Straight answers about car wraps, commercial vehicle signs and paint protection from Mango Arts in Yarraville, Melbourne.
Wrap film is recommended for new or reconditioned cars. Older vehicles with dents, scratches, rust or other damage may show through the wrap. In those cases we recommend body repair first. Our warranty covers vehicles with an excellent paint-to-substrate bond.
No. Mango Arts installs all wrap films dry. Avery Dennison and 3M films use air-release adhesive that does not require soap and water.
Yes, in rare cases such as complex curves or deep channels where primer improves adhesion.
Use a mild car cleaning detergent with a pH between 5 and 9.
Do not wash the vehicle within the first 48 hours after installation. After that, wash about every two weeks.
Yes. Use matte-specific wax on matte finishes. For gloss and satin, any high-end wax is suitable.
Yes — use it as a drying aid after washing to help protect from UV and extend film life. For matte film, use a matte-only quick detailer.
Spot-clean contaminants quickly. Soak with warm soapy water, then wipe. If needed, use a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol mix. For stubborn stains, test an all-purpose cleaner on a hidden area first.
Park in a garage or shaded area when possible. Sun, dew, rain and pollutants can damage the wrap on the hood, roof and boot. Use a cloth cover if covered parking is unavailable. If the wrap discolours from pollution, have Mango Arts remove it professionally to protect the paint underneath.
