How to clean vehicles wrapped in vinyl

Vehicle wraps are a great way for companies to get cost-effective and mobile advertising. This combination makes them especially appealing to small firms looking to generate custom in their local areas.

One factor that many business owners wonder about though is how to clean vehicles that have been dressed in vinyl wraps. This blog will offer a guide.

Rinsing

The first stage is to rinse the vehicles thoroughly using either a pressure washer or hosepipe. You can deploy a jet washer, but make sure the pressure setting is not too high, to avoid damaging the vinyl.

Washing

After rinsing it down with water, the next step will be the actual washing. This should be carried out using a sponge that is soft. The detergent you use must be safe for vehicles, so check the label before buying.
You should have two buckets throughout this process – one to hold clean water with detergent and a second for the dirty water. Give all parts of the vehicle a wipe with the sponge.

Re-rinsing

At this point you will need to rinse your vehicle a second time, to get rid of detergent suds and any remaining dirt particles. Make sure it is completely clean before moving on to drying.

Drying

The wrapped vehicle should never be left to dry in the air. The better method is to use microfiber cloths to soak up most of the water. At this point, you can leave them to the air.
