How does Copper Vinyl Wraps hold up in the winter?

Understanding how Copper Vinyl Wraps perform in winter can help you extend the life of your vehicle wrap.

Can winter weather damage a vinyl car wrap?

Even though cold weather, snow and ice won't damage a vinyl vehicle wrap, and the majority of Copper Vinyl Wrapss are designed to withstand road salts, it's still important to protect your vinyl vehicle wrap from harsh winter conditions. You can take the following precautions:

Keep the vinyl vehicle wrap clean

As with any other season, keeping your vinyl car wrap as clean as you can is the best way to maintain it. Handwashing the Copper Vinyl Wraps with soap and warm, not hot water is the best way to clean it. Power washers and chemical cleaners are too harsh on vinyl. You should wash the Copper Vinyl Wraps of your car at least every two weeks, depending on where you live and how often it gets dirty.

Avoiding the use of a scraper

It is important to remember that in extreme winter conditions snow and ice will quickly accumulate on your vehicle. However, scrapers are not recommended for removing ice or snow off vinyl graphics, such as window graphics. Use a soft, non-damaging brush in conjunction with your car's defroster instead to remove any accumulated snow and ice.

Remove Road Salt

Road salt is essential for maintaining safe road conditions. Although most vinyl materials can withstand its corrosiveness, it's still important to regularly remove it from your Copper Vinyl Wraps. Road salt is corrosive and if left on vinyl for a long time, it can damage the wrap.Red Car Wrap
