Rydeit Member 327 Member For: 14y 22d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide S.A Posted 08/10/14 10:51 AM Posted 08/10/14 10:51 AM Any tips for cleaning a matte vinyl wrapped car? 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.

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. Edited 08/10/14 11:00 AM by stubbietubbie 2
Swindog Member 40 Member For: 12y 11m 25d Posted 11/11/14 04:55 AM 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
