wraps offer a plethora of colors, textures, and finishes that Plasti-Dip simply can’t match.
With PlastiDip you get what you pay for. When it comes to a vehicle that is exposed to harsh elements, chemicals from the road or gasoline spills when filling your tank, even bird droppings, PlastiDip just doesn’t hold up. Plasti-Dip is easily damaged by any number of things your car comes into contact with and will look terrible in no time flat. We’ve had countless customers leave with a new PlastiDip ride only to return days later with chips, streaks, fading, bubbling, you name it. Vinyl wrap, on the other hand, stands up to its durability claims.
Ease of Removal
Removing PlastiDip from a trim piece or wheel is one thing, trying to remove Plasti-Dip from an entire vehicle is a whole different story. Peeling PlastDip off an entire car is labor intensive and in most cases, you’ll end up with scraps of Plasti-Dip in areas you will never be able to reach. Also to do it properly Plasti-Dip removal requires special chemicals which easily damage your factory paint if not carefully monitored. Vinyl wrap in contrast, is easy to remove in full sheets with little effort. You won’t risk cracks and crevasses that you can’t reach remaining full of rubber.
Hands down a vehicle wrap just looks better than PlastiDip. Even with all the advancements in PlastiDip technology adding glosses and new colors, Plasti-Dip just doesn’t compete with vinyl wrap in the looks department. PlastiDip is difficult to apply properly without your final product looking splotchy and inconsistent. It’s difficult to get the spray pattern, timing, and layers just right to result in a great looking end result. With Vinyl Wrap, on the other hand, you get exactly what you expect. With high-quality vinyl wrap materials like Avery Dennison and 3M and a professional installation, it’s difficult to not end up with a fantastic looking final product.
Dangers & Pitfalls of Cheap Vinyl Wrap
Why Use Avery & 3M
We’ve all asked the question, why should I spend $800 in materials on 3M or Avery Dennison vinyl wrap when I can buy the same color and style on eBay for $200? A plethora of Chinese manufactured vinyl wrap has become available on sites like Amazon and eBay as well as a host of discount vinyl wrap supplier websites. We’re well aware of the cost difference, we get at least five sales calls and emails a week from manufacturers overseas trying to get us to carry their vinyl wrap. Unfortunately, the adage of “you get what you pay for” could not be truer when it comes to vinyl wrap.
It can be a difficult pill to swallow, spending considerably more money on vinyl wrap material for what seemingly is the same material. I mean it’s just a big sticker, right? How different could the materials really be? The truth is you might as well flush that $200 you dropped on a roll of vinyl wrap from a Chinese supplier right down the toilet. We’ve wrapped thousands of cars over the years and we can say with 100% confidence that it is not worth the time or money to wrap a vehicle with cheap vinyl wrap. Beyond the shortfall of the material, there is a real risk that you could be causing serious damage to your vehicle’s paint job.
So why is cheap vinyl wrap such a bad investment? Here are a few key factors to consider:
Bubble, Bubbles, Bubbles
If you’ve ever tried to wrap something, you’ll be able to appreciate how frustrating air bubbles are. Cheap vinyl wrap is breeding ground for air bubbles. 3M Graphics and Avery Dennison have both developed sophisticated air release channel technology built into their vinyl wrap which allows the vinyl to breathe during installation. The air release features are invisible to human eye and will save you countless hours of frustration when performing a vinyl installation. There is nothing more infuriating than lying the perfect piece of vinyl on a large panel only to discover an air bubble smack in the center!
Wrinkles are the second most frustrating challenge to overcome when performing a vinyl wrap installation. Wrinkles will ruin a good piece of vinyl leading to waste, cause lifting of the wrapping material from the vehicle, and cause ugly ripples and distortions in your final product. 3M and Avery Dennison have both developed vinyl wrap that is resistant to wrinkling and provides a thick enough material to reducing wrinkling effects. They also employ vastly superior heat capabilities which allow you to heat a piece of wrinkled vinyl wrap back into its original shape so it’s still usable.
Cheap vinyl wrap is notorious for cracking, especially when exposed to the harsh elements of the sun which Arizona has no shortage of. The materials used to manufacture cheap vinyl wrap will dry and crack under even mild sun exposure. This will leave your car, truck, or SUV looking cheap, old, and run down.
Tears and Ripples
When applying vinyl wrap, the goal is to get a tight stretch on the material to provide a smooth, glass like final product that looks exactly like paint. 3M and Avery Dennison vinyl wrap is developed using the cast method and employing materials that allow it to hold up to stretching and manipulation. This allows you to pull, stretch, and conform the material to the surface of the vehicle without risk of tears, ripples, and color distortion.
Cheap Vinyl Wrap on the other hand, is prone to tears and ripples the minute you try to stretch it to apply it to the surface of your vehicle. It is also notorious for tearing after you have applied the vinyl wrap. Imagine you finish your Vinyl Wrap job, step back to take in its beauty and watch in horror as the vinyl starts to tear and lift away from the vehicles surface.
Cheap vinyl wrap is notorious for peeling both during the installation and well after the installation is complete. The adhesives used in cheap car wraps are a low tack material. It doesn’t take long for a cheap vinyl wrap to start peeling at every seam and tuck point. Your vehicle wrap investment will look like a cheap knock-off job in no time.
The adhesives and materials used in the manufacturing of cheap vinyl wrap are highly prone to water damage. 3M Graphics and Avery Dennison have developed vinyl materials to stand up to years of abuse by the elements without damage. Cheap vinyl wrap, on the other hand, will dry out, lift, wrinkle, and tear the moment it is exposed to a good rain or snow.
Discoloration is one of the worst features you’re buying with cheap vinyl wrap. A vinyl wrap installation requires the material to be stretched and heated in some cases multiple times. That cheap vinyl wrap may look great on the roll when you first receive it, however, the minute you stretch it or apply any heat to it, the color will distort, discolor, and streak. 3M Graphics and Avery Dennison Vinyl Wrap, on the other hand, can be stretched, heated, re-stretched and heated again and it will retain its original color and texture.
When all is said and done, it all really comes down to whether or not the manufacturer stands behind the products they produce and sell. There is nothing more infuriating than dropping a $2,000 on the material and labor to install a vinyl wrap only to have the material discolor, fade, rip, tear, and fall off a few weeks later. At Apex Customs we only use 3M and Avery Dennison materials because we know they stand behind their products and back them with industry leading warranties.
The most crucial pitfall to note about cheap vinyl wrap is the potential for serious damage to your vehicle's factory paint. Have you ever tried to remove a manufacturer's sticker from a new product that would just not come off? You grab a corner of the offending sticker and give it a yank only to have it tear into a million little pieces or just pull the top laminate layer off the sticker. After several minutes and a few choice words, you finally relent and pull out the goo-gone to let the citrus work it’s magic only to find that your efforts resulted in scratches all over the new shiny DVD player. Now imagine that amplified by a thousand across your entire vehicle.
The adhesives used in cheap vehicle wraps are similar to that horrible parking sticker that was slapped on your illegally parked car or that cheap UPC label on the DVD player from Walmart. Removing cheap vinyl wrap is not only an incredibly frustrating process, it will also commonly come off while still gripping a piece of your expensive paint job. Avery Dennison and 3M Graphics have gone to great lengths to develop safe release features into their vinyl wrap adhesive. These safe release features alone are worth every extra penny you spend on a professional quality vehicle wrap.
Cast Vinyl Wrap
The Best Vinyl Wrap Available
Cast vinyl wrap is a process of making vinyl wrap that is similar to baking a cake. The vinyl wrap manufacturing during casting starts with a recipe of ingredients required to complete the process. The materials are combined and mixed in a giant bowl in a predetermined order and mixed at a specific speed for a specific time-period. The results in a consistent vinyl mixture which referred to an organosol. The organosol is then precisely cast onto a moving web material referred to as the casting sheet and sent through a series of ovens to evaporate the solvents in the mixture. As the solvents are evaporated, the resulting material is a solid film that is then wound up onto large-diameter rolls ready for adhesive. The type of casting web used determines the texture of the vinyl wrap film.
Once the vinyl film has completed the manufacturing process, the large sheets of vinyl are then rolled through a process to apply the adhesive which holds the vinyl wrap to the surface of the vehicle when applied. In the casting process, vinyl wrap is cast onto the sheet in a relaxed state which results in good dimensional stability. The casting process also allows the film to be thin which helps with the materials conformability properties that are important when wrapping vinyl over contoured surfaces. Cast vinyl wrap is the best material for use on cars, trucks, SUVs, recreation vehicles and boats where the goal is to have a finished product that has a paint-like surface.
Advantages of Cast Vinyl Wrap Film
Cast vinyl wrap films have the best durability due to the raw materials used and manufacturing process employed in making the film.
Cast vinyl films can be produced in very thin sheets which will help to produce a conformable product that makes application to surfaces with corrugations and complex curves possible.
Cast vinyl films typically maintain their color and UV properties better than other vinyl films.
The manufacturing process used when making cast films allows for small production runs of special colors.
Casting vinyl wrap results in low shrinkage because the casting sheet rather than the film itself is pulled through the machine. Because the film hasn’t experienced stress from pulling during the manufacturing process, the film does not try to shrink back to its original form when installed.

The Vinyl Wrap Process
Step By Step Guide ~ How To Vinyl Wrap
Step 1: Approach / Inspecting Area / Removal of Vinyl Wrap
The first step in any quality install is good prep and a solid approach. To properly plan your projects, you must know how much vinyl is necessary to wrap the part. You will also want to try and remove anything that is blocking you from wrapping the surface entirely. Knowing how much vinyl you need, where tension areas are, issues with the paint, etc. are all important things to consider. Once you have all parts removed such as liners, moldings, handles, etc., it’s time to get cleaning!
Step 2: Cleaning & Prep Prior to Vinyl Wrapping
A clean surface/product is by far the most important thing to consider when wrapping anything. Most surfaces can be cleaned by using a degreaser and then 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. You will want to make sure the surface that you are wrapping is smooth to the touch. You would think that the vinyl would cover chips, scratches, or dirt debris, but it doesn’t. The vinyl contours to any area and if there are imperfections, they will be visible once the project is completed.
Step 3: Vinyl Wrap Size & Measurements
Once everything is removed and the surface is cleaned, you will want to measure out a piece of vinyl that fits roughly 4-6 inches longer than the piece that you are wrapping. If you are skilled, you can trim the vinyl to a smaller size if you are looking to save money on the vinyl. For starters, it’s easier to work with more vinyl than less. The vinyl comes in a 60” roll by 25 feet in length. Some companies will sell less material based on the project but the standard roll is 60” or 5 feet. Most panels on a vehicle are smaller than 60” but there are times when you have to cut multiple pieces for an oversized hood/roof/trunk.
Step 4: Laying Vinyl Wrap
Double check that the surface is prepped and clear of dust and debris that might have been floating around while you were taking measurements. It's easiest to have a friend with clean hands help pull the backing off the vinyl, but you can also fold back one of the corners, tack the edge, and pull gently across the surface if you know what you are doing.
Once the backing is off, the adhesive will be tacky but not 100% tacky until pressure has been applied. For wide surfaces, it's preferred to work inside out. Trapped air is your enemy. So you will want to keep your edges lifted so that you aren’t trapping air as you are squeegeeing. It is recommended that you hold the vinyl slightly off the surface as you run your squeegee across the surface.
Once you have all the air released and your vinyl is perfectly flat, test your work by taking a heat gun and go over the area that you just flattened. If any air is trapped, it will bubble and you can push the air out if the vinyl has air release. Heating before you make your cuts ensures that you can lift the vinyl off the vehicle if trapped air is too stubborn to release.
Step 5: Cutting Vinyl Wrap
First thing to remember when making cuts is that the razor will slice thru paint very easily, so you want to watch your blade and put it away when not in use. When the vinyl is laid on the panel, you will want to trim the vinyl to fit the piece perfectly to the edge or enough to wrap behind it. When wrapping a body panel, you can use the outer edge of the body line to make the cut so there is roughly 1/4cm or so to tuck around the edge. This will ensure that you have enough vinyl to cover the color underneath or in the cracks. Always keep the blade off the vehicle and only using the edge to run across but not slicing. Practicing on other parts before wrapping the body paint would be the best idea if you are unfamiliar with wrapping.
Step 6: Tucking Vinyl Edges
After all the cuts are made, you will want to tuck all your edges. This process can make or break a wrap. There are a lot of people that can wrap a flat panel fast and efficiently, but they lack the quality in wrapping edges nicely. A proper edge shouldn’t have wrinkles (fingers) and it shouldn’t lift. If there is too much stretch or tension, the edges will fail.
Step 7: Post Heat
The final step is a quality post heat over what you’ve just laid, cut, and tucked. Post heating the surface will make sure that there isn’t too much tension on any area and will usually show you signs of failure by the vinyl curling up or failing. On deep pockets and contoured edges, a post heat will help to make sure that those areas don’t pop when the wrap is exposed to the sun. Clean the surface after the post heat with some alcohol and inspect your panel!
Vinyl Wrap Myths
There are a lot of rumors and myths floating around about vinyl wrap so we figured we would set the record straight. While we can’t address every falsehood floating around the interwebs, we at least want to address the most frequent we hear from our clients.
Myth 1: Vinyl Wrap Will Damage Your Paint
False. In reality, vinyl wrap helps protect your paint from the elements and road debris. Vinyl acts as a protective cover from the sun, ice, salt, dirt, and anything else your car comes into contact with on a daily basis. When quality vinyl wrap is used for your installation and uninstalled properly, your paint will look as good as the day you applied the wrap.
Myth 2: Vinyl Wrapping is too Expensive
False. Vinyl wrap gets a bad wrap when compared to color change options like PlastiDip in the cost department, however, vehicle wrapping is a bargain when compared to traditional paint. Vinyl wrap is a far superior product to PlastiDip and worth every extra penny. A custom paint job will set you back in the $10,000 range if you’re lucky. Vinyl wrap, on the other hand, is more in the $2,500 range and will help retain the residual value of your car by protecting the factory paint.
Myth 3: Vinyl Wrap Does Not Last
False. When properly cared for a vinyl wrap can last up to seven years. PlastiDip, by comparison, has a max life of 2 years. Wraps are very similar to paint, if you take care of them, they will last. Most people that get a vinyl wrap want to change the color after a few years anyways, and the beauty of wrap is a color swap is as simple as pulling and laying a new color.
The lifespan of a vinyl wrap is depended on how it’s used, the quality of vinyl material you use, and the location of where the car lives most of the time. If you live in the Phoenix sun and don’t have a garage to hide your ride from the solar rays, your vehicle wrap won’t last seven years. The same goes for paint which is a big reason why we get a lot of quote requests for hood and roof wraps at our Phoenix Arizona shop. However, if you have a garage, live in a cooler climate, and keep your wrap clean and maintained, then your vehicle wrap will last its full life span.
Another factor to keep in mind is the finish you choose for your vinyl wrap. A matte vinyl wrap is not going to last as long as a gloss vinyl which has a protective clear coat on the top layer of the vinyl material.
Myth 4: Vinyl Wrap is Difficult to Remove
False. When quality vinyl wrap material like 3M or Avery Dennison are used, and your vinyl is installed properly, vehicle wraps are very easy to remove without damage to your factory paint. While we always recommend vehicle wraps get removed by a trained professional, you can remove the vinyl yourself.
Vinyl Care Tips
Vinyl Wrap Washing
Hand Car Wash – When it’s time to clean your vinyl wrapped car, truck, SUV or motorcycle, Apex recommends hand washing with quality automotive cleaning products. You can treat your wrap like paint, but AVOID using compounds and swirl/scratch removers at all costs.
Waterless Car Wash - Apex also recommends using a product like a waterless wash to maintain your cars vinyl wrap between major washes.
Vinyl Wrapping and Microfiber
Apex highly recommends using microfiber towels when cleaning and drying your vinyl wrapped car, truck, or motorcycle to prevent scratches to the vinyl wrap. Keep an extra microfiber towel lying around for the unexpected shine up!
- Fold each microfiber towels in half twice before use on the vinyl. This will give you 8 clean pads to carry out your cleaning operation on your wrap.
- Spray the first microfiber towel with a waterless car wash to pre-wet, and then lightly spray the surface of the vehicle's vinyl wrap to be cleaned. Clean only one section of the car, truck, or motorcycle at a time.
- Wipe over the section of the vehicles vinyl wrapped surface with the microfiber towel pre-sprayed with the waterless car wash. Any motion circular or linear will work just fine.
- Once you’ve applied the waterless car wash and gently covered the section of the vehicle simply grab a clean microfiber towel and gently buff off leaving a brilliant long lasting luster.
Vinyl Wrap Automated Car Washes
Brush-type car or truck washes are NOT recommended on a vinyl wrapped vehicle as they can scratch the film, cause edges to lift or chip, and dull the film’s appearance. Brushless car washes are acceptable for vinyl wrap.
Vinyl Wrap and Pressure Washing
Although hand washing is the preferred cleaning method for vehicle wraps, pressure washing may be used only under these conditions.
- Ensure the water pressure is kept below 2000 psi (14 MPa).
- Keep water temperature below 80°C (180°F).
- Use a spray nozzle with a 40-degree wide angle spray pattern.
- Keep the nozzle at least 1 foot (300 mm) away from and perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the car.
Important Note! Holding the nozzle of a pressure washer at an angle to the graphic may lift the edges of the film.
Vinyl Wrapping & Difficult Contaminants
Often difficult contaminants on your vinyl wrap such as bug splatter, bird droppings, tree sap and similar contaminants by soaking them for several minutes with very hot, soapy water. Rinse your car, truck or motorcycle thoroughly and dry. If further cleaning is needed on the vinyl wrap, test one of these products in an inconspicuous area to ensure no damage to the wrap film: Meguiar’s Gold Class Bug and Tar Remover or 3M Citrus Base Cleaner. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (two parts IPA to 1 part water) or denatured alcohol may also help. Spot clean the contaminants. Do not use rough scrubbing, dirty or abrasive tools, which will scratch the film. Wash and rinse off all residue on your vinyl wrapped vehicle immediately.
Automotive Vinyl Wrap & Fuel Spills
If any fuel finds its way onto your car, truck, or motorcycle, wipe it off immediately to avoid degrading the vinyl wrap and adhesive. Then wash, rinse and dry the vehicle as soon as possible.
Vinyl Wrap Q&A
Is a vehicle vinyl wrap permanent?
A complete vinyl wrap can typically last for 5-7 years depending on the material used and conditions in which the car is driven and stored. The vinyl film can be removed completely without leaving any adhesive residue, returning the car to its original color and condition.
How long will my vinyl wrap last?
That depends on the application. If you park in a garage and your car isn't exposed to sunlight on a regular basis, the wrap could be good indefinitely however, typical vehicle wraps are good for 5-7 years.
The most common ways to improve the life of a wrap include protection from the sun, protection from water getting underneath the wrap and protection from abrasion. It is important to think about how your wrap may be exposed and, to discuss how to protect your wrap with your Apex Installer.
Are wrinkles, bubbles & seems acceptable for vinyl wraps?
Badly installed vinyl wraps will have wrinkles, bubbles, and seams. At Apex Customs Phoenix, our installers have the experience, training, and expertise to ensure your vehicle wrap is installed without wrinkles and bubbles and any seams required are hidden. With large vinyl wrap installations that include complex curves may make it difficult to eliminate all seams, however, our installers will take every precaution to finish your graphics job with as little as possible.
Can I take my vinyl wrapped car through a car wash?
Most vehicle wraps can be taken through car washes just like any painted vehicle. However, like with many paint jobs, vehicle wraps can also be damaged by car washes. Take care around the exposed edges and seams of a wrap and ask your Apex Customs installer what they recommend to increase the life of your particular wrap.
Will a vinyl wrap damage my paint?
No. When you use quality vinyl wrap materials, the vinyl can easily be removed without any damage to your factory paint. In fact, when properly installed, vinyl wrap will actually protect your paint helping to retain your vehicle's resale value. Vehicle wraps are the perfect solution for any graphics, decal, or sticker application you wish to apply to your vehicle.
How long does it take to vinyl wrap my vehicle?
Installation times vary according to the complexity of the project. A basic wrap job takes about 1-2 days. Due to the nature of the adhesive vinyl and the complex curves to which it’s applied, we build in an extra 24 hours after the application to allow for the film to fully adhere to the vehicle.
Do you cut on my car’s paint when installing the vinyl?
At Apex Customs we know you love your car, and we wouldn’t do anything to hurt it. Our certified professional installers employ a special technique called “BLADEAWAY” to protect your paint. We also use a product called Knifeless Tape which allows our installers to make precise edges on the painted surface without the use of a blade. The combination of these techniques allows for the most intricate trimming with no harm to your car.
Why is a full wrap car vinyl wrap more beneficial than a partial vinyl wrap?
Full wraps cover most or all of the paint on a vehicle while partial wraps cover only part of the vehicle. Even though full wraps are more expensive, they protect all of the original paint underneath instead of just part of the paint. This is critical when the wrap is removed since fading and scratches can result on the unprotected paint of a partial wrap. As a result, full wraps tend to protect or even increase the resale value of vehicles more than partial wraps.
What is a vehicle vinyl wrap?
A vehicle vinyl wrap is a process of applying pressure-sensitive vinyl in numerous colors and finishes is applied by hand onto a vehicle's painted surface. Wrapping is the newest and most innovative thing to hit the car customizing world in years. Vinyl wraps can also be installed on cars, trucks, SUV's, bikes, boats, wave-runners, trailers, walls, floors, furniture, laptops or just about any surface.
How much does a car vinyl wrap cost?
As with almost all custom work, it is hard to say exactly how much your vinyl wrapping project will cost. It will depend on the size of your vehicle, the vinyl material you choose, the complexity of the job, and more. Please give us a call or submit a quote request and tell us about your project so we can put a quote together for you.
How do I know that I am comparing "apples-to-apples" when looking for a vehicle vinyl wrap?
Here are some important points that can guide you to making an informed decision:
- Always ask how long the wrap will last and about the warranty coverage
- Make sure you understand what parts of the vehicle are going to be wrapped. Not wrapping certain difficult parts of a vehicle such as rear-view mirrors or door handles may reduce the cost of the wrap. It is also critical to use a design that can incorporate un-wrapped parts of the vehicle for optimal appearance. It is not always necessary to wrap the roof of a vehicle and this can reduce your cost. For example, if a delivery van or motor home roof cannot be seen from the ground, then this part of the wrap could be eliminated. However, racing vehicles or vehicles that drive in big cities and are seen from above, it's beneficial to wrap the roof.
- Ask about the vinyl that will be used. There are different qualities and price points of vinyl. Typically "high performance" vinyl materials are recommended for high-quality vehicle wraps. There are also special vinyl materials designed just for walls and floors.
- Make sure you understand the total cost associated with the wrap. There are frequently additional costs associated with vehicle prep and cleaning as well as design. Ask your wrap provider for an all-inclusive price.
- The design is the single most critical step in the success of your wrap. Some designers are more experienced and worth the extra cost associated with their services.
- Be sure to ask what special techniques will be used to prevent paint, clear-coat, and plastic part damage. These techniques may increase the cost of the wrap.
- Be sure to ask what techniques will be used to prevent wrinkles, bubbles, and seams. A wrap with zero wrinkles, bubbles and seams is typically more expensive than a normal wrap or may not be possible.
- 3M Graphics and Avery Dennison certified wrap providers are typically superior to other wrap providers because they have gone through scrutiny in order to obtain certification and must maintain their credentials in order to remain 3M certified.

Innovation Leads to Higher-End Car Wash Experiences
The newest trends seen across the convenience channel include automation, subscriptions and truck washes.
NATIONAL REPORT — From upgraded equipment and automatic, app-operated bays to subscription-based services and the addition of truck washes, convenience store retailers are adding more profit to their bottom lines with onsite car washes.
While the COVID-19 pandemic delivered a boom to the car wash industry overall, many customers have continued the habit even after the pandemic, which has motivated c-stores across the country to renovate their washes and upgrade their offers, according to Ken Underhill, director of marketing at D&S Car Wash Supply, based in High Ridge, Mo.
"We have seen many c-stores renovating their car washes and replacing old machines with newer options that include lights and foam, as well as offering a more premium experience to their customers," he noted.
The latest car wash technology offers a more advanced wash experience. In turn, operators are providing add-ons customers can choose for a higher-priced wash. Today's equipment is able to do a 3D scan of a car to create "a far better and more efficient wash," and customers can choose from higher-priced options such as waxing, triple foam and more, said Underhill.
"There are models that offer a variety of colors, smells, flashing LED lights and more to add to the ambiance of the wash, and many c-stores are offering good, better, best and premium price points up to $15 for a wash," he reported. "Most people go for the higher price points. The average person does not choose the basic bread-and-butter wash; they often go for the top or the middle."
The newest trends in the car wash space include automatic washes, often activated by an app, which do not require an employee to operate them; the addition of higher-end truck washes; subscriptions plans; and giving customers a frictionless checkout experience.
At Love's Travel Stops, based in Oklahoma City and operating more than 510 locations in 41 states, the chain now has three automated Love's Truck Washes in operation in Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas — with five more planned for the near future. All offer frictionless checkout to customers, according to Gary Price, executive vice president of Love's.
"Our automated truck wash is powered by Whiting Systems wash gantries. The technology allows us to offer quality washes with quicker service than our competitors and we use a handheld point-of-sale system, so the wash technician can ring the driver up in a frictionless manner while he or she remains in the car," he explained.
The Rise of Truck Washes
While car washes have been a common profit center for convenience stores for some time, truck washes are gaining popularity, especially with the introduction of automated versions that can wash a truck without additional employees in 12 to 15 minutes, according to Underhill. "For larger c-stores with the room, it can also be used for sprinter vans or RVs," he noted.
Love's added truck washes to its locations after asking customers what would help them in their line of business. Customers were "vocal that truck washes would be a big win for professional drivers, who are already using our facilities," Price said, adding that the retailer felt that adding them would be "the next logical step" and add "a new layer of service."
The company's goal is to make Love's Truck Wash as frictionless as possible, so drivers never have to get out of their trucks. A Love's employee goes to the truck, asks the driver what service they want, and then collects payment with a portable point-of-sale device.
"Love's understands the importance of getting back on the road quickly. Once a truck enters the bay, the goal is a 15-minute wash," Price said, with box trailers and reefer trailers having a wash goal of four to seven minutes. "We aim for a wash quality that will rival our competitors with shorter wait times, quicker service and a better value."
Another c-store operator offering truck wash services is Warrenton Oil Co., based in Truesdale, Mo., and operating 59 FastLane convenience stores. The retailer has 17 car wash locations and one FastLane Truck Wash location, which offers truckers, campers, fleets and more an automatic wash experience. There are both attended and unattended wash options.
FastLane has three levels of car wash subscriptions and in May 2023, it announced the addition of a truck wash subscription option — the first in its region. The chain partners with Liquid Barcodes Inc., a global loyalty and digital marketing technology company that specializes in the convenience and foodservice industries, for its subscription offerings.
A Subscription Model
In addition to offering single wash packages carrying various price points, some c-stores are opting to offer car wash subscriptions of varying levels, allowing for unlimited washes and including add-ons such as washing tires, waxing or internal cleaning, depending on the level chosen, according to Saurabh Swarup, chief rainmaker at Liquid Barcodes, based in Fairfax, Va.
At FastLane, the chain's three subscription plans are: Protect, Shine and Clean. These plans can be purchased directly from the FastLane app, as well as setting up an individual wash.
"The same thing can be taken to the next level with family plans so, instead of each person in a family signing up for a plan, they can purchase a family plan and then add members," Swarup noted.
Retailers offering subscriptions get the advantage of guaranteed monthly income, while customers get to pay one fee for their monthly car washes — which is charged each month to the card on file.
Another option growing in popularity is prepaid washes, which targets those not wanting to commit to a recurring payment, said Swarup. This can still be done through an app, but the customer pays upfront at a discounted rate rather than an autorenewal plan.
"Starting with prepaid packages at a lower price, such as 10 for the price of eight, is actually a good way to get customers into the fold of a recurring subscription," he said. "It allows them to test the waters first."
In addition to individual and family subscription plans, c-stores also have the option of offering business plans. Similar to a family plan, a company can sign up a number of its drivers or vehicles and link them to the same plan for unlimited washes each month.
"Business plans can give [retailers] access to a new set of customers, and a business can link a fleet of 20 cars to an account, for example," Swarup said. "Some of our retail customers offer this as well as truck wash subscriptions for fleets of trucks."
He also pointed out that when it comes to "unlimited," there is often a cap or limit that's imposed on each 30-day period despite the terminology. Some operators cap it at 30 washes a month, knowing a user will not come every day to wash their vehicle.
For those retailers with a proprietary branded app and loyalty program, many are incorporating their car and truck washes into them so that customers can access all services on the property from one point while earning loyalty points.
"Customers earn points at Love's Truck Wash locations just as they do at Love's Truck Care or when they purchase items or fuel at the travel stops," said Price. "Customers can also redeem points at all Love's Truck Wash locations."

Ceramic Car Coating Yes Or No
Primarily composed of silica and titanium dioxide these two substances together form a covalent bond that is hydrophobic in nature and forms a nano ceramic shield above the vehicle s clear coat. It is pricy bec most detailers will have to do a full paint corrections before applying ceramic coating.
Sealants and waxes sit on top of the paint as a sacrificial layer that breaks down pretty quickly is not chemical resistant and offers no additional strength to the paint.
Ceramic car coating yes or no. Nano coatings are different as they are nano particles of either quartz most or ceramic few. By definition a ceramic coating is an auto detailing product used to protect interior and exterior surfaces from common blemish causing materials. Even on a brand new car a clay bar and light polish will get you the best coating.
I d say you could probably get away with a thorough cleaning and clay bar then apply. In many cases ceramic coating your paint is absolutely worth the price. One of the most rational reasons why you should go for ceramic coating for your car instead of car waxing is that ceramic coating gives you 10x better protection than car wax.
It really comes down to how you use and care for it. A good ceramic coating enhances the reflective properties of your car s paint and clear coat adding to the depth and clarity of your paint. As we said at the outset a ceramic coating will add value to your vehicle.
When ceramic coating is applied on a car s body the polymer forms a chemical bonding with the factory paint. I did mine in less than 2 hrs but my paint was perfect. Coatings aren t for every car or owner though.
A ceramic coating will provide you with better protection than any sealant or wax while enhancing the gloss and keeping your car cleaner longer. The chemicals most often used for this nano bond are silicon dioxide silica or sio2 titanium dioxide nano tio2 activated fluorine polysilazane triethanolamine and water. Furthermore the ceramic coating has the liquid polymer that indulges with the car paint to provide your car with an unprecedented and long lasting shine.
It provides great protection against contaminants and minor scratches all while making the vehicle much easier to clean up. If you want the best possible look a light polish would be a good idea. Ceramic coatings or nano coatings work better for a few reasons.
Highly recommended as others stated. The ceramic coating didn t hide them but they didn t prevent the application from working. If your car s paint isn t damaged or if you do not have any swirl marks ceramic coating is way easier than applying a coat of wax.
If you want your paint to pop with gloss you will want to add a ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings or nano ceramic coatings are made up of chemicals that help bond the liquid to your car s surface. Ceramic coating is a clear coat which includes a liquid polymer.
Once coated it can.

The computer optimized tread profile improves the all weather traction by providing road grip on dry, wet and winter surfaces.
The four circumferential grooves and the rib type shoulder design disperse water and avoid hydroplaning.

The special tire compound absorbs the road shock and lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin.
The two wide steel belts and the high stiffness bead improve the steering responsiveness and precision.

It’s time for your car's service again - so where do you take your car? The same garage as before - although last time you were worried you were overcharged. Here at BookMyGarage we have 4 garages in Horley for you to choose from, all rated by other car owners and offering fixed prices for their services. You can compare labour rates too, helpful if you’re thinking of additional car repairs you might need. We display transparent prices for car services, but you might want to consider calling our expert mechanics 03304 00 44 39 for independent and unbiased advice if you think you need a costly repair.
What do you think about when choosing a garage for your service?
How do you choose where to take your car for its annual check-up? Do you ask family and friends for advice and recommendations? Or perhaps you just pull in at the first open garage you see and hope for the best? Well, now there’s a better way. At BookMyGarage we’ve worked hard to provide an authoritative comparison site where you can instantly weigh up the garage options in Horley. Compare local garages’ prices, speed and quality of service, and customer reviews and then complete your booking at a fixed price, at the time of your choice. It’s that easy!
When should you get your car serviced?
Do you know how often you should get your car serviced and what type of service you need? There is no hard and fast rule - it depends on the model of car you have and its age. You should find this information in your car owner’s manual. If you’re not sure, enter your mileage on BookMyGarage and we’ll help you decide. As a general recommendation, you should be taking your car for a Full Service every 12 months (or 12,000 miles) and a Major Service every couple of years (or 24,000 miles). If you’re regularly travelling far beyond Horley for work or to visit relatives, or you have a car with known issues, it’s worth getting an Interim Service every 6 months (or 6,000 miles).
What is a common car problem to look out for?
Now and again you might find it hard to turn the steering wheel or, worse, it might lock altogether. This is clearly a problem with the steering but it can have several different causes. Start by checking the power steering fluid levels - there may be a leak. Other causes might be a slipped steering pump belt, damage to the hose that connects to the power steering pump or to the rack and pinion seals. Steering problems that aren’t related to power steering might be the result of unequal tyre pressure, worn steering gear bearings, or loose steering linkage. If you can’t easily identify the cause, or can but aren’t sure how to fix it, BookMyGarage will show you garages in Horley which can help with this type of problem.
How can you save money (and the environment) while you drive?
As every garage owner will tell you, there are some tried and tested ways to cut down on your petrol costs (and consumption) while you’re out and about in Horley or beyond. One is to shut your windows. If you can hear that wind noise in your car it’s costing you more to drive. This is because the car becomes less aerodynamic and has to work harder to motor along. Removing a roof rack will improve your fuel efficiency for the same reason. Another useful tip is to combine short trips into one; each time you drive after your car has been parked for a while the engine will be cold and need to use a lot more fuel for the first 5 miles or so. If you do one trip from school drop-off to supermarket to office you’ll use far less fuel than if you do all those trips individually.
