I am thinking of having my roof vinyl wrapped - has anyone got any pictures of a reflex silver golf with this done? Just want to see what it may look like!
Also - is it easy enough to remove when i come to sell the beast?
-
there is only a few of us with the roof done but there on a candy golf

-

hard as nails in that shot dude :evilgrin:

Does it peel over time?
Do you wash it as normal?
-
you can wash as normal but they advise you not to use a pressure washer on it.. :happy2:
-
i wash mine all the time plus i also add wax to it as it does make it look better

i did not know you could wax it mat as when i read instructions on wax i use (meguiars gold class liquid wax) it says not too use on vinyl.
since i'v had the vinyl wrap on my car i haven't waxed the vinyl parts but i probably will now since you say its ok.. :happy2:
-
meguiars gold class liquid wax only lasts about a week so cant see the problem with using it mate
-
No problems with pressure washing mine with its carbon wraps.

X 2 with what I've had done on the .:R :wink:

Household pressure washers are pretty weak! You should be fine. Bigger industrial ones (ones at carwashes as well) could be risky though.
-
I have got a bit of colinite on my vinyl mask and cant shift. :sad: What is best to remove it, i have tried fairy liquid as i know this removes wax from paint but it had no effect on the carbon vinyl.
-
Does Dodo juice lime prime not remove wax OR you could try Autosmart Tardis that will def remove the wax

Lime Prime is a waxy consistancy which will probably make it worse so I'd try either bug and Tar shifter or use a back to black product! :happy2:

auto glym bumper care is good for that sort of thing

Cheers chaps. :smiley:

Not the best pictures, but will hopefully give you an idea of what gloss black vinyl wrap looks like on refelx silver :happy2:

Has anyone seen a carbon fibre look roof wrap on a black car? Obv wont stand out as much but think itd be nice attention to detail.

There was a 2008 3door pirelli for sale on here with Matt black vinyl on the roof,mirrors and front lip and rear valance. Think tinytim owns it now. Pictures are still up in the for sale section. It looked slick!

I sure do. It's an absolutely stunning car.
Love the vinyl wrap as well.
I might get some of my own pics of the car up.
The for sale ones don't really show much of the roof so I'll put some up they do.
