How to Remove Car Wraps Without Damaging Your Car?

Car Wraps are an effective method for altering the look of your car or even advertising your business. However, once the time comes for a new design or an upgrade, making the removal of the wrap safe is very important. At MDB our car wrap experts can help you with the removal process also along with efficient protection for your car’s paint and finish. 

Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle

The first thing that needs to be done is cleaning the surface. Dirt, dust and debris should be removed completely. This will help in the smooth peeling of the wrap without dragging dirt across the paint.  At MDB, we always prep the car before beginning the removal process. 

Step 2: Apply Gentle Heat

Heating makes it easier for adhesive to come off. Use either a heat gun or a hair dryer to warm small areas at a time. Do not overheat, since high heat can damage the paint. Controlling the temperature properly is the main factor in protecting your car's surface.

Step 3: Peeling the Wrap Slowly

Start with peeling the wrap off from one corner. Gradually pull the wrap back at a 45-degree angle.  If you hurry, it might tear or stick to the car with glue.  Our experts at MDB apply constant pressure to the film, which is the key to smooth removal.

Step 4: Getting Rid of the Adhesive Residue

Once the wrap has been peeled off, you may notice some glue still sticking on the car. You can use either a gentle adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol to get rid of it.  Stay away from strong chemicals, as they may cause damage to the paint or clear coat.

Step 5: Wash and Check

At last, wash and check the area. A spotless car will make it easier for you to find little remnants of glue or scratches. We at MDB always do a complete surface check after removing the wrap so that your car appears perfect.

Conclusion

To remove car wraps safely, one has to be patient and use the correct method. If you are not sure, then let the experts at MDB do the job.  Our professional team will not only keep your car clean but also ready for its upcoming wrap or a completely different look.
