Those of us who own cars will admit the fact that we often find ourselves hunting for ways to extend the durability of our vehicle signage and prevent their new-like appearance from fading away. However, not many of us are aware of the proper signage maintenance methods except the one most obvious – washing. If you want to enhance the life and performance of your car signs, you will have to do more than rinsing them with water.
Let’s have a look at some of the things you can do for increasing the durability of car signs:
Perform Cleaning On A Regular Basis
If you verily want to extend the life of your side decals or Rear Window Signage, start with this. Wash the exterior surface of your car using mild and non-abrasive detergents. Make sure that the cloth or sponge you are going to use for wiping is not rough.
Brush? Don’t Even Think About It
Making use of a brush for eliminating dirt on car graphics is strongly discouraged by wrap manufacturers. The reason is that it can chip the design on the signs and also cause its edges to come off. Use automatic washes instead as they are entirely safe.
Quit Applying Excessive Pressure
When you are cleaning your car with pressure wash, do not allow the pressure to go beyond 138 bar. Be careful about the temperature too, and make sure that it does not exceed 82 degrees Celsius. Spray the water on the surface of the vehicle from at least a foot away, holding the nozzle at right angle to the signage. That way, you would not have to worry about peeling edges.
Utilise Suitable Products For Spot Cleaning
Prior to using any solution, try softening the most tricky spots with the help of a hot mixture of water and soap. If this method fails, use a spot cleaning product to get the job done and rinse off any residue immediately after that. But test the product on an inconspicuous area before using it on the whole signage, to make sure it is safe for use.
Eliminate Fuel Spills As Soon As Possible
Accidental fuel spills on the signage of your car must be gotten rid of immediately if you do not want to break a sweat later on trying to clean up obstinate dirts. Eliminate them as soon as possible using soap and water solution.
