If you're interested in mastering this craft, here are some inputs from vehicle wrap experts on how to do the job right.
Expert tips to installing vehicle wraps:
Digital Heat Gun
Vehicle wrap tip #1:
Tape the design to the exterior first before removing the backing of the film. This will ensure that everything is in position with the template. According to an expert, taping the design will allow you to check what the printer came up with. See to it that everything is where it should be.
Vehicle wrap tip #2:
Avoid making additional cuts or pointless marks in your vinyl graphics. To achieve this, remove mirrors and wiper blades and other similar elements.
Vehicle wrap tip #3:
Wet applications make vehicle wrapping more difficult. Experts do not recommend this, as it will result in the breakage of the adhesive. You may not see the effects right away, but it could be damaged before it reaches the life-span recommended. Plus, removal of the vinyl is more convenient if you do a dry installation.
Experts' tools for installing vehicle wraps:
What you need to make the process of installing your wrap smoother and more convenient.
Vehicle wrap tool #1:
Squeegees are necessary for vehicle wrapping. Experts even use two different ones: a felt squeegee for areas that are difficult to wrap, since this will make it possible for you not to scratch the vinyl; the standard squeegee (the hard one) for the rest of the area. A good squeegee is made of a flexible material. The purpose for this is to avoid the squeegee from getting scratched. Scratches on your squeegee will result in what would look like scratch marks on your window graphic.
Vehicle wrap tool #2:
Experts also suggest the use of an air release tool or pin. Some people make do with razor blades to burst bubbles. But this will just end up with your film getting a tear that would cause your vinyl to fall apart.
Using an air release tool allows you to preserve the strength of your film, as it will pop the bubble within its own boundary.
Vehicle wrap tool #3:
Finally, keep a heat gun handy. This will help stretch the film. The recommended kind is called overlaminates.
