Amazing color! How well does Vinyl hold up to the elements for someone thinking of a wrap for a DD? How do you wash it?

Only had it for a few weeks...but so far so good.

From what I've heard, it should hold up fine for 2-4 years. The way I look at it, it protects the OEM paint and is cheaper than a new paint job!

As for care; just wash with water/soap and touch up w/ a Quick Detailer. The glossy (not matte) vinyl CAN be waxed with something like a Meguiar's Quick Wax...but you should double check w/ the Vinyl maker. Matte shouldn't be waxed...and neither type should be polished w/ any compound. Hope that helps!
