Frequently Asked Questions
Window Tinting
Can the 2 front door windows be tinted?
Is there a film I can put on my front door windows?
Yes! We have a clear film with all the benefits of our dark window tint. The clear film offers UV protection, with the look of a clear window.
Will the film affect the rear screen elements?
How long before I can use my windows?
We recommend that you allow 48 - 72 hours before opening windows. This is to allow the film to dry to the glass and gives the adhesive time to cure. Please note that window film will take a lot longer to dry out and cure in winter than opposed to the summer months.
Graphics
Will the graphics damage my paintwork?
Vinyl graphics should not damage your cars surface or paintwork in any way, if it is of a “factory standard”. However, if the graphics are subject to direct sunlight then you may see a difference in colour where the graphic was when you come to remove it. This usually takes several years but will vary from car to car and according to colour.
Can I go through a car wash/pressure wash?
Vinyl graphics should be cleaned carefully with a sponge and warm soapy water then rinsed with clean water. Use a silicone squeegee to remove excess water and finish with a microfibre cloth – taking particular care at the edges of graphics. Do not use chamois leathers or cloths as these may lift and catch the finer parts and edges of the decals. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, chemicals or solvents. Automated car washes should not be used. Pressure washers may be used but ensure the water pressure is kept below 2000 psi, use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide angle spray pattern and keep the nozzle at least 1 foot away from the graphic and at 90 degrees. PLEASE NOTE: Holding the nozzle at an angle and to the side may lift the graphic.
How do I remove my graphics?
I’ve just had my car spray painted, how long should I wait before I install my graphics?
You should check directly with the body shop that painted the vehicle to see what ‘curing’ time they recommend.
Do you charge for artwork or set-up charges?
Wrapping
What is vehicle wrapping?
A vehicle wrap is the application of a high performance cast coloured vinyl or large-format, digitally printed vinyl that adheres to your vehicle’s painted surface. What this means is that you can change the colour or put virtually any photo or design that you would like on the out side of your vehicle.
How is a vehicle wrap different than paint?
Paint is permanent. Vehicle Wraps actually protect your cars painted surface, and can be removed when it comes time to trade-in, or sell your car.
Will a vehicle wrap harm my vehicles surface?
A vehicle wrap protects your paint from the harmful effects of mother nature. In addition to UV protection, the vehicle wrap will stop stone chips, scratches, harsh rain and more, and since the vehicle wrap is not permanent, your paint will look just as pristine as it did the day you dropped your car off to be wrapped. This benefits you as it will be adding resale value to your vehicle, all while standing out or promoting your business.
How much does wrapping cost?
Every vehicle is different. Cost depends on a number of factors including the amount of square footage to be wrapped, vehicle condition, whether or not wrap design is required, etc.
How long will a wrap last?
Anywhere from 3 to 5 years up to as many as 10 if installed by a professional vehicle wrap specialist. The lifespan of your vehicle wrap will depend on the quality of the vinyl and installation, the surface to which it is applied and the care given to maintenance.
Can I wash my vehicle after it’s been wrapped?
Yes, but please: Hand Wash Only. You must avoid high pressure hand held washers and car washes. They can cause peeling by driving water under the vinyl.
