Willy P Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 As above really, do you wash like normal? Clay bar? Wax? Does it depend on the finish? (matt etc) very confused . I am tempted by the thought of getting my zed wrapped but worried it will take away the fun of cleaning. Answers on a stamped addressed onion.

LRF4N Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm sure I heard Jay saying u can wax a wrap but probably pointless on matt colour? If by went metallic or pearl then wax is prob a good idea. Not sure about clay and I doubt polish would be a good idea lol. Don't quote me on this but I think I heard someone say u can use fairy liquid to wash as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I have accidentally put Super Resin Polish on a carbon fiber wrap and it leaves a nasty white stain across it. Solved the problem with some boot polish But ultimately yeah that wrap didn't like the white resin polish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd like to see a vid of a machine polisher on a wrap, speed setting 5, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy P Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Oh okay cheers for the info. I was more intrigued than anything. Thinking I might go for a matt orange wrap...... Just joking Jay. Washed my car yesterday and what must have been a pterodactyl shat on it. Not pleased. Was 27C here yesterday so it has pretty much fried on there. I think I'll clean my car again.
