The Prep Checklist

1

Wash & Dry

Bring your vehicle in clean. Wash it the day before and dry it thoroughly — vinyl will not adhere to dirt, road grime, or wax. Do not apply any wax, sealant, or tire shine before your appointment.

2

Remove Accessories

Take off any bug deflectors, badges, antennas, magnets, or aftermarket trim you want kept off the wrap. Clear personal items from the interior and bed so we have full access to every panel.

3

Address Damage

Vinyl follows the surface beneath it. Dents, rust, peeling paint, or body damage should be repaired before installation — otherwise the imperfection will show through and can shorten the life of the wrap.

4

Plan Drop-Off

Most installs keep your vehicle 3–5 days. Arrange a ride or loaner ahead of time, drop off with a low fuel level if requested, and arrive at your scheduled time so we can start the prep that matters.

How to prepare for your wrap install +

A clean, sound surface is everything for a lasting wrap. Wash and dry your vehicle within 24 hours of your appointment — no wax, sealant, or tire shine, as those keep the vinyl from bonding. Remove magnets, bug deflectors, badges, antennas, and any trim you want kept off the wrap, and clear personal items from the interior and bed. Address any dents, rust, or peeling paint beforehand, since vinyl conforms to whatever is underneath it. Plan for us to keep the vehicle 3–5 days and arrange a ride or loaner ahead of time.

For window tint, clean glass and a clean interior make all the difference. Make sure all windows — inside and out — are free of stickers, old film, debris, and residue, and remove any suction-cup mounts, toll tags, or decals you want kept off the glass. Clear the back deck and door pockets so we have full access to every window. Plan to leave the windows up and avoid rolling them down for 3–5 days after install so the film can fully cure, and expect a little haze or water pockets at first that clear as it dries.

When we come to you, a few things keep the install on schedule and on quality. We need a clean, dry, enclosed or covered space — a garage, shop bay, or warehouse — that stays above 60°F with room to work around the entire vehicle and access to a standard power outlet. The vehicle should be washed and dried in advance and parked in the install area, out of direct wind, dust, and weather. Please have the space cleared and the vehicle ready at the scheduled time so our team can get right to the prep that matters.
