Vehicle wraps are a great way to advertise your business, and if properly cared for, they should last as long as your vehicle does. The professionals at Bitterroot Screen Printers in Kalispell, MT, specialize in custom advertising products, including vehicle wraps. They recommend customers extend the life of their vehicle wraps through regular cleaning.

By taking special care during cleaning, you’ll preserve the shine and vibrancy of your wrap:

• Regular Cleaning: If you live in urban or mountain areas, it’s important to keep your car and wrap clean to eliminate the damage done by pollution and UV rays. Cleaning it at least once a month can remove trapped pollutants and add UV protection.
• Use Mild Detergents: The best method of protecting your vehicle wrap is to clean it by hand using water, a sponge, and a gentle soap or detergent. Don’t use a detergent that has abrasive components or alcohol, and only use one with a low pH balance.
• Avoid High Water Pressure: If you’re using a water spray to clean your vehicle, keep the nozzle at least a foot away from the car at all times, using no more than 1200 psi for water pressure. Don’t spray too long, and try to keep the nozzle angled perpendicular to the graphics to prevent the edges from lifting.
• Let It Dry Naturally: You can risk damaging the vehicle wrap by accidentally using an abrasive towel to dry your car after a cleaning. If you must dry it by hand, use a soft, non-abrasive towel and be careful around the edges of the wrap.
