With regular washing and sensible care, a Crystal Green wrap holds its shine and color for years. Cars kept in a garage or out of constant harsh sun last noticeably longer than ones parked outside all day. Treat the gloss like paint and it stays looking fresh for a long stretch.

It protects it. The Crystal Green film sits on top of your factory paint and takes the daily wear, light scuffs, grime and sun, so the original finish stays sealed underneath. As long as your existing paint is sound and well bonded when you wrap, it comes off clean later with no harm done.

A wrap costs less than a quality paint job, goes on faster, and it is reversible, so you can return to your original color whenever you want. A respray is permanent and can lower resale value if a buyer wanted the factory color. With Crystal Green you get the bold glossy look now and keep your options open later.

Our rolls are 1.52m (5ft) wide and come in 6m, 18m and 23m lengths. As a rough guide, a small hatchback or a set of accent panels works with the 6m roll, a sedan or coupe full wrap usually needs the 18m, and a large SUV, truck or anyone wanting extra for mistakes should go with the 23m. When in doubt, size up so you have spare for door jambs and recuts.

Yes. The Henkel solvent-based acrylic adhesive is air-release, so air bubbles push out to the edges through tiny channels instead of trapping under the film. That makes it far more forgiving for a first timer. You can install dry or wet, take your time on the curves, and a careful DIYer can get clean results with a squeegee, a heat gun and patience.

It does. When you are ready for a change, warm the film with a heat gun and pull it back slowly at a low angle. On healthy factory paint it lifts away without tearing up the finish underneath. Any light adhesive left behind wipes off with adhesive remover.

Hand washing is best. Use a gentle car soap, a soft mitt and clean water, then dry with a microfiber towel to avoid spots. Skip harsh solvents and stiff brushes, and treat bug splatter or bird droppings quickly so they do not sit on the gloss. Avoid the spinning brushes at automatic car washes.

Crystal Green is built to hold its color and shine, and it handles a wide temperature range from -30 to +140 C without trouble. Like any finish, constant direct sun is the main thing that ages it, so a wash routine and some shade when you can will keep the green looking deep and bright far longer.
