WHAT IS CAR WRAPPING?
Car wrapping is the process of applying a film to the exterior of a car’s body in order to change the way it looks. Car wrapping can be done in just certain sections of the car, like the bonnet or roof, or the entire car itself. In either case it is used advertisement purposes or as a way to change the colour of your car without actually touching the paint underneath.
Car wrap is a vinyl material very similar to what’s used for window clings. Its composition makes it an ideal material because it withstands the impact from minor road debris, is resistant to scratching, and can handle intense heat and sunlight. As a matter of fact, when you wrap an entire car from bumper-to-bumper it protects the paint underneath from any harm, essentially increasing the resale value of the vehicle.
HOW THEY DO IT
The process of applying car wrap is fairly simple, though it takes patience and practice to become a skilled technician. The application begins by thoroughly washing and drying the vehicle, making sure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, oil and grease, and loose rust particles. The technician then chooses the first piece he is going to work on and lays it in place. From there he peels off the backing while also slowly positioning the vinyl into its final position.
In order to remove air bubbles and wrinkles the technician uses a small, hand-held squeegee to work them out. Choosing a starting point and always working out from there, the technician continues working the squeegee until the vinyl is completely free of bubbles and wrinkles. A heat gun is used to loosen the material when the technician is working the vinyl around curved areas or covering parts like mirrors and bumpers.
