Anyone have a wrap for a few months? How is it holding up? You happy you did it?
I washed my CT this weekend, and the more I washed it the worse it looked LOL. So I am now looking to get it wrapped for certain. Probably Satin black.
I am keeping my CT outside. Anyone have any thoughts from ownership more than a couple weeks?

I don’t think he’s wrapped it yet.

I’ve had mine wrapped with a DIY kit from TSportline since I got it early April. Satin White.

I had an issue with tire dressing spraying all over the side panels. I should have ceramic coated it. The dressing sat for about 5 days before I could get to it to clean. Nothing has worked to get it out, now I’ve got some staining. Wishing I had gone with a colored PPF. I’d probably go with an Inozetek product next go around, not 3M.

Here’s some pics. I tried everything to get these out.

Nope not yet, but that was going to be a question - ceramic coating. What would be reasonable for a shop to charge to do just that part?

Thanks for showing this. I am going to ask this shop if they will do a colored ppf. I only see vinyl wraps on their website for the most part, but that does not necessarily mean they don't do PPF too.

Ouch. Tire dressing is a real pain. It constantly leaves stains on the side of my truck no matter how much I wipe it down. I even installed the mud flaps and try not to put too much on…

Yeah, the place I washed it at spayed way too much on and I should have wiped it down prior to leaving the wash after drying the truck off. It just picks up that tire junk and mixes together for a nasty cleanup. I was beside my self for days that it even happened. I do believe the 3M vinyl has released the majority of the stains over the past 5-6 weeks, so that’s good, but there are still some spots. Definitely should have ceramic coated it. I even had it on hand to do and just felt confident that the vinyl was sealed well enough on its own.
