Unless you can treat the wrap you will be taking it off in 4/5 years time and thinking you will just wrap it again think on it will peal your top coats of lac and possibly down to the paint so be careful but I like the idea the roof rap on Chris car T200cad has been on 7 years and the side panels on the roof just over 2 and you cannot tell the difference because they were treated twice a year with soft sponge and .........???

Was just going to ask that very question. How did you keep the wrap in tiptop condition? What types of wrap to go for etc etc.. Maybe not the thread to ask but.....

For me the whole idea of wrapping a car is so that you can change your mind after a year or so, otherwise I would have it sprayed. That is the fun, a different colour scheme every year.
