Vehicle Wrapping Blog - Wrapvehicles Manchester - How do I wash my wrapped car?

Posted under Car wrapping on

At Wrapvehicles.co.uk we recommend hand washing your wrapped vehicle to ensure it lasts as long as it should. Jet washing can be carried out but is not recommend and can jeopardise your vehicle wraps warranty. All it takes is a ill advised valeter to jet wash your wrap too close or apply too much jet pressure to a join in the wrap and it can damage it and require a replacement piece of vinyl wrap. This is why we recommend hand washing for all of our vehicle wraps, no matter if we have installed them ourselves or a DIY installation has been made.

Washing a wrapped car can vary from whether you have installed the vinyl wraps yourself or had them professionally installed. Here at Wrapvehicles we recommend that you hand wash your vehicle if it has been professionally installed as this means you are unlikely to damage the wrap. However if you have purchased a DIY kit and carried out yourself then it may be beneficial to use a soft cloth, mild soap and water so long as you do not rub too hard or leave any streaks or smear marks, or apply too much pressure onto your vehicle.Your car wrap will last longer when you regularly wash your vehicle with a suitable car wash product. For vinyl wrap, we recommend using Croftgate USA's waterless car wash products which are specifically designed for use on wrapped cars. With a range of different cleaning products available, you'll be able to find one that suits your budget and needs.

Wrapping a car is an investment, and what you wash your wrap with can make a big difference to how long it lasts. Many of the products available from retailers or suppliers are not suitable for use on vinyl wraps, and can actually create swirls and damage to the protective layer. If you're looking to keep your car wrap looking its best, choosing only waterless car washes that have been specially formulated for vinyl wraps will help ensure it stays in tip top condition.

One of the most common questions we get asked is how to wash a vinyl wrapped car. It’s not as simple as it sounds – you need to think about not only the paint but also the vinyl wrap as well and treat it with appropriate care. We’re here to help!

Having handled the full wrapping of this bus and updating its interior and upholstery we were given the task of turning it into a “mobile BBQ joint”. To do this we brought in our metalworker to help craft a bespoke BBQ station out of stainless steel. This area allowed for installation of a high end BBQ at the back of the bus on the top deck. We then added checker-plate to the floor and created a windbreak at the very rear of the bus to create a BBQ area that was resistant to wind, allowing passersby to see the chef in action at the grille

We work with some of the best in the business. For example, MeatLust turned to us for help creating a mobile BBQ restaurant on wheels.

When a Double Decker bus was bought to us for modification, we used our knowledge & expertise in vehicle upholstery and modification to carry out this upgrade. First things first we reupholstered the seating inside the bus, swapping out the garish lime green for a more refined dark grey charcoal colour. These seats we recovered in a vinyl to ensure both the downstairs and upstairs seating would be weather proof and water-resistant, a key requirement for a bus that will be serving passengers food & drinks on the move

We can make your vehicles interior look amazing. To see what else we can do for your bus please get in touch with a member of the MeatLust team for some expert advice on vehicle upholstery and modification.

We wanted our Bus Upholstery to stand out and look striking. We started by painting the interior walls in a charcoal grey to compliment the new seating and windows. Then we changed the handrails to match the vehicle wrap, which already gave it a cool pop. Finally, we added some custom artwork on the walls to give it a little more personality.

Vibrant and eye catching, this bus wrap was created for the Meat Lust event in Manchester. The client needed a custom promotional vehicle that could not only be seen, but also heard as it drove around Manchester to make their point about vegan lifestyles. With bright pink metal rust graphics and various logos scattered across this double decker parade bus it makes for a very attention grabbing design. We finished off the bus wrap with contour vision window graphics to give greater surface area to the design without compromising visibility out of these buses windows.

This bus wrap was designed to be a “pimp my ride” style vehicle wrap. The client wanted us to give their tired double decker a new look and get it noticed on the streets of London for promotional events.The design consists of bright pink laid over a metal rust pattern, logos and design elements scattered across the bus, which makes for an attention grabbing bus wrap.

Think of MeatLust as a mobile BBQ joint that refuses to conform to the traditional conventions of how food should be served. This project was a collaboration between MeatLust and Winston Creative and this bus was fully wrapped by Aaron Winston, Design Director at Winston Creative.
