Vinyl wrapped the roof and rear defuser

I considered trying this myself, but I think I'd feel better with a shop warranty in case it starts to bubble/peel.

depends on your technique and material used, but it shouldn't bubble or peel at all if done right.

Well material used would be good (most likely 3M), but considering I've never done this before I don't know how my technique would be.

Looks really good.

How do I go about getting this done (who do I look up to take care of this for me)? I'd love to get my roof, front valence, rear diffuser and tail lights (I'm in Lancaster, CA if anyone knows anyone).

Also, how do you care for it when it comes to washing, road debris, etc?

Thanks!

I was told that you care for it just the same as paint. I have already noticed, though, that the vinyl is more apt to get swirl marks than paint so make sure to use very soft clothes on it.
