Car Wrap HELP NEEDED

[pgum]

I recently wrapped my porsche cayenne with Avery Dennison vinyl wrap. after completing the wrap I noticed some of the pieces, specifically around the edges, have begun to peel off the car. I have tried heating them and resticking them but it only makes it worse. Any solutions or tips?

Mini torch might help.

 

It sounds like the edges still had some grease/contamination.

 

Use 90%alcohol then primer 94 on your edges next time.

so just to confirm, I should lift the peeling pieces and wipe down the surface of the car with alcohol, apply primer 94 and then place the wrap down?

[Dano]

No, that's what you should do next time.

 

For now using a mini torch to heat the edges might help. If the glue is too contaminated, and won't stay down, you will need to remove and replace the film.

[pgum]

Can you think of anything else i can do that doesn't require restarting the wrap job?

[Dano]

Did you try to clean the edge and use a mini torch?

[pgum]

yea i cleaned the edge with isopropyl alcohol solution and used a heat gun on it but it only makes it stick temporarily. 

[Dano]

The glue is spent. Nothing to do but rewrap it if you want it to have a professional appearance.

If the problem is with the glue of the car wrap, you can use an adhesion promoter
