Maintaining Your Wrapped CybertruckUpdated 8 months ago

Congratulations on completing your Cybertruck wrap! Wrapping your vehicle is no small task, and we hope you had fun with the project and are thrilled with the results. Now that your wrap is in place, here are some important tips to help maintain it and keep it looking great for years to come.

1. Initial Care After Installation

  • Wait Before Washing: After installing your wrap, it’s crucial not to wash your Cybertruck for about seven days. This waiting period allows the wrap to fully set and adhere to the surface, preventing any premature peeling or lifting.
  • Check the Edges: The day after installation, inspect the edges of your wrap. If you notice any areas that have lifted, gently press them back down using a clean cloth. This helps ensure that the wrap remains securely in place.

2. Avoid Rain and Harsh Conditions

  • Keep It Dry: If possible, avoid exposing your wrapped Cybertruck to rain for the first week. Parking in a garage or covered area can help protect your new wrap during this critical setting period.

3. Ongoing Maintenance

  • Hand Wash Only: To preserve the integrity of your wrap, we recommend hand washing your Cybertruck every two weeks, or at least once a month, depending on how frequently you drive. Automatic car washes, even touchless ones, can be tough on vinyl wraps and may cause damage over time.
  • Remove Contaminants Quickly: If bird droppings, bugs, or other contaminants land on your wrap, clean them off as soon as possible. Use a quick detailer, such as the Waterless Wash provided in your kit, to gently remove these substances without damaging the vinyl.

4. Consider Ceramic Coating

  • Enhance and Protect with Ceramic Coating: After wrapping your Cybertruck, you might want to apply a ceramic coating to enhance the durability and appearance of your wrap. We recommend using GYEON ceramic coating, which is user-friendly and offers a bit more forgiveness during application than other brands.
  • Benefits of Ceramic Coating: The purpose of ceramic coating is to create a hydrophobic barrier over the vinyl, making it easier to clean and helping to prevent stains from setting in. It’s an excellent way to extend the life of your wrap and keep it looking pristine.
