1. Select the right color and finish

Color Options

RCWRAP has 360 color options including metallic, matte, and solid finishes. There is a color to suit every style, whether you want a subtle or bold change.

Personalization: Think about the overall appearance you’d like to achieve. Are you looking for a more elegant, classic finish or something unique and modern? A Lamborghini Huracan in green can be made to stand out by a unique and vibrant wrap.

Finish Options

Glossy : This type of paint gives the car a reflective, shiny finish.

Matte: This finish is sophisticated and non-reflective, giving your car an elegant look.

Satin: Combines both the best and worst of both worlds, with a subtle shine that is neither too bright nor too dull.

 

2. Choose a TPU film of high quality

Material Quality

TPU vs.PVC: TPU films offer better protection from UV damage and scratches compared to films made of PVC. These films also have self healing properties that can repair minor scratches if heated.

Durability: RCWRAP TPU films can last for up to 10 year with the right care. They provide long-lasting protection, and a high-quality finish.

Brand Reputation

Trusted manufacturer: Select a reputable company like RCWRAP. They have a track record for producing TPU films of high quality and offering excellent customer service.

 

3. Prepare your car properly

Clean and Inspect

Thorough Cleaning: Make sure your vehicle is thoroughly cleaned. Remove any dirt, grime or contaminants which could interfere with the adhesion.

Before applying the wrap, inspect for damage. Repair any scratches, dent or other imperfections. For a flawless finish, a smooth and clean surface is necessary.

Remove Accessories

Emblems & Trim: Remove all emblems, trim, badges or other items that may interfere with the installation process. After the wrap has been installed, these can be reattached.

4. Select a Professional Installer

Experience is important

Professional installers with experience applying TPU films will ensure a seamless, high-quality finish. They are equipped with the tools and skills to deal with the intricate details in your car’s design.

Warranty: Professional installers often offer warranties for their work. This gives you peace of mind, and protects you from any problems that may occur.

Facilities and Equipment

Controlled Environment: Choose an installer that works in a controlled atmosphere to reduce the risk of dust or other contaminants.

 

5. Consider Cost and Value

Initial Investment

Cost Comparison: Wrapping your car is usually more cost-effective than painting it. However, costs can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the design.

Long-Term Savings – Consider the savings you will make in terms of maintenance and protection over time. TPU films will extend the life and value of the original paint on your car, reducing the need for expensive repairs.

Resale Value

Removable – Unlike paint, car wraps are removable. This means that you can easily restore your car’s original condition if you choose to sell it. This can increase the value of your car or help to maintain it.

 

6. Understanding Maintenance Requirements

Regular Cleaning

Wash your car regularly to keep it clean and free of dirt and debris.

To prevent water spots, dry your car completely after washing.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle pH neutral cleaning products.

Waxing: Use a wax or sealant of high quality to protect and maintain the wrap’s shine.
