Great progress today.

The transformation is incredible. Can the wrap material be washed or cleaned later on?

Yes, you can wash the car like you would paint, and you can wax the car as well. Just no clay bar or abrasives can be used. I plan to use Adam's products on it and plan to review that with them at Carlisle next week,
Good question, thanks.

I asked Brian for an additional picture that shows the front stripe on the lower portion of the car and he sent this along to me.

Below this will be another part but I have not received it yet so I cannot attach what I do not have. We'll get it taken care of when I get it.

Thanks again for following along.

Brian has this web posting data now so he can follow along and will see your questions. Let me know if I can help with any other data.

David, out of curiosity how does the wrap material respond to high octane fuel spills? I imagine much better than paint? Will be excellent for road racing pit stops!! , Mark

I think that is an excellent question Mark. I will test it on a sample piece and see how it does. Might be worth an additional layer of clear vinyl, worth looking into for sure.

Now I am checking to see if the car should be, could be, will be, clear coated to seal the vinyl in place. It was recommended, have not pursued that one yet, but will do so soon.

Thanks again for the question, its a good one.

all the NASCAR cars are wrapped nowadays, so don't see a problem with it holding up to fuel, especially as there's no image printed on the vinyl.
Looks killer!
