Vinyl wrap removal
Safe, Clean Wrap Removal & Re-Wrap Prep
End-of-lease or ready for a new look? We use heat-controlled techniques to protect paint, remove adhesive, and deliver a clean, re-wrap-ready surface. Minimal downtime, maximum care.
THINGS TO NOTE
Wraps can last up to 10 years, but prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the vinyl to crack and dry out. Once cracking begins, removal becomes more challenging, requiring the wrap to be taken off piece by piece using a plastic razor blade and a heat torch or heat gun. The heat rejuvenates the vinyl, making it easier to peel off.
ADHESIVE REMOVAL
After removing all the pieces of the wrap, adhesive residue often remains. At Central Image Wraps, we use high-quality vinyl from Avery and 3M, which usually minimizes adhesive left behind. However, when removing wraps we didn’t install, any remaining adhesive can’t be scraped off. Instead, we use a chemical called Rapid Remover by RapidTac, followed by an IPA alcohol wipe-down to eliminate any lingering toxic chemicals.
