The best protection I have found for my cars that are wrapped is Optimum Opti-Coat Pro. Makes the wrap much easier to clean( matte in particular) and protects it agianst UV and chemicals.
I`m using 3M Car Wash Soap for my black matte wrapped car.
Works great and its a non aggressive soap.
Great video !. Bird poop is the worse and if you don't clean it right away can damage the vinyl or stain it, specially in summer time, from my experience I had to use black magic wax to cover the stains that I couldn't remove with alcohol . My recommendation to who ever wants to wrap a car is to keep the car indoors or garage, I used Avery 900 series a year ago for a costumer, his car was always outdoors he said, N.Y.'s weather is drastic so the vinyl faded, in just one year. I wash my car with a power wash machine and dry it by hand and then I use black magic liquid wax but I apply it to a microfiber rag, so the whole intention is just to protect the vinyl with a thin layer of wax, not recommendable in summer time (it might leave stains)
Didn't even know this was a thing till today. Interested in testing it out on my pathfinder. Thank you for the tips i downloaded the sheet in advance. Will be ordering your wraps
Perfect, using wax on gloss wraps is all I wanted to know.
I use 3m show car paste wax for my vynil wrap.. looks its amazing, gloss , wet look, and protect from UV or hard water
So, for matte hoods such as my 2017 Camaro 1LE we can only wash it?
No protection available?
these are great chris

Thanks for the video!
Hi
Chris which of the maguire products can I use on satin black please? To give it shine and protect against scratches
I have two very small chips on my hood in the matte wrap on my Tesla. How should I repair them? I was thinking of putting very small drops of plasti dip to seal it and preventing it from spreading. Thoughts?
so how do you fix scratches in matte or satin finished vinyl wraps please
Have anyone ever tried inventing a multi-layer car wrap? One that has different colors underneath and a customer can just easily peel away the top layer to reveal a different color of their choice that they ordered for the multi-layer wrap? Would be a great idea. Imagine. You get to changed the color of your car in minutes if you want a change in color without having to apply a new vinyl wrap with a new color every time. Thumbs up so 3M can see this and try to make this idea a reality.
Hi I recently got my car wrapped by my friend I got 3m Matte dark Gray,
he said for the first 3 months I should wash the dirty spots with a spray bottle 50% water an 50% alcohol. Spray the car and then remove the liquid with a micro fiber cloth.
Would you recommend this?
What can be used to touch up 3M 2080 gloss black wrap? Windex with a paper towel will put marks in it. Any ideas? Thanks!
cheers chris Brian Perth Scotland
Hello. I'm thinking of the 3M Satin Black wrap for my vehicle. What do you recommend to protect it? Obviously don't want a matte or a gloss finish...
I have a camaro with flat matte hood wrap but the hood got some stubborn water spots ,can I use the meguiars natural shine wipes on the hood to hide the spots, I understand that it will make it more shiny and I'm ok with that, my concern is would the meguiars wipes hurt the wrap ?
if my car is outside all the time without a cover, how long would the wrap last?
Hey how long did it last
what about faded wraps how can i rejuvinate it ? some say with heat gun ,others alcahol instead of changing it?
what should u use for a matte black wrap to protect from the sun?
You mentioned on wraps one can use the Marquise's quik wax, but directly on the back label, it suggests NOT to use on matte or satin wraps... I have a black satin wrap and am still unsure of what type of car wrap is safe. Can you recommend a wax that doesn't say NOT allowed on wraps... Thx
Hi,
My car is full matte black and I use another product to just put a protective coating on the car, But as for washing the car I have just been using water, I noticed you said to use NXT gen carwash? I just want to make sure that using this will not cause my matte black to have a gloss or damage the wrap in anyway.
I had my car wrapped matte white about 3 months ago. I have some slight dark discoloration from daily use below the doors along the bottom of the car. Do you have any tips??? I love the look of the matte white, but am afraid I will never be able to get it fully clean.
welcome chris ...is there a right way of trimming the edges at doors bonnets etc
I was wondering what you would recommend to clean a Satin Wrap Carbon Fiber
I have few scratches on my front bumper. Should I just clean it then wrap it? How should I smoothen the surface?
Hi There,
I've had the roof of my car wrapped in a gloss black 3M vinyl wrap and noticed that some lines (look like thin scratch marks) from the installation process. Is there a way to remove the marks? i.e Polish or wax? My white paint is in great shape and would like to make sure the gloss black wrap pops and shines with minimal imperfections.
Thank you, and great video!

When it comes to applying wraps is there a "dye lot" or batch difference in color? If I needed to replace a panel later would the color of the replacement vinyl be noticeably different?
What about cleaning with an alcohol water mix after soap and water wash?
Hi you say use meguiars gold class premium liquid wax as per manufacturer... when I checked the instructions on the bottle says keep off vinyl what are you comments on this.. I went and purchased this specially after watching your video please advise
Thanx for the response mine has the gloss finish vinyl so should be good to use
Hello, I looked in several places about exposure to the sun during a spring/summer day and cannot find specifics..how long exactly IS prolonged exposure to the sun?
At my University, I park wherever there is an available spot, which is sometimes right under the sun, and the car can remain there for the start of mid-day to sun-down...
Would doing that 4x a week be considered high exposure?
ArmanGhotra I live in Texas and I was wondering the same thing. Did you find the answer to your question? Thanks.

I have a car wrapped recently in 3m satin pearl white. I cleaned off day old bird droppings and noticed a slight discolouration (Orange/pink). How can I clean it off?
If a car wash accidentally waxed my satin black wrap hood will it mess up the wrap?
If there is a tear is there any way to fix it or I have to take it off and wrap it again?

Has anybody tried taking a vinyl trim restoring product to it?? If so were you happy with the results or if no, why is that maybe not a good idea to try?
I got some engine old stain on the 3m matt orange wrap. What should I do? Would that be permanent?
My hood and trunk are wrapped in matte black, whenever I apply water on it, I can see water spots/ streaks all over them, and they tend to disappear when it's dry. Can I do something about this?
Hello. Can you recommend me a product to clean and buff my 3M clear wrap? My entire car is wrapped with clear 3M to protect from rock chips ect. I need to know how to polish it up.
3mcg. What if you put a polish or your matte vinyl wrap and there is a white haze? anything to reverse that? even if it makes semi glossy? thanks
someone washed my car in a car wash and my carbon fiber got hazy white from the wax. I've tried simple Green and i can't fix it. any suggestions?
Did you manage to sort it?
I have very small door dings that you can only see at some angles. Will the 3m hide these door dings?
matte black would hide them better vs a gloss black paint, but they'll still be noticable.
+lol thanks, I will be using matte blue and I will be putting a test piece on tomorrow to see how it goes
What can we use to clean Matte vinyl to last longer??

Hi,,how abouit 3M 1080 Satin Pearl White wrap ? how to maintain it ?
Is 3M wax comparable to meguiers?
It's been 3 years since I wrapped my car in satin black and now the roof and the trunk is kind of fading or it seems like stains. Any trick that you might have to rejuvenate, restore that type of vinyl? Thanks!
Maybe go over it with satin black spray paint, might even out with the vinyl's faded color, and you'd only be painting the vinyl, not your car.
How would you get off a petrol stain? I have tried letting simple green sit for 5 minutes and 70%isopropyl to wipe off but no luck. I have a matte wrap and I wiped it off immediately but it seems to stained instantaneously...
Commercial Graphics and what about smoke from exhaust, i have a pearl white wrap and have tough time cleaning smoke dirt from bumper, any sugestions?
OK, question. I'm planning on wrapping my car matte black, right now it's gloss black. When we arrive to car shows we usually clean it down with meguiars ultimate quick detailer to make sure it's show ready. Would I still use that on a matte black wrap? Is there another option to spot clean at car shows?
Thank you!!
Any body ever have over spray in the surface of matte black before? The over spray I have is from a body shop repair on a fender, and the auto paint is on the hood surface which is covered by the matte black. Is it ruined and need to be replaced?
To follow up; I took your instruction and applied damp heat. I found the area small and not real thick with clear waterborne paint. Used the Florida sun to get the matte black wrap material hot. Soaked a clean lint free towel with water alcohol solution and laid the towel over the paint. I have been trying goo gone adhesive remover, recently so after about five min. sun vs. wet towel I prep another rag with very small amount of adhesive remover and wiped it across the paint. With a spray bottle of water alcohol instantly sprayed the wiped area neutralizing the remover. Repeat one more time and paint was gone. And no blemish to the wrap. Car was delivered customer was happy and the body shop was too. I'm not saying it was prefect, but what was once matte blk (new) gloss blk (paint overspray) and back to matte blk. Just some of the things a tech needs to know on the fly. Still it all started with your tips. Thanks.
Will the paint be just as it was once the wrap is removed?
Commercial Graphics Brand new BMW 5-Series Jet Black, I am leasing it. Thanks for the reply.
Do you suggest any other products to care for florescent vinyl?
Keep it out of the sun as much as possible (fluorescent pigments fade easily) use a good quality car wax to provide UV protection.
great, so in Florida I'm screwed....lol
Hi, whats the best way to wash a chrome gold wrap?
Thank you
Can I wash it using dish washing liquid?
Never use dish soap on a car. It will destroy a clear coat.
I applied wax to my matte black wraps on my Dodge Challenger and it turned them into a shiny surface. My car has a black shine to it and you can barely see the matte black wraps now. Is there anyway that I can take the wax off the matte black wraps to give it a matte finish once again?
Wrap is the same as paint. The same things that hurt the paint hurt the wrap.
Can I pressure wash my wrapped car?
+NumNaughts not recommend but yes u can,
+NumNaughts just from farther away than you would with paint.
There is no direction on how to clean matte finishes other than Hot soapy water.
พูดมาก
chemical guys is better

I liked the video until you mentioned meguiars. I have spent 20 years building show cars and trying many brands of car cleaner. Meguiars is at the bottom of that list. Far from a quality cleaner. Other than that, a good video.
which is the best
I cleaned my hood that has black vinyl on it and something scrapped across it and now it won't come off. Is there anything I can use to fix this? Some kind of cleaner.
