Frequently Asked Questions

A professionally fitted wrap is designed for sound, fully cured paintwork. Removal can lift paint from resprayed or touched-up areas, stone chips, rust or poorly bonded paint. We assess the surface before installation and discuss any risks; damage-free removal cannot be guaranteed for every vehicle.
Ask us to confirm the selected material, preparation, installation, VAT where applicable and any removal work. Coverage, finish and the condition of the vehicle affect the price.
Wrapping lets you change the colour or finish and add graphics without repainting the whole vehicle. The film also provides a sacrificial layer over the paint, helping protect against everyday wear. It can be removed to reveal the original colour, but the condition underneath depends on the original paint, the film, its care and how it is removed.
We offer gloss, matte, satin, metallic, carbon-fibre-effect and chrome finishes. Contact us to discuss the colours and materials available for your project.
A wrap could last up to five years, depending on the film, exposure to sun and weather, vehicle use and maintenance. Different panels can age at different rates. We will explain the expected life and any product-specific warranty for your chosen material.
Every fitted wrap is quoted individually. The price depends on the vehicle size, chosen vinyl, preparation and complexity, including whether you want door shuts and returns wrapped (the painted areas visible when a door is open). Materials start from £20 per metre; this is material only, with installation quoted separately. For a free quote, use our contact page or call us. We may request photographs or ask to inspect the vehicle.
Installation time depends on the vehicle, coverage, preparation and chosen material. We will agree the expected workshop and collection times when quoting for the work.
A full wrap covers the agreed exterior body panels in vinyl. Door shuts and returns are discussed and priced separately. A partial wrap covers selected areas, such as the roof, bonnet or wing mirrors, leaving the rest of the vehicle in its existing colour.
Ask us for the care instructions and warranty terms for your chosen material and installation. These vary by product and use; we will explain them before you book.
Vehicle wrap vinyl has an adhesive backing protected by a peel-off liner. Once the liner is removed, the film is carefully positioned and applied to the prepared panels for a smooth finish.
Vinyl follows the surface underneath, so chips, deep scratches, rust and poor paintwork can show through or affect adhesion. Some very fine marks may be less noticeable, but wrapping is not a substitute for bodywork repairs. We recommend repairing defects first and allowing any new paint to cure fully in line with the paint and film manufacturers’ instructions.
Tell your insurer before a full or partial wrap and confirm its requirements. If a wrap changes the vehicle’s colour, you must update the colour on the V5C with DVLA. Check the current GOV.UK guidance for changing vehicle details on your registration certificate; ask DVLA if you are unsure how a multi-colour design should be recorded.
Yes. Quality vehicle vinyl is designed to be removable, and we recommend professional removal. How easily it comes off depends on the film, age, exposure and paint condition. Do not assume every wrap will peel off cleanly after five years; discuss removal before the film becomes brittle or deteriorates.
If you change your mind, please contact us as soon as possible. A deposit may be retained in line with your agreed booking terms to cover reasonable losses caused by cancellation. Any amount retained must be fair and reflect those losses. Your statutory cancellation and refund rights are not affected.
This depends on your insurer and how it treats the modification. Check before booking, describe the planned wrap and confirm any change to your premium or cover.
Hand wash with a suitable, non-abrasive car shampoo whenever the vehicle is dirty, ideally weekly. Remove contaminants promptly and avoid brush-based mechanical car washes. If using a pressure washer, follow the film manufacturer’s limits for pressure, temperature and distance, and keep the spray away from film edges. We will explain the care instructions for your chosen finish.
Yes. We offer a design service and can create vinyl-cut logos, decals and advertising panels, as well as printed vehicle graphics. Send us your artwork and a brief so we can discuss the layout.
Collection and delivery may be available by prior arrangement. These services cost extra, and the agreed collection or delivery fee must be paid before the journey. Contact us to confirm availability and a quote.
Our team includes skilled wrappers with more than ten years of experience. We take pride in the quality of our wraps, and a separate team member checks the completed work before we sign it off internally.
