    How NOT to wrap a Car!

    It is videos like this that have saturated the internet and are damaging our industry. I would love to see this job complete and up close. Rant over 🙄

    $this->auto_embed_video(‘http://www.youtube.com/v/nhKeZmZ8uM8?version=3&hl=en_US’, ‘560’, ‘340’)

    can you spot the obvious mistake?

    So where’s the rest of the video then?? They’ve only shown a tiny bit on a relatively easy part of the car to do.
    Like Robert I would like to see the finished job up close.

    There is water underneath the vinyl. Look at the right hand side when he applies where that crease is. He applies it and it pops back up.

    Dry it would stick and crease. Its at the 11 second mark.

    The smarter way is dry and use a horizontal hinge just under the window. Work down then up.

    It looks like it is a bit short on the door shut too…LOL!
    Also looks like standard flimsy polyester chrome and it doesn’t show any flexing into compound curves so that is what I guess it is.
    It looks like a vinyl monkey doing this!
