You clean binyl with soap and water just like you usually would. It wont chip or fade if its good guality anf installed right, at least no more than a painted car would anyway.

Every now and again on matt colours people twnd to baby oil them to bting the colour up if attending shows etc. Never been a believer but it seems to be a done thing. Lol

Ron PM me for info,

And yeah as custom colours has said you just clean with normal soap and water, I add a little bit of johnsons baby shampoo to the mixture as it is PH free and has a slight oil to it which acts as a wax, an currently in talks with autobrite as they are doing cleaning products for matte cars and I am going to start testing some.

I protect from the front from stone chips by double wrapping the bonnet and front bumper but this is extra cost but worth it in my opinion, have seen people plasti kote their cars and that will only last about 12 months. Also the 3M material is guaranteed on keeping its colour for 5 years!

I do think that it looks a lot better in the flesh though, I had about 10 different shades of purple that I could if chosen from.

2 out of 3 ain't bad . . .

I like it. I'm not sure I would have the balls to wrap my car in any colour. With the right alloys and trims it good be pretty cool and different.
