What products are safe to use on it etc. Guessing taking it to the local car wash and using the brush wouldnt be the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain most vinyl wraps for cars are made to be washed without any special chemicals. It's matte-ish enough for me to draw similarities, but yeah, getting brushes/bristles near vinyl wrap or just regular paint is not recommended.

Swindog Member 40 Member For: 10y 8m 15d Posted 11/11/14 04:55 AM Share Posted 11/11/14 04:55 AM I just used some cheapy stuff my father in law gave me so it wasn't great on the corners but I would imagine the proper 3M is designed to be pushed and pulled with heat.All in all not a bad job.I just wanted to cover up the silver accents in the interior. It already has black leather so didn't need much.First pic is before, the others are the result.I didn't use a heat gun, just a hair dryer with a heat facility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice.What do you guys do to the edges to stop the peeling ? E.g. more tape, silicone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
