How to keep your vehicle graphics looking great

Getting promotional graphics added to your business vehicles is a form of advertising with an unbeatable ROI (return on investment).

They will sell your company and services far and wide whenever the vehicles are on the road – and all for a one-time cost. You have to keep them looking great though.

Why this is so important

Vehicle graphics are at risk of damage because they advertise outdoors. Everything from UV sun rays and rain to dirty, gritty road surfaces can affect how they look.

If you get good quality vinyl graphics installed by professionals, they should last for up to seven years – as long as you maintain them properly. Read on to find out how to do that.

Clean the vehicles regularly

Your vehicles should be cleaned on a regular basis, and the safest method for protecting the graphics is washing by hand. Clean with a sponge that is soft, and never use harsh cleaning fluids.

Go easy with pressure washers

You can use a pressure washer for cleaning vehicles with graphics on them, but do so carefully. Set the pressure to a low level and make sure to stand some way back from the vehicle. Avoid directing the pressure at corners or edges.

Get rid of stains straight away

There are plenty of things that can spill on your graphics – including diesel, tree sap and bird droppings. This is fine as long as you clean them off as quickly as possible. If they are left there for long, they will leave permanent stains.
