thkyline Posted March 19, 2024 Share Posted March 19, 2024 my wife was driving my car and left the garage door open with the blistering sun beating down on it all day 😬 just below the passenger side headlight... 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485361-dont-leave-a-wrapped-skyline-out-in-the-sun/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bogan Posted March 20, 2024 Share Posted March 20, 2024 I've seen wrap peel around edges and bubble, but not fall off in chunks, it does look like it has taken a hit for the wrap to tear and come off like that, how long has it been wrapped?

funkymonkey Posted March 20, 2024 Share Posted March 20, 2024 Is that regular 3M wrap? Should be more durable than that. unless it was melty and someone brushed against it?

thkyline Posted April 14, 2024 Author Share Posted April 14, 2024 i think the issue was from where i had heated and pulled the wrap a bit too much (probably a rookie mistake to be fair), i thought it was a bit weird but when you touch the edges it actually feels as if it has melted. I bought the wrap through CarWraps Australia, the wrap itself is pretty good quality and really forgiving, ive got a heap of weird bends and bumps in the bumpers and skirts and it worked well around most of them. Its been on for a little under a year and the only issues are with where i didnt prep the paint beneath it properly Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485361-dont-leave-a-wrapped-skyline-out-in-the-sun/#findComment-7988719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaymoR32 Posted April 16, 2024 Share Posted April 16, 2024 i'll never buy a wrapped car again, all the paint tore off my car when i removed the wrap. It had definitely sat out in the sun for way too long! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485361-dont-leave-a-wrapped-skyline-out-in-the-sun/#findComment-7988861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bogan Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 I was watching a tube vid on a guy removing that clear stuff they put on, t'was a R35, not enough heat gun was used and paint peeled off in some areas Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485361-dont-leave-a-wrapped-skyline-out-in-the-sun/#findComment-7988881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBS206 Posted April 26, 2024 Share Posted April 26, 2024 I could show you guys photos of wrap having been removed properly, and where the wrap was removed, paint underneath is perfect. Sections of the vehicle didn't have wrap on it, and in those areas, the paint work is destroyed because of how long it had been sitting in the hot QLD sun for many many many years. Wrap even still looked decent. Good quality wrap, and removing it properly shouldn't rip off the paint work, unless the paintwork was already shot to pieces before hand.
