Winter Tips for Vinyl Car Wrap
As we get ready for winter, there are things we must do to prepare for the weather. Certain tasks like oil change, tune-up, and tire pressure are all basic maintenance we need to do. However, when your car has a vinyl wrap, there are some extra precautions we must take during winter. You want to ensure that the wrap does not get damaged due to inclement weather.
Car
maintenance can be a major expense. Since you invested in the car vinyl wrap,
it's best to find ways to maintain the great design and prevent damage to your
finish. The beauty of the car vinyl wrap is promoting your business or idea.
This makes it crucial to practice proper maintenance of your design during the
harsh weather of winter. Here are some things that you can do to protect your
investment.
Clean Your Car ASAP
As we face
snow and ice, it is important to frequently clean your car to reduce exposure
to inclement weather. Hand washing is best for your vinyl
wrap, since power washing or a car wash, will weaken the wrap. This should be
done twice a week.
Say No to Salt for the Wrap's Health
When it comes
to winter weather, we can expect to see salt on the roads to clear snowy and
icy roads. It is important to clean salt from under
your car.
If the salt is not cleaned from the car, the salt creates discoloration to the
wrap. Salt can also corrode the vinyl and paint as well. This corrosion causes
further damage to your car in general if it goes unchecked.
Melt the Ice from Inside the Car
To remove ice
and snow from your perforated or solid vinyl, put on your window
defroster.
The defroster will melt the ice and snow without damaging your design. The ice
scraper and shovels will damage or scratch your design. Use a snow brush to
remove snow and ice as well from the car. It is also helpful to use a broom or
soft cloth to remove the snow and ice from the car.
The Main Steps for Your Vinyl Wrap during Winter
These tips
can protect your vinyl design during the harsh winters. It might seem like a
lot if you are used to going to a car wash on a weekly basis. It's so important
to take the necessary precautions to reduce car expenses. So, remember to clean
salt immediately, and remove snow and ice with a broom, soft cloth, or brush.
These tips will keep your vinyl wrap looking fresh a lot longer. If your wrap
is a business logo, it maintains the quality of your brand as well.
