Default Car wrap?

Thinking about getting my car wrapped, anyone have experience with a shop to use or not to use?

Thanks,

DJ

Be careful, There is a big difference in a advertising wrap, and a color change wrap, Color change wraps usually disassemble door handles, mirrors, antenna's, bumpers(front and rear) for full color change. advertising wraps will cut around and wrap over stuff you don't want wrapped.

I'm also interested in wrapping my car. Great way to enjoy a new color and preserving the original paint.

Seeing as I am not allowed to wash my own car anymore, I thought it might be a good time to wrap it for a while.

I never thought of that, but you are right. With the race car all I have to do is use a spray bottle with some soapy water and a towel and it cleans up good as new. Much easier than washing the car and doesn't waste any water.
