[@marblesrichard]

Problem is Calandered and Cast my Cast wrap has lasted fine out doors in the sun heat and cold

[@JulioCandelaria]

Burrito wrap 😍

[@TheMichaelhi]

My car sits outside. Does putting a car cover on the car when parked help the longevity?

[@vAngelx]

For con #2, does it matter if you get for example a dragon design on your car, but the base color is still black, or even getting a matte black wrap, but the normal color is still black? Or would you still have to notify with the specifics of the wrap?

[@Toolsplit]

This depends on where you live, for some states you need some sort of approval for decals for others not so much. generally if the art isn't promoting a business or product, you should be ok

[@iofficialtj]

What would happen if you wrap the car and then you put the paint protective wrap over the wrap 🤔🤔

[@clementmuhirwa]

It would make the wrap strong.

[@judah987654321]

You wouldn’t do that it wouldn’t work PP is almost the same apply process

[@eiffelpex]

It will turn into a neutron star

[@lilacsworld9478]

Hi! So you can literally take the wrap off and your colour would be original without damaged?

[@Toolsplit]

yes! Provided that was the original color of the car, and it was in good condition before putting the wrap on

[@bootapardesi6445]

What exact wrap colour is this? Thanks

[@Toolsplit]

It’s satin Black

[@frankbenitez101]

How about price?

[@Toolsplit]

Depends on your Country and local prices, in Nigeria it costs around N350k - N450k for a high quality wrap

[@tm5346]

Get off the wrap off & how long does it last

[@KDH-br6hy]

Most 2 years

[@frameratee]

1:23 didn’t happen 😅 sorry had to do it

[@tm5346]

More cons

[@Toolsplit]

true that

[@victoriapawlicki3341]

Wraps are the worst. Bird shit easily stains it

[@Davo996]

Never wrap a car. It always looks bad. And it ruins your paint.

[@Toolsplit]

When done by a professional, it makes your car feel fresh without having to change the original paint, win win situation

[@TSIXGaming]

i want to get a camo wrap but bit worried about sun damage
dont mind to much if it fades
but how long can u leave it in the sun before it starts curling or peeling off?

[@Toolsplit]

From our almost 1 year experience, I’d say ours is doing well, without any fade, and it gets used every single day under the insane African heat. Normally a good quality wrap should last at least 3 years under direct sunlight, before any signs of fade or peeling should appear!

[@FELIPE8226M]

Im willing to bet some of those luxury cars in that neighborhood are stolen and shipped from America and Canada lol

[@Tech316Ent]

Reading how much you know about the cars in the neighborhood, I am compelled to believe you are probably part of the criminal gang stealing the cars from Canada and US and shipping them to the said neighborhood .... Stop snitching on yourself bro!

[@Toolsplit]

If you know anything about luxury cars, you'd notice this isn't an American or Canadian Spec. Besides, car enthusiasts exist everywhere in the world, so we work hard to buy interesting stuff to review for you guys, Hit the subscribe button :)

[@invader_britt]

You should know all about stealing huh Mr Crypto

[@squirts1]

haha. "you can just strip it" I don't think you know what you're talking about.
ok, let's see you just pull your vinyl wrap off in the driveway.

[@bengkash702]

You literally can just pull it off…I’ve wrapped my car a few times

[@squirts1]

@@bengkash702 probably looked like trash too. I've seen plenty that were a pain to remove, don't come off cleanly, break apart, tear, etc. Especially on cars that sit in the sun.

[@Toolsplit]

That's why you Shouldn't let it sit in the sun. Seriously, it isn't that difficult to peel out, especially if you have a heat gun or hair dryer lying around.

[@squirts1]

@@Toolsplit I mean, I put my car in the garage, but most people don't.
Tell that to all the people who spend hours trying to remove wraps after they've cooked including shops. There are plenty of videos showing nightmare wrap removal.
