Car wrapping is a wonderful thing in the automotive world. It allows you to modify your car and change its color completely or in specific parts, add some logos and beautiful graphics, and try out new colors that may be even more beautiful than the original color.
Wrapping also protects the paint from minor scratches, sunlight, road salt, and many other problems that your car may encounter during its lifetime. The older the car gets, the more its paint becomes susceptible to damage, oxidation, and other annoying issues, not to mention costly repairs.

Steps for applying car wrapping
The correct steps for applying car wrapping are as follows:
Step 1: Prepare the materials
First, you must prepare the necessary tools for installing the wrap, which are: the wrap, a rubber squeegee, a sharp knife or blade, a heat gun, a measuring tape, and a microfiber towel.
Step 2: Choose a work area
Installing the wrap on the car requires a clean, spacious area with good lighting that is free of dust, strong air currents, dirt, and other contaminants. It is preferable to be in a garage or enclosed area so that the installation process is free of any problems.
Step 3: Wash and clean your car thoroughly
Now you must wash your car and clean it thoroughly of all dirt, stains, bird droppings, and other things that may stick to the body and wrapping when it is placed on the body. The paint must be clean so that the wrapping adheres to it easily and quickly and does not cause subsequent problems.

Step 4: Prepare the wrap
Start by accurately measuring the large parts of your car that you will be wrapping, such as the pillars, hood, doors, roof, and trunk lid, then cut the wrap slightly larger than the measurements so that you have enough to work with comfortably. Use scissors or a sharp blade to cut it so that the cut is not uneven and shows when placed on the car.
Step 5: Apply the wrap to the car
Start with each part separately, then remove the bottom film of the wrap and place it on the area you want to wrap, making sure it is aligned with the edges of the body. Then use a rubber squeegee to remove air bubbles and ensure that it adheres well to the body, corners, and curves.
Step 6: Use a heat gun
There may be times when you need to use a heat gun to heat the wrap so that it can be stretched over certain corners and curves on the car. When heated, it becomes easier to move in certain areas. Make sure not to overheat it, as this may damage it or cause it to change color.

Step 7: Remove excess edges
After finishing applying the wrap to the car and making sure that the installation is perfect and does not need any adjustments, take the sharp blade and start cutting the excess edges, being careful not to touch the body so as not to scratch the paint or tear the wrap, otherwise you will have to start the process all over again.
Step 8: Final inspection
After completing the entire wrapping process and trimming the excess edges, walk around the entire car and look for any defects or air bubbles, then use the heat gun to remove them completely so that your car is ready and in perfect condition.
