UV is Real!

Transform your ride with vinyl car wrapping, a process that shields and elevates your vehicle's original paint. Enjoy the enhanced aesthetics and protection that vinyl wraps offer, boasting a durability of at least 5 years, even under the scorching sun or extreme heat. However,  harsh UV rays pose a threat, leading to issues like fading, cracking, and peeling.

In locales with elevated UV levels like Cape Town, South Africa, due to factors such as latitude, altitude, and ozone layer depletion, safeguarding your car wrap is crucial. Take proactive steps to shield it from the sun:

  1. Choose UV-resistant materials: Opt for vinyl wraps with built-in UV protection, ensuring prolonged vibrancy and quality.
  2. Apply a protective coating: Add an extra layer of defence with ceramic coating, guarding against fading, peeling, and scratching.
  3. Park in the shade: Reduce direct sunlight exposure by parking in shaded areas, preserving the colour and appearance of your vinyl wrap.
  4. Regular cleaning: Keep your car in top shape by cleaning it regularly with the correct cleaners, preventing damage from dust, dirt, and contaminants. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Embrace these measures to extend the lifespan and allure of your vinyl car wrap while preventing UV damage. Customize your car with confidence, knowing that proper care and maintenance ensure it remains a standout against the elements.
