General Wrap & PPF FAQs

1. What’s the difference between vinyl wrap and PPF?

A vinyl wrap changes the color, style, or branding of your vehicle, while PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a clear or satin film that protects your paint from rock chips, scratches, and road debris.

2. Will wrapping my car damage the paint?

No, when installed and removed properly, wraps and PPF do not damage your paint. Factory paint in good condition remains safe, while repainted panels, poor-quality paint, or failing clear coat may lift during removal. A pre-installation inspection helps ensure safe results.

3. How long does a wrap or PPF last?

We only choose to represent vinyl materials that are designed to last 3–5 years in Texas. Factors that affect lifespan include maintenance and exposure. The brand of PPF we use is designed to last longer, 7–10 years, but still requires proper maintenance.

4. Can I wash my car after wrapping or PPF?

Yes, wait 48–72 hours after installation. Hand washing is recommended. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, and keep pressure washers at least 12 inches away from the surface.

5. Can Vinyl or PPF peel or bubble?

Yes, while it is very rare for edge lifting or bubbling to occur, we focus heavily on using high-quality materials and professional installation to minimize such issues. If it does occur, we provide a warranty on our work to ensure your vehicle remains looking pristine.

6. Can you wrap over chrome, matte, or satin paint?

Yes, chrome or textured surfaces may require special preparation, while matte or satin finishes need extra care during removal. The results depend on the condition of the surface.

7. Can PPF be installed over a vinyl wrap?

Yes, while PPF can be installed over a traditional vinyl wrap, we do not recommend it, as it may increase the risk of material failure since both materials require stretching during installation.

8. Does PPF turn yellow?

The brand of PPF we use has a built-in UV inhibitor that resists yellowing from the Texas sun. Lower-quality or cheaper films have a higher risk of discoloring and even cracking over time.

9. Can I ceramic coat my wrap or PPF?

Yes, applying a ceramic coating on top of your wrap or PPF provides an additional protective layer, making cleaning easier and helping to extend the material’s lifespan with proper maintenance.

10. How much does it cost?

Pricing varies depending on the vehicle, as we consider factors such as vehicle type and size, material selection, and any required disassembly. The best way to receive an accurate estimate is to visit our facility and allow us to review the vehicle with you firsthand.

Wrap-Specific FAQs

11. Can I return my car to its original color?

Yes, wraps are fully removable and preserve the original paint underneath.

12. Can you wrap only certain parts of the car?

Yes, popular areas include roofs, hoods, mirrors, chrome deletes, accents, and stripes.

13. Will a wrap show scratches or swirl marks?

A gloss vinyl wrap may show light swirling over time if not properly maintained. Matte and satin vinyl wraps are less likely to show markings. Our PPF material features self-healing properties, and any swirl marks that appear can be corrected with heat.

PPF-Specific FAQs

14. Is PPF self-healing?

Yes, the brand and material we use provide self-healing properties. When exposed to the sun or warm water, light scratches and imperfections can disappear.

15. What areas should I protect with PPF?

We believe that if a vehicle holds a certain value, the entire vehicle should be protected. However, the most common areas for PPF installation are high-impact zones such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, A-pillars, and side mirrors.

16. Is PPF visible?

High-quality PPF is virtually invisible. When professionally installed, the edges are wrapped, leaving no noticeable lines on most vehicles.

Business & Warranty FAQs

17. Do you offer a warranty?

Yes, we provide both a material warranty and an installation warranty on all our projects. Warranty terms may vary depending on the material and services selected.

18. How long does installation take?

Full wraps: 3–7 days
Partial wraps: 1–3 days
PPF packages: 1–5 days

19. Can you wrap leased or financed vehicles?

Yes, wraps and PPF are non-permanent and can be removed prior to returning a leased vehicle.

20. Do I need to tell my insurance company?

Yes, for both vinyl wraps and PPF, your insurance company should be notified. In the event of an accident, the work will be covered and can be reimbursed for re-installation.
