As a general rule, wash your custom trailer wraps whenever they appear dirty–the sooner the better! The longer contaminants are left on your custom trailer wraps, the harder they’ll be to clean off (and the more likely you are to apply too much elbow grease in the attempt).
Whenever you notice your custom trailer wraps getting dirty, complete the following steps:
Most custom trailer wraps may be run through automated car washes. However, touchless car washes are always best. We recommend avoiding brush car washes whenever possible, since these can dull, scratch, or otherwise damage your graphics.
Hand washing is preferable, but pressure washing is acceptable as long as you follow these guidelines:
Difficult contaminants, such as bug splatter, bird droppings, and tree sap, may not come off using the gentle hand-washing method described earlier. For best results, soften difficult contaminants before cleaning by soaking them in hot, soapy water for several minutes. Once the soak time is up, proceed with the normal handwashing techniques, then rinse the area thoroughly and dry.
If the contaminant still hasn’t gone anywhere, consider using a commercial bug-and-tar-remover or a mix of two parts Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to one part water. Spot clean the contaminants using these special solutions, avoiding any rough scrubbing or abrasive tools as you do.
