Will weather affect my car wrap?

Yes. Weather conditions can impact the appearance and lifespan of a car wrap over time. Professional-grade vehicle wrap materials are engineered and tested to withstand common environmental exposure, including sunlight, heat, rain, and cold. However, prolonged exposure to the elements can accelerate wear.

How different weather conditions affect car wraps:

• Sun and UV exposure: Constant sunlight can cause fading or discoloration over time, especially in darker or highly saturated colors. UV exposure is the primary factor in wrap aging.
• Heat: High temperatures can soften the vinyl, which may reduce lifespan if the vehicle is consistently parked outdoors.
• Cold: Extreme cold does not typically damage a wrap, but it can make the material more brittle if impacted.
• Rain and moisture: Normal rain exposure is not harmful, but standing water and environmental contaminants should be cleaned regularly.

How to protect your car wrap from weather damage:

• Store your vehicle indoors or in shaded areas whenever possible
• Wash the vehicle regularly using wrap-safe cleaning methods
• Remove bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime promptly
• Follow manufacturer care and maintenance guidelines

With proper care, storage, and regular cleaning, a professionally installed car wrap can maintain its appearance and performance for several years, even in challenging weather conditions.
