A while back I bought some vinyl to wrap my hood and roof..
Word of advice.. do it in a garage..
I waited a while to try it because of crappy weather in the keys and finally I get a nice afternoon with no wind.. I wash the car, claybar the hood.. did the passenger side first and eveything went good it looked awesome.. I pull the paper off the driver side and a tsunami from Hell rolls up, the entire thing pulls up and sticks to itself.. there's dirt all over the adhesive.. I hate living in the tropics..

Long story short. I wasted a bunch of money. Learn from me and do it in a garage..

 

That sucks man.

 

sorry to hear.

i wet the adhesive side considerably with a spray bottle as soon as i peel the backing so that i can literally wash away any grit/dust that might blow onto the adhesive side. after you position you can use a soft squeegee to push the water out and then use a heatgun to shape the corners or over decorative lines on the panels.

 

Yeah I wet it down pretty good.. used a blow dryer.. but no go.. there's a rediculous amount of coral dust in the keys and the weather is just about as unpredictable as it can get

 

Bummer...............

 

That is a bummer. But yes a garage / controlled environment is always a good idea. If you (or anybody) is using our 3D Carbon Fiber Wrap, it is always done dry, never use a wet method with our wrap.
