How to prepare a car for wrapping
- Wash your car
- Remove stubborn stains
- Degrease the lacquer
Washing the car before wrapping
Make sure your car is thoroughly washed before applying advertising stickers to your car. A visit to a touchless car wash is not enough. A pressure washer will not remove all dried dirt. Hand washing is necessary.
If possible, do not use wax or shampoos with wax. Waxing the paintwork can reduce the sticker’s adhesion on your car.
Stubborn stains
During daily use, dirt adheres to the paintwork and is difficult to remove. Brake shavings, tyre residue and asphalt particles are barely visible on the paintwork, but once the ad has been applied, they will create a marking on the film that will be conspicuous. To remove them, it is best to use a special chemical or special clay for cleaning paint.
How do I degrease the paintwork before wrapping the car?
It is best to degrease the paintwork before wrapping with a microfibre cloth and extraction benzine. Extraction gasoline will not damage your paintwork. Alternatively, you can also use dishwashing liquid but remember to rinse the residue thoroughly and dry the paintwork.
How to stick an advertisement on a car
The ambient temperature is an important factor that can make wrapping a car difficult or even impossible. It is best to apply the stickers to the car at room temperature in the shade. Never wrap your car when the temperature is below 7℃ and don’t do it in direct sunlight. Also try to find a place that is not exposed to strong winds. In winter, the only option is to use the insulated garage. There is also no getting around heating the sticker with a heat gun.
How to stick ads on a car step by step
Position the sticker in the right place and stick the beginning of the transport film. This is the moment when you can still make adjustments to the positioning of your advertisement on the car.
Gradually peel back the backing paper and apply the advertisement. Do not apply the sticker all at once, as this will leave air bubbles under the film.
Slowly peel off the transfer film. Peel off the film at a high angle and do it slowly so that you don’t accidentally peel off the freshly applied sticker.
If it is cold before removing the film, heat the sticker with a heat gun.
Depending on the ambient temperature, your sticker will only achieve full adhesion after a certain period of time. For this reason, it is best not to wash the car after applying the sticker for several days. Also pay attention to whether the edges of the film are peeling off. In this case, it may be necessary to heat the film with a heat gun.
