Ahh another good one !! Here's a Kool word to spice your presentation up even more , i just made up , letting other's and teaching , PIP , not picture in picture , but , prep is patience , thank's again , John , Harwinton Connecticut USA
I'm still yet to watch every single one of your videos but I love the good info I know the video is about 4 years old but still very Up-to-date Thank you keep the videos coming
Thank you sopp much for thi video. It's either prepimg thr csr with sanding it down. And using black paint. Guessing to cover white spots. The first video that actually I informative. And step by step.
Thanks for the video! I have always used 2 different buckets for wheels and car like you do. I also use another 2 buckets of clean water to rinse the brushes, wash mitts, etc before dunking them back in the wash buckets. Keeps all the crap you clean off the car from getting in your clean wash waters.
Morning, Had an odd question semi off topic. I'm wrapping a vinyl graphic around a Fender Strat guitar. I know that your focus is cars not guitars. But, perhaps you have an idea on how to best approach wrapping the tight radius on the guitar horns without creating the "bottle capping" effect? I'm just throwing this strange one out there? I have knifeless tape, heat gun, etc... Thanks
Hi. Thanks for another very informative video. My question is if I have a car with a badly chipped front bumper, can I water paper sand the bumper before wrapping to get a perfect finish? Obviously it will need respraying if I remove the wrap, but would it help to flat it down a bit to achieve a good finish? Thanks again. Rudi (South Africa)
I actually just warped my Infiniti Q50 and had the worst time with the front bumper. It would be awesome for you to show how you did it. I did mine in pieces..... sadly. The bumpers killed me. Thank you!
Good video. Great tips! Thanks. Bummer about the redo. You could have come back and just recorded audio to put over the video. But I’m happy to have a 12 minute video that covers the same tips.
So I was trying to fix some chips before my install as I can feel them with my finger, so ill see them after the wrap. Just had the car hand washed to remove last washes wax. Got it home and hit it with Isoprop on a microfiber to prep for the chip fix and it looked like a film of cold bacon grease everywhere I wiped. Just a white greasy mess I was pushing around. Took forever to get it off with damp iso microfib. Is this just waxy residue left over and im assuming a bottle of water and dawn dishwashing det will remove it ya?
It's so difficult to find straight answers on the internet now, this guy says he uses IPA but yet other videos say it's an absolute no as it swells clear coat, dilute to 12% etc. So now I'm scared to use anything on my new motorbike!! I also do wonder if these wrap companies have done the research 😬
Good way to figure this stuff out is on a website “WePrintWraps.com” they print customers wraps as well as have a PDF file with the amount of wrap you’ll need.
If the clear coat is still intact, you can buff and polish the clear coat to get the shine back. However if the clear coat is gone you have no choice but to repaint or wrap the car
What is a good alternative to isopropyl alcohol for films that recommend not usimg it to prep the surface? For example with the Avery ColorFlow film they state on their site do not use isopropyl alcohol before applying the film.
If you’re going to vinyl wrap over it… just wet sand it smooth, vinyl is like… painting a wall that has repaired holes in it. Itll be smooth where the holes were repaired, and have normal texture in the paint, if you just wet sand your failed clear coat, (until it feels smooth to the touch) you will not be able to see the imperfection over the wrap. But. Any imperfection will show under the wrap. Including… cracks, texture, a drastic level change (anything you can feel a ‘lip’ sometimes even only 1/32”) and of course.. dirt or debris. Literally a grain of sand will be noticeable. Sorry I noticed this comment and it was already years later :(
I still watch these and laugh because wait till you live and Florida and you wrap cars that people drive on the beach or just in general and you will find sand EVERYWHERE even if you detail the entire car sand will fall out of everywhere
I’m unable to find 70% Isopropyl Alcohol anywhere near me due to the pandemic. But I did find a TON of bottles of 50% at the 99c Store of all places. Would 50% be adequate enough to use before laying down vinyl? Thanks for any help.
Doesn’t anyone use polishing compound with an orbital polisher anymore? Why has everyone switched to rubbing cars by hand with clay bars??? That’s like...WORK. 🧐

I wish you had a link to your Prepping supplies like other video
Thank you dude

Really interested to see how the vinyl covers up the stone chipped bumper.
You would see every rock chip.
Question do you charge this as a separate fee or included in your wrap price?
Hey man how did you find the space that your in for the video? What did you google to find it? Im looking for one‼️
Can you do paint correction before a wrap?
Good job bro
Good video. Great tips! Thanks. Bummer about the redo. You could have come back and just recorded audio to put over the video. But I’m happy to have a 12 minute video that covers the same tips.
Do you mix in water with the isopropyl alcohol?
Hellon. At what temperature you use the heat gun
where would you get a clay rag?
hey bro , where can purchase this vinly wrap from

Dish soap is good at removing wax
are the rock chips going to show on the wrap ?
what about nicks and dings on the car?
It's so difficult to find straight answers on the internet now, this guy says he uses IPA but yet other videos say it's an absolute no as it swells clear coat, dilute to 12% etc. So now I'm scared to use anything on my new motorbike!!

do you window tint or is that too easy? lol
Dang wish I watched this before I wrapped my car! I had to do a redo in a spot cuz wasn't this thorough. Good info as usual
Love your videos. Very helpful. I'm going to try and wrap my Harley davidson street glide motorcycle. Any tip info?
i have a vrod I want to cover
Hey, can you do a video on measuring how much material you need for a wrap???
I have always found that it is usually the amount you estimate plus another 5 feet lol
Good way to figure this stuff out is on a website “WePrintWraps.com” they print customers wraps as well as have a PDF file with the amount of wrap you’ll need.
Quick question! Is there any specific special way to prep paint that is faded or oxidized by the Sun?
If the clear coat is still intact, you can buff and polish the clear coat to get the shine back. However if the clear coat is gone you have no choice but to repaint or wrap the car
How much for a job like that one?
Where to get a clay rag from?
Is that 100% isopropyl or did you mix it with water or something?
Does anyone know that he use any adhesion promoter or he just use the Isopropyl Alcohol?
What is a good alternative to isopropyl alcohol for films that recommend not usimg it to prep the surface? For example with the Avery ColorFlow film they state on their site do not use isopropyl alcohol before applying the film.
I used isopropyl and it's been fine with their colorflow
CK Wraps ok thanks Christian for the quick response! Diggin your vids brother keep them coming! 👍👍
Question about rubbing alcohol,Which one better, 75% or 99%?

When you say isopropyl alcohol, do you mean neat 99.9%?

Thanks for replying man, appreciate it!

Ventilation air scrubbers
what if the clear coat is coming off?

Yes that'll do the job, not as well but it'll work.
If you use 100% isopropanol, not that 70/30 bullshit, you wont have to worry about evaporation. Whats being leftover is the water, use 100% IPA.
That bumper looks like a total bastard to wrap
Very thorough i will be using these tips to wrap my car and destroy it lmao hopefully not
100% the bumper has been painted... in the video it appears that the colors are not even close to matching.
Doesn’t anyone use polishing compound with an orbital polisher anymore? Why has everyone switched to rubbing cars by hand with clay bars??? That’s like...WORK. 🧐
Shavin McCrotch it decontaminates the paint anything that washing doesn't pick up ... do that b4 anything else .
Lol do not use dish soap. It strips grease but that's what your car needs to have on it to stay healthy 😂
The ONLY right time to use dish soap is for a pre wrap on a clear coat. Single stage paint; NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!
Remember Corey Taylor from Stone Sour & Slipknot? This is him now. Feel old yet?
Omg bro get to the point. Just fast forward to last 2 min of video. The rest was not needed
Isn’t tac solution alcohol? Or is tac just ipa diluted with water?
