Ask us the awkward one. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.

01How long does a full wrap last?Wraps & film
Years, with care. The exact number depends on the film you pick and how much sun and weather the car lives in. Garage-kept gloss lasts longer than a matte daily parked outside, and we'll give you an honest range for your setup at the consult.
02Will a wrap damage my paint?Wraps & film
No, it does the opposite. The film shields your factory paint from UV, chips and light scratches. Healthy factory paint under a wrap comes out looking better than the panels that stayed exposed.
03Can you wrap just part of the car?Wraps & film
Absolutely. Hoods, roofs, mirrors, trim, chrome delete, whatever piece of the look you're after. Partial wraps are a great way to test a colour before committing to the full car.
04PPF vs wrap, what's the difference?Wraps & film
PPF is invisible armour, a clear film that protects the paint you already have. A colour wrap changes the look and adds protection at the same time. Plenty of clients run PPF on the front end and wrap the rest.
05Can I wrap a leased car?Wraps & film
Yes, and it's one of the better reasons to wrap. The film comes off at the end of the lease and the factory paint underneath is exactly as it was, so the car goes back the colour the paperwork says it is.
06Can I wash a wrapped car?Living with it
Yes. Hand wash with a proper mitt and pH-neutral soap. Skip automatic washes with harsh brushes, they're rough on wrap edges and honestly not great for paint either.
07What happens in a London winter?Living with it
Wrapped cars handle salt and cold fine. Wash the salt off when you can, keep pressure washers away from the edges, and don't scrape ice directly over a seam. That's most of it.
08What if a panel gets damaged later?Living with it
Panels are replaceable on their own. If something gets scuffed or a stone goes through the film, we can usually redo that one piece rather than the whole car, which is another thing paint can't do.
09How long does the install take?Booking & timing
Most cars are in and out in one to two days. Complex builds with lots of disassembly or custom liveries can run longer, and we'll tell you the timeline up front.
10Can you do tint in the same visit?Booking & timing
Often, yes. Ask for a bundle quote when you book and we'll line up the wrap and tint so the car leaves finished, not half-way there.
11What do you need from me before the car comes in?Booking & timing
A clean car and an empty interior. Give it a proper wash a day or two before, pull anything you care about out of the cabin, and tell us about any existing paint damage so nothing surprises either of us.
12Is the work covered by a warranty?Booking & timing
The films we use come with real manufacturer warranties, and our install is covered too. Exact terms depend on the film you choose, and they come with your quote in writing rather than as a promise at the counter.
