With good care a gloss wrap like Night Blue holds its shine for years. A car that lives in a garage and gets gentle hand washing will keep that deep blue gloss longer than one parked in full sun and weather every day. Treat it well and it stays looking fresh for a long stretch.

No. Night Blue actually protects the paint underneath. The vinyl takes the daily hits from sun, light grime and washing while your original paint stays sealed and clean below it. When the wrap comes off later, the factory finish is still there.

A wrap is the easier call for most people. A respray in this kind of deep blue costs far more, takes longer and changes your paint forever. Night Blue gives you the same painted-on gloss look, goes on faster, shields the original paint and peels back off whenever you want a different color.

It comes on a 1.52m wide roll (5ft) in 6m, 18m and 23m lengths. The 6m suits a roof, hood or a set of accents. A full small car usually lands around the 18m mark, and larger cars or SUVs are safer with the 23m. Message us your model and we will help you pick.

Yes, many DIYers do. The film uses a Henkel solvent-based acrylic air-release adhesive, so air pushes out through tiny channels instead of trapping under the vinyl. You can lay it dry or wet. Flat panels and accents are very doable at home, and a full car is smoother with a second pair of hands or a pro for the tight curves.

Yes. Warm the vinyl with a little heat and it peels away in sheets. The air-release adhesive is made to lift off without tearing up your factory paint, so you are left with your original finish underneath and ready for whatever comes next.

Hand wash with a mild car soap and a soft mitt, then rinse and dry. Skip harsh brushes and stay clear of automatic car washes with stiff bristles. For a deep color like Night Blue, drying after a wash keeps water spots from dulling that gloss. Park in shade or a garage when you can.

Gloss vinyl is built to hold its color and shine, and the film handles real-world temperatures from -30 to +140 C. Like any finish, constant harsh sun and neglect will wear it faster, so regular gentle washing and shade keep that midnight blue looking deep and glossy for far longer.
