After care of matt black wrap
Hi,
does anyone have any tips on aftercaere of a matt black wrap. Just completed today in 3M 85 series. I’d like it if our customer kept it looking good as it will be good for us!
Cheers,
G

There’s not a lot you can do. You only have to look at that vinyl for it to mark and scratch, as the Focus RS500 owners will tell you. 3M say to use a glass cleaning fluid to clean it.

it can be waxed and looks superb but only with a polish that hazes when drying out such as carnuda type stuff.
it will leave a white dust with cheaper normal wax’s which looks awful. -
From what I have read and seen I can’t understand why people want this on their cars, only seen a few close up but of those a couple had been badly fitted and had quite a lot of glossy areas and the others had all sorts of marks on them.
Guess it is down to cost but wouldn’t this be better done with a gloss vinyl with a matt laminate ??Gavin stick some pictures up so we can admire your handy work and don’t forget to pop round to the customers every week to clean the car for them :lol1:

Cheers for the info, I’ll pass this on.
Didn’t really get any good pics, it’s dark here already!
It was an RS Fiesta and I thought it looked amazing, don’t know how good it will look by the time the guy drove home with the amount of salt on the roads!

I’m driving my car over a year now (black matt obviously – 3M 85 series – old one not controltac). I’ve done few signs for friendly car wash so I’ve got it for free and I’m using it nearly 3-4 times a week 🙂 black matt really need it – it’s attracting tons of dust. I’ve got lot little scratches but it’s mostly of present weather and don’t help to keep it clean at all.Overall:
Only hand car wash – and big NO NO to rubber squegees to dry. Use only cloth.
If he’s got garage – use it, if not every morning will be grey because of dust. (depending where he live)Jon.
It is special wax for our vinyl job.
It is Swisswax. It cost abou £50 for 50mg but it works. I haven’t tried yet but I’ve seen it in action and year old vinyl after wax it looks like just applied (even better – black color is so deep)Hope that helps

Hi Guys we had to strip and rewrap a Ford RS500 that came from the factory damaged. Our client used the Swisswax to detail it but he used an authorised applicator costing around £300 for the full day.
Some pics attached.
