Cleaning and Surface Prep
Clean your car. Non-wax car wash products leave a clean surface to which vinyl wrap will readily bond with Tools For Vinyl Wrapping. Then, clean the entire surface with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free cloths.
Remove obstacles from the wrap surface. Yes, you can wrap around an emblem, mirror, door handle, antenna, or headlight, but this greatly increases the difficulty and time required to get a good vinyl wrap finish. During this process, paint protection film application tools and Window Tint Installation Tools may be needed. Save yourself a bottle of ibuprofen by removing obstacles. Go over the surrounding areas with alcohol once more to remove fingerprints or dust.
Measure each section you plan on wrapping, adding a few inches for handling. Sketch a diagram of your car's body panels and write down these measurements for later. Measure twice, add a little, and cut once. Remember, you can't add material once you've cut it off! If a panel is close to or wider than your widest vehicle wrap, you'll need to make a seam. Don't try to wrap a 60-inch hood with 60-inch wrap – you'll come up short, guaranteed.
