    in my personal experience, it is vital to use either ceramic coating or occasionally using some sort of vinyl restoration product to bring back vitality. Sun damage is definitely #1 and IF you park your wrapped vehicle in the same spot and same position every day, you risk having more damage to one side or part of the wrap and not others, creating noticeable fading or discoloration depending of the type of Wrap involved (color-changing wraps tend to change colors or go black eventually ). just a heads up for those of you without garages.

The level of detail and the time that you spent (days? a week?) on your own vehicle was impressive. I imagine that your paying customers get even better treatment.

    I had this problem with the roof on my Kia. The Avery vinyl I used was rated for 5 years on vertical surfaces and 3 years on horizontal surfaces. The shiny outer layer started to peel after a little over 3 years...it took 4.5 hrs to get the vinyl off the roof. But I didn't ceramic coat it, took it through car washes and parked it outside 100% of the time. In the future, I'll either peel it at the first signs of damage, or I'll sell the car before it can happen. lol
