Application Guidelines
To ensure optimal results, the following steps are recommended:
Important Considerations
Color Consistency: While we strive to represent colors accurately, variations in screen displays may affect perception. For precise color matching, consult our physical swatch book.
Batch Matching: To avoid slight differences in tone, ensure that the rolls used in a single project come from the same production lot.
Maintenance: While this film resists minor scratches and environmental wear, regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve its glossy finish over time.
Our standard roll is 1.52*18 meters, 5*59 feet, 1.6*19 yards. A customer can request a cut to order. We sell 3, 5, 10, and 15-meter rolls. If you need a custom size, please get in touch with us for a quote.
Make sure you have chosen enough material
Motorcycles 10-16 feet (3-5 meters)
Mini, small cars 42-45 feet (13-14 meters)
Convertible 49-52 feet (15-16 meters)
Coupe 55-59 feet (17-18 meters)
Sedan 55-59 feet (17-18 meters)
Hatchback 52-55 feet (16-17 meters)
Sports Car 52-55 feet (16-17 meters)
Station Wagon 59-65 feet (18-20 meters)
Sport-utility Vehicle (SUV) 55-63 feet (17-19 meters)
Minivan 65-80 feet (20-24 meters)
Pickup Truck 72-92 feet (22-28 meters)
Keep in mind that you may need extra material for repairs.
Therefore we recommend adding 6-9 feet (2-3 meters) to your measurements to avoid additional shipping expenses.
We provide color customization for car vinyl wraps with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 50 rolls. This service allows you to create a unique color tailored to your needs. If you need fewer than 50 rolls, we recommend custom printing instead. With no MOQ required, this is a flexible option for smaller projects. We offer high-quality custom printing services, including:
Printing your designs, logos, or patterns
Design assistance to help bring your ideas to life

Preapplication/production warranty: TeckWrap products are warranted to be free of defects in material for the period of shelf life. In case of product defects communicated in mentioned period, TeckWrap will consider and determine the existence of the defect and further decide at its sole discretion, to either replace defective product without charge or compensate it with money in such amount, as TeckWrap deems reasonable. This action is the exclusive right and only obligation of TeckWrap Inc. This warranty does not cover the cases of normal wearing, transportation and wrong application.
Usage/removal warranty: The durability of the products depends on many factors, such as climate, application, and vehicle care. In optimal conditions of the Mid-European climate, professional application and proper car care when the vehicle is parked in the garage (not left under trees) and cleaned with hand washing at least once a week, the vinyl film can last up to 5 years, considering the expected weathering (exposure to UV, scratches and stone chips). We recommend unwrapping the vehicle after 5 years.
Due to the factors mentioned above, the warrantied periods of usage and removal are different for each product and specified in technical datasheets that can be found in the website's Resources section.
Most of the metallic, satin, and textured colors we offer are directional, and we mention if they are in the product descriptions, but there are several methods to double-check and avoid mistakes.
1. Align test pieces: Cut two small pieces of the vinyl and rotate one piece 90° or 180° relative to the other. The wrap is directional if the color, shine, or texture appears different.
2. Inspect the back printing (liner). TeckWrap vinyl films have printed lines and logos on the backing paper. Always keep track of the orientation of each piece as you cut and apply them. Align the material consistently to maintain a uniform appearance.
Applying vehicle wraps on bad paint or rust is not recommended for several reasons.
1. Adhesion issues: car wraps adhere best to smooth, intact surfaces. Chipped or peeling paint will not hold the vinyl film properly, leading to burbling and lifting.
2. Removal risk: if applied to weak or damaged paint, removing the wrap later may pull up more paint, worsening the vehicle’s condition.
3. Surface Instability: the wrap may not stick or will quickly degrade in those areas.
4. Moisture trapping: wrapping over rust can trap moisture, accelerating the rusting process underneath.
What can be done? Repair first. Fix any paint damage or rust spots before applying a wrap by sanding, priming, and repainting the affected area. For a lasting and quality result, ensure the vehicle’s surface is clean, smooth, and damage-free.
You can wax and polish wraps, but only those with a glossy finish. The wax should be specially formulated for wraps; avoid traditional carnauba wax because it can build up on the surface. Light polishing can be done to restore shine, but aggressive polishing should not be used. Use non-abrasive products. As a better choice, we recommend using a vinyl-safe ceramic coating instead of wax or polish. It adds a layer of protection and enhances the appearance. Before applying anything on the wrap, test a small, inconspicuous area first and clean the wrap thoroughly before using any product to avoid trapping dirt.
Maintaining a car wrap is crucial to keep it looking fresh and prolong its lifespan. Here is what you need to do.
1. Hand wash your car with water-based, non-abrasive soap every 1-2 weeks to remove dirt, debris, and pollutants. Avoid abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or harsh chemicals
2. Always dry your car after washing it with a soft microfiber towel. Avoid air drying.
3. Apply ceramic coatings for added protection against UV rays, dirt, and contaminants.
4. Quickly clean bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, or fuel spills. These will damage the wrap if left too long.
5. Avoid harsh weather conditions such as long-period freezing or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Park in shaded areas or use a car cover.
