Advantages of car wrapping
Countless colors, shapes and designs
One of the most important advantages of wrapping is that it is available in many colors and designs with countless finishes, such as matte, glossy, calm and chrome colors, in addition to multiple designs and lines that satisfy all desires and will make you think about putting it on your car, whether you choose the same color or any color you want to express your personality and desires in a beautiful and eye-catching way.
Protects the paint to a certain extent
The wrap protects the original car paint from external factors such as UV rays and bird droppings, as well as minor scratches, dirt, tree sap and road salt. It also makes washing easier because removing dirt becomes easier and faster, but protective films are much better than it.
It costs less than actual paint
Another great advantage of wrapping is that it is cheaper than actual paint, especially high-quality paint. It gives almost the same color and shine at less than half the price, enabling car owners to wrap their cars in the same color without any legal issues, at a lower cost and in less time.
Lasts for years
Wrapping on cars, especially if it is of good quality, lasts from two to five years or more if it is also cared for. This protects your car for a long time without worrying about external problems, frequent washing, and constant cleaning.
Easy to clean
Car wraps are known to be easy to clean and do not require deep washing like regular paint. All you need is a water hose or bucket with special soap, a quick rinse and drying. It does not leave any swirl marks, water marks, or stains like regular paint.
Easy to install and remove
Car wraps are easy to install and remove from the car. Painting a car can take a week to two weeks or more, but wrapping usually takes a day or two and can take up to a week, depending on the size of the car. You can also remove it later to restore the original color or change the color to another color.

Disadvantages of car wrapping
Does not last as long as protective films
Although wrapping lasts for many years, as mentioned earlier, it does not outperform protective films PPF, which sometimes last for more than 10 years when using good quality films from a well-known company. For this reason, many owners prefer to install protective films for better and longer-lasting protection.
Does not provide the same protection as protective films
Wrapping films can withstand heat, sunlight, light stones, and minor scratches, but they do not provide the same strong protection as protective films designed for this purpose. Therefore, if you want to install wrapping on your car for protection, it is better to install films to get excellent results, but they are more expensive, of course.
Requires special care
Incorrect installation or vigorous cleaning, such as using a water pump or rubbing with excessive pressure on the edges, may cause the wrap to lose the strength needed to adhere to the car body. This means that the edges will lift off the paint and begin to peel, especially around the mirrors, door handles, and curved corners.
Not resistant to chemicals
When washing the wrap, you must use cleaning materials and special soap that are free of chemicals and are specifically designed for cars so as not to affect the quality of the wrap and accelerate its fading and loss of shine. Avoid using a high-pressure water pump so as not to damage it further.
There are poor-quality types, so beware
Wrapping films are available in many types, shapes, sizes, and prices, including cheap, poor-quality types. These types are not recommended for use at all because they damage the paint and may stick to it when you want to remove them, causing the paint to come off with them. This will force you to repaint the damaged parts and pay large sums of money.
