It’s important to know how to get the most out of your investment so here are some tips on how to wash your vehicle graphics.
Wash Regularly – Contaminants allowed to remain on the graphic may be more difficult to remove during cleaning.
Automated Car Washes – Vinyl wraps may be run through car washes. Touchless car washes are the best for graphic care. Use of brush car washes (depending upon the frequency and quality of brush) may cause dulling/scratching/lifting edge of the graphics.
Pressure Washing – Although hand washing is the preferred cleaning method, pressure washing may be used under these conditions: Ensure the water pressure is kept below 2000 psi. Keep water temperature below 180 °F. Use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide angle spray pattern. Keep the nozzle at least 1 foot away from and perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the graphic. * Holding the nozzle of a pressure washer at an angle to graphic may lift the edges of the film.
Fuel Spills – Wipe off immediately to avoid degrading the vinyl and adhesive, then wash, rinse and dry.
Wax – We do not recommend using wax or other similar coatings on vehicle graphics.
