Common Questions

  • How Long does a Vehicle Wrap Last

    Cast Vinyl Film: This is the highest-quality vinyl, designed for long-term durability and superior conformability to complex curves. With proper care, a cast vinyl wrap can last 7–10 years, maintaining its color, finish, and protective qualities.

    Calendered Vinyl Film: This is a more budget-friendly option, thicker and stiffer than cast vinyl. While durable, it’s best suited for flat or slightly curved surfaces. Calendered wraps typically last 3–5 years before fading or showing signs of wear.

  • What is ceramic coating, and how is it different from waxing?

    Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle’s exterior that chemically bonds to the paint, forming a durable, protective layer. It repels water, dirt, and contaminants, enhances gloss, and provides long-lasting protection against UV damage, oxidation, and minor scratches.

    Unlike traditional wax, which sits on the surface and wears off after a few weeks, ceramic coating permanently bonds to your paint and can last several years with proper maintenance. It not only keeps your car looking showroom-fresh longer but also makes washing and maintenance significantly easier.
