🚿 Step 1: Preparing the Vehicle
A clean, well-prepared surface ensures a flawless vinyl wrap! 🏆
1️⃣ Wash Your Vehicle Thoroughly 🧼
- Use a pH-neutral car shampoo to remove dirt and contaminants.
- Dry the car completely with a microfiber towel. 🏁
2️⃣ Clay Bar the Surface 🏗️
- This removes embedded contaminants that may cause bubbles under the wrap.
3️⃣ Alcohol Wipe Down 🍶
- Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to remove any oils or residues.
- Pay extra attention to creases and edges. 🧐
4️⃣ Remove Any Obstructions 🔧
- Take off badges, emblems, mirrors, or door handles if possible for a seamless wrap.
5️⃣ Park in a Dust-Free Area 🏠
- A garage with temperature control is ideal. ❄️🔥
- Ensure proper lighting for precise application. 💡
📌 Step 2: Applying the Wrap
Now that your car is prepped, it’s time to install your WrapsRus Vinyl Wrap! 🎯
🛑 A. Positioning the Vinyl
1️⃣ Measure and Cut – Cut the vinyl wrap slightly larger than the panel size. 2️⃣ Position the Wrap – Peel the backing film carefully while aligning the wrap with the panel. 3️⃣ Use Masking Tape – Tape edges for better positioning and stability. ✅
🖌️ B. Applying the Wrap
1️⃣ Start from the center and work outward. 🌀 2️⃣ Use firm, even strokes with a squeegee to smooth the wrap and remove air bubbles. 💨 3️⃣ Hold the vinyl taut to prevent wrinkles. 🏁
🔥 C. Heating and Stretching the Wrap
1️⃣ Use a heat gun to soften the wrap and allow it to stretch over curves. 🔥 2️⃣ Do not overheat! Too much heat can warp the vinyl. ⚠️ 3️⃣ Wrap the edges under the panel for a clean, professional finish. 👀

🔧 Step 3: Post-Installation Care
✅ Avoid washing your car for 48 hours to allow full adhesion. 🕒 ✅ Hand wash only – No automatic car washes! 🚫🚗 ✅ Use WrapsRus-approved vinyl wrap sealants for added durability. 💎 ✅ Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the edges. ⚠️
