Washing matter vinyl wrap

brandonroy · 05-09-2012, 08:07 AM

I'm just curious for all you guys that has vinyl wrapped your car in matte finish, how do you wash your cars to maintain the vinyl? What kind of soap do you use, and should avoid using? Do you guys use any wax on it?

Just avoid power washing corners and edges.
Don't use ammonium products. So, no windex and such.
A safe and cheap route is dish soap plus water, but they have specific products out there too..

off the shelf car wash like blue magic works for me. I also use a vinyl protectant from meguires to preserve it.

I use this new one from Chemical Guys that specifically made for Matte Finishes and Vinyl Wrapped cars. Thanks to my buddy Nate who bought it for me. It works well and removes alot of smudge dirt from my matte white car.
