I am 80% deaf and I heard you perfectly because you have a great voice and you speak so clearly. And I usually have trouble with North American accents! I'm looking for a line of work to get my grandson into and your method of showing us what can go wrong then correcting it, will be a great help I'm sure. I won't let him get started on a real job until he's done it perfectly on my car a few times. Thanks again!
Guys please take the time to give this gentleman a thumbs up for making this video which helps all of us. I get the feeling that the amount of material he used to show us all these techniques cannot be cheap. Show your great fullness by supporting the channel 👍
Totally agree with the insightful tips he gives. But this vynil cost is negligible and probably scrap from other projects. But i agree with ya
Wow thanks for reminding me to be "grateful", DAD, who do you think you are big man? Christian is a legend, I don't need you to remind me.
3 million views... man these scraps must be killing his profits!
@@stevecoutts349chill the fk out bloke,what is your problem.
Love your approach. You don't go around making stupid "jokes" or acting all silly. You mean business! Keep up the good work.
I've never vinyled anything in my entire life, but watching your videos and with your advice, I already feel like a master in wrapping cars.😂
Alpha K he makes it look easy
Same here, I even struggle putting a film on mobile screen . i leave big ass bubbles.
Yeah it's not that easy :D
It's 100% not this easy watching videos bc I just started a job doing it, it's not this easy irl
@@fwgglow hows it going?
This video was very helpful! I’m an absolute beginner and thought I’d try wrapping my prosthetic knee and pylon in a carbon fibre wrap to match my socket. I tried wrapping areas of my knee and it was so intimidating! After watching your examples I feel confident that I can do it!
Did it work out like you wanted?
thats sick
You don’t kneed to.
Ok, I’ll show myself out….
“It’s just a rental car” 😂😂😂 smashed that like button
Legend has it that Enterprise rental insurance claimed was watching this video to learn how to wrap the same car that was return!
Dont be gentle.. It's a rental!
@@teothegreat3587 whats funny is thinking how funny you thought this was going to be in ur head before posting ur comment but whats really funny is that u still think it was funny!! Go read any other legend has it comments!! Really any one you like ANY ONE IN THE WORLD then come back and read yours!! Yea its that bad 👎 🤣
I'm pretty sure he means its a rental for the customers who get thier car wrapped
i literally laughed so hard
First time ever leaving a comment on You Tube but I was so impressed with your knowledge and teaching "tone" . Very impressed thank you.
Great first comment! Hope you’re doing well!
Yes David, he’s very professional. Been watching for a month now getting ready to DIY some small parts.
Agreed
C
Exactly my thoughts!!
I didn't expect myself to watch this for 25 minutes, and I was impressed to find that every minute was informative and helpful. Well done!
Me too
Who else wasn’t planning on spending 2-3k just for someone else to do it😂
I bought I vinyl kit and I'm learning to wrap a car eventually
It's also worth mentioning that when you wrap, you want to stretch the material as much as you can w/o heat, and then only add heat when needed. Too many people rely on heat to stretch the material, which results in over stretching. And by doing that, it will always want to return to normal, when re-heated by the sun.
By stretching it as much as possible w/o heat, it can't shrink itself back down later on when it gets hot, because it was never over stretched with heat in the first place.
Late reacrion but does that mean i shouldn't use heat at all? Got some small things i wanted to wrap l so i just press it all down without heat? (Since they are small things i can cut it out on perfect size)
@@Alice58302 only use heat when you have to. ie in corners. Remember if you use heat to slightly stretch the film to allways post heat the area so it can shrink back into place before trimming 👍
@@daleg4192what is post heating?
@@Smiles5.7 heating all film up to 100 degrees Celsius after you finished.... basically it kills the memory of vinyl and will stop it from shrinking and or lifting. It is must do step for professional wraps 👍
Heat and cold will ALWAYS make the vinyl jump the gaps on inset body panels, the only way to avoid this is to cheat by completing the 'gap' with a strip (quite invisible and acceptable. - If it's a body cover printed graphic, good luck.
I have been binge watching this for the entire week since I found it. Awesome. Cool of you to show how this is done. I wrapped a Lambo, it was a matchbox. It was tough.
I just did the roof on my hatchback and your videos did help. It was my first time doing something like this and came out amazing. Thanks for the tips. You always do a outstanding job wrapping.
You sir, are an outstanding teacher!
omg the squeegee pressure bit was insane. i tried to wrap my bed on my truck a couple days ago and realized after watching this video that's for sure what i was doing wrong. definitely not enough pressure. you are the man! thank you.
As someone wanting to play around and get started on wrapping, I think this was an amazing video. You got to the point and showed examples. No filler. Thank you.
Props and liked video just for saying all five things you'd cover up front.
Even his “Dont’s” examples look good wtheck
You totally missed the point. Those mistakes will make your wrap last 6 months vs 3/4 years. Even if it looks good at the beginning. Corners will start to peel in no time. GL with your project.
@@maximous999 shoulda seen this before wraping, my vinyl startet peeling back around the rear window cause I stretched it. Glued it with superglue now cause fuck it 😆
@@twincamuuu damn dude superglue on your paint?
Twincam hahaha super glue! Next owner will be happy with that
@@maximous999 kllli
Thanks for your tips & techniques. After watching several of your videos, I carbon wrapped my roof with Vvivid.
It turned out good & I couldn’t have done it without your videos.
Thanks!
When he threw that piece of vinyl away, i felt like a piece of my soul was crumbled and thrown away... lmao running out of vinyl wrap has humbled me a WHOLE lot😂😂😂
its not that expensive...
wajietaus you ever 5 minutes away from being done with a project and suddenly need to wait another week?
Glad I'm not the only one lol
I was struggling with a side view mirror, spent maybe an hour on it and it still looked rough. Watched your segment on hand placement and wow what a difference!! Thank you!
This is really useful, thanks a lot.
You should return the rental car back in a different colour. ;)
Good one!!! LOL
No just the front bumper and a fender and say you got into a accident but you got it covered 😂😂
BadLuckBen eh. Full wrap would be more impressive (but also wasteful)
lol
MGR racin g
Amazing, you are mentioning every mistake I made. Thank you so much, I learned A LOT
thanks it was realy helpful actually i am 17 years old and as you showed in your video i wraped my father's car for his birthday thankyou it was really healpfull
Do you have pictures Id love to see how it came out
You're a good kid.
Followed you for quiet a long time now, and I have to just give you a huge thank you. I have learnt so much just sitting in the comfort of my sofa then trying your technique the next day, 💯👌💯👌💯. Thank you for myself and on behalf of all your subscribers 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️
I was gonna go to a shop to get my car (Genesis coupe) wrapped but after binge watching your channel for hours I decided to order the stuff to try at home. Only have the hood and gas cap done but im super satisfied with the results. Honestly you have the best content on YT for this stuff. Camera work is top notch and that's one of the most important parts
Howd the wrap hold up
Ya but you a goofy
@@rltw2753 says the one who talks like a toddler 🤣🤣
LOVE that you list 'em quick, and then get in deep. No click bait nonsense.
God bless you for sharing your knowledge and giving the gift of wrapping to others.
Been watching you since rose gold vinyl was first released. Vinyl wrapping is a lot more easier with all these informative videos. Keep up the quality work 👌
16:30 GREAT EXAMPLE of bad corners. I don’t wrap cars but these tips apply to all vinyl wrapping, not just for cars and corners are the toughest spot.
It's great to find that somebody takes the time and patience to educate people, it shows great character, thank you !
Thank you Im learning to wrap now with my own cars and this vid already taught me how to fix a lot of my mistakes.
Nothing but motivation! You’ll definitely be hearing from me soon, CK! Either me commenting on another video, or tagging you and giving credit once I post and document my first DIY Car Wrapping Video From The Knowledge I Acquired from your videos! 🙏🏿
First day tomorrow vinyl wrapping with zero experience but this video gave me confidence big time thankful asf !!
I’m looking into the same thing but scared😭How’d it go?
I went through a few videos looking for tips and things to avoid.. Your video provided not only what I was looking for but also, gave reasons why you would make the mistake which is a whole new level of teaching your doing. I love it, thank you for the video.
Wrapping the interior panels of my new Kia this weekend & I really needed this. Thank you! 🤍
I tried to vinyl my miata fuel lid just to see how i'd do, Defiantly did some of these mistakes! Thanks for the video!
Defiantly?
What I found interesting was the squeegee pressure. I used avery gloss black for a roof the other day and I got wrinkles. With avery gloss black being as thin as it is, I actually felt that I was putting to much pressure and was stretching / pushing the film forward causing wrinkles. So I made it stick first before applying more pressure. It worked, but it is an extra (unneeded?) step.
Christian... You're an AWESOME instructor... You definitely know your subject and how to teach professionally... You get straight to the point with no idle chit chat... A major point when teaching/instructing (especially with UA-cam)... You're a NATURAL... keep up the great work... I'm now a follower... and THANK YOU!!!
Very informative for the beginner/layperson. Thanks for posting.
Great tutorial....I'm doin my first wrap this weekend, only interior parts but its a start. Thank You!
Watching this guy really makes me confident
Thanks to watching your videos Sir I have just wrapped my Land Rover Defender and although i did get a few little bits wrong I got so much more right. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
Thanks for your time bro. Appreciate it!
Another great vid for us beginners and mid rangers my man, thank you 👍✌️
Thank you very much for this sir! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skills in vinyl wrapping to us beginners.
Thanks!!! I was having issues wrapping a fog light this morning due to overstretch. This helped me rewrap both of them perfect! Thanks thanks thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experience
I put on a hood design on my Jeep & also did a minor design using design line on my work truck (freightliner cascadia). All i learned was from your videos. Gotta say, my 1st 2 attempts at "wrapping" were a success in my book. Of course there's some minor flaws. They were my 1st & 2nd attempts after all lol my next 2 attempts will be laying a piece on the hood of my truck, which shouldn't be too bad. But i am also going to try to wrap the chrome grill on the truck black. That will be a challenge. Will be good practice for laying in recesses. Keep up the good work 👍
I adore you man thanks for all of your efforts
You rock! Thanks for the tips. About to wrap my new 2020 Electra Glide in a satin blue metallic and carbon fiber design. With your helpful videos, I feel a lot more confident. Thank you sir!
Thanks for tips wrapping, now I’ll try to continue my trunk wrapping, you’re such a good teacher Sir, God bless you more and thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼😊
Make a video about preventing scratching / removing scratches with heat on the vinyl please :)
Just wrapped my first part (jet ski storage lid). Actually wasn’t that difficult. Def some learning, though, and your vid was a huge help! Helped me not be afraid to go for it. 3M’s 2080 film is awesome! Gonna hit a few trim parts on my GLI next! Thanks for a great tutorial! 👍🏼
Excellent presentation.Very clear demonstration of how things can go wrong if you don’t know how to apply it the right way. Thank you brother.
This is one of the best ”guides” in wrapping ive seen. Very good shown and explained! 👍🏼
This is vinyl wrapping gold. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
def one of the best instructions out there buddy!!
Thanks for taking your time to do this vid
This doesn't look too difficult. I have a bit of history with wrapping, mainly flat wooden surfaces. I got a car dirt dirt cheap. So cheap irs sickening I just hate the idea of it being white. Thank you for your videos! I'd rather out i the effort to have it orange! Thanks again:)
Love your videos man. So much free knowledge is appreciated. My first wrap on my GTO I definitely encountered all 5 mistakes 😂 it's ok I learned now to re wrap in pearl white
How hard was it? I’m wrapping mine in white as well
@@derekbigpowers1993 most of the car is pretty easy. Lay in the dimple on the doors don't stretch into it. It's the rear bumper that's a bitch. I ended up doing it in 3 pieces
Thank you so much. I'm going to try wrap my own car myself. Because getting it wrapped is so expensive and your video on it gave me the confidence to try it myself. Once again thank you so much. From Perth Western Australia!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TUTORIAL ON WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY FOR THIS...
REALLY APPRECIATE IT BRO!
Thanks a lit chris, whith your amazing vids I wrapped my car and it looks great! All thanks to you.
Upload pics bro!
Man, I've watched you do so many mirrors in one go. I keep struggling to get em right. Granted, I'm doing the same one over and over, but I think I might have finally understood what you're doing now. Time to try again this weekend!
If that's your Lexus in your profile pic... looks good bro
Thank you for this video and for the effort of using your film for each demo... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for taking your time and showing us
It’s always so insane to me how he can lift *multiple times*
And he never gets bubbles or under film contamination.
You wrap guys really are just built different.
Get thicker wrap :)
It takes practice and the vinyl isn't set right away so you can lift and set a few times although it sounds like you're ripping off the whole panel with it. Lol. Like the other person said it could be the brand/type of wrap. Try something thicker. Just be patient. Remember he's in a controlled environment indoors so contamination is minimal and he's a pro so bubbles don't happen with him but it does when you're learning. 😁
Good quality vinyls have air release technology so you won't get bubbles
By no means am I saying wrapping a vehicle is easy to do, it really isn't without a lot of practice
I see, so when your hands are in the right place you're less likely to stretch and distort and more so spreading the vinyl out to lay it down. Thanks man!
We need people like you🤩 Love your advice and tutorial on it🥰❤️
Showing your craft to everyone. Humble. thank you. I have wrapped my car (Pieces) several times. I would have never tried without your advice.
Thanks bro you the man 👍💪
You are the man! I don't leave comment often but this video is so helpful for my project! Nice watch by the way!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video, I'm about to wrap my motorcycle and this is really well explained!
Thank you so much. You are very talented Sir 🤙🏽
Love you brother ... Awesomeness as usual Christian ... Peace 🙏🙏
Sounds simple enough to do on my car. Have the advantage of all late 80's/ early 90's cars just being boxes on wheels.
Outstanding video. Surely answered a number of my concerns. Thank you.
Great examples mate. Appreaciate your time.
I make 4 out 5 mistakes lol.. thanks man, you're awesome
Great tips thanks. I watch a video you did wrapping a laptop lid, it was helpful but i just can't get the corners without wrinkles , i done about 30 now. Any chance you could do a detailed one for the corners. Cheers from Australia.
This video is unbelievably helpful thank you
Very informative! Appreciate you sir!
Thanks for this. I've only wrapped my hood once but know what I did wrong, it doesn't look horrible but I notice it.
Off topic, what gloss purple is that in the background?
I started wrapping some interior stuff last night first was really bad so after the 2 time it’s a lot better so with that is there a glue for the inside edges
Your very helpful I love all your videos I learn a lot from you thank-you mr Ck wrap!!
Phenomenal video. Great instruction!
I definitely use too much vinyl but I actually didn't know that cutting it flush prevents it from lifting. Great tips! Will be integrating this into my 3rd time vinyl wrapping.
ua-cam.com/video/YVPCVaV2bg0/v-deo.html
I just realized you wrapped your knife. Pretty awesome 😂
I was wondering if it was that or just a really nice tool...
Had to rewatch to look closer, 17:54 you can see the raw edge of the wrap and that rest of handle isn’t covered.
He should have the apprentices at his shop make these and sell them! 😂
Thank you. Really good practical advise.
Great tutorial! I'm gonna attempt my C5 in about a month. Your videos educate and inspire me. Thanks man!!
God bless you, can you please do a longer video on the number 2 problem
Thanks for the tutorial man, helpful tips...fan from Malaysia 👋

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us !
Thank you so much for the awesome exaamples i learned alot before doing my car.thanks.😊
Incredible video Bro and as usual perfectly explained. I wish I could go on a workshop from you and also improve my English 🙌🏽
I really appreciate this video. I've had some vinyl and heat gun for sometime now. Mainly haven't tried to wrap yep because I don't wanna mess up but this video helps me wanna go ahead and try. Any advice on wrapping car badges and emblems without removing them from the car?
Very informative and helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thx for the video it really helps me
People worry about screwing up vinyl wraps but even though it can be difficult sometimes, it’s probably the single most forgiving thing to work with.
Try wrapping motorcycle plastics they arent flat like a car hood
