Thank you for choosing ServiceWraps. Your vehicle wrap is a premium finish designed to showcase your brand. With proper care and maintenance, your wrap can provide years of effective advertising and maintain its vibrant appearance. Please review the enclosed care guidelines carefully. They contain important instructions for preserving the finish, ensuring long-term durability, and protecting your warranty coverage.
• Wash whenever the car appears dirty. Contaminants allowed to remain on the graphic may be more difficult to remove during cleaning.
• Rinse off as much dirt and grit as possible with a spray of water.
• Use a wet, non-abrasive detergent such as 3M™ Car Wash Soap 39000 or Meguiar’s NXT Generation® Car Wash or Deep Crystal® Car Wash and a soft, clean cloth or sponge. (Do not use cleaners with ammonia or bleach)
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To reduce water spotting, immediately use a silicone squeegee to remove water and finish with a clean microfiber cloth.
• 3M does not recommend using wax or other similar coatings on vehicle graphics.
Vinyl wraps may be run through car washes. Touch-less car washes are the best for graphic care. Use of brush car washes (depending upon the frequency and quality of brush) may cause dulling/scratching/lifting edge of the graphics.
Although hand washing is the preferred cleaning method, pressure washing may be used under these conditions.
• Ensure the water pressure is kept below 2000 psi (14 Mpa).
• Keep water temperature below 180 °F (80 °C).
• 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 graphic.
• Holding the nozzle of a pressure washer at an angle to graphic may lift the edges of the film.
Wipe off immediately to avoid degrading the vinyl and adhesive. Then wash, rinse and dry as in "Wash Regularly".
Vinyl graphics (just like paint) are degraded by prolonged exposure to sun and atmospheric pollutants, particularly on
horizontal surfaces such as a hood, trunk lid, and roof. Whenever possible, store in a garage or at least in a shaded
area during the day. At night protect the car from dew or rain, which may contain acidic pollutants (a common problem
in many large metropolitan areas). When a garage is not available, consider using a cloth car cover at night.
If you see part of your vehicle graphic lifting or peeling back, you must contact us immediately so we can fix the problem. If you leave such issues unattended, you will void the warranty on your wrap. All claims must be made within the 12 month warranty time frame and are subject to approval by a ServiceWraps authorized representative.
