Not only is a foil wrap significantly cheaper than a new paint job, it also looks really cool. If you’re still not convinced, here are some more reasons why you should foil your car instead of painting it.

Resale Value

Your new foil wrap will protect the original paintwork, keeping it looking as good as new. This will add a lot of value to your car when you are ready to sell it. Remember, the new colour that you choice for your car might not be popular among people who are looking to purchase your car. In this case you can simply whip off the foil cover and the original manufacturer’s paintwork will be revealed.

Endless Options

Foil wraps come in a wide range of different colours and styles and there are literally hundreds of digitally created designs available. This means that you can transform your car in any way you choose and the design of your dreams might be just one simply step away. With foil wraps, the only limits are your own imagination.

Time to Install

A new paint job can take two weeks or even longer to complete, leaving you parted from your precious car in the meantime. However, it takes just two to five days to complete a foil warp and at the end of this time your will be able to hit the road in your pride and joy.

Protection

With a foil wrap every inch of your car will be fully protected from the elements. The original paintwork on the body of your car will be able to age naturally underneath the foil wrap and will not suffer from the effects of the sun, wind and rain. The paintwork will also be protected from stone chips and other day to day driving hazards.

Ease of Maintenance

Let’s face it, constantly waxing, polishing and cleaning your car can be a real pain. Foil wraps are extremely easy to maintain and mean that you can say goodbye to waxing your car forever. Simply hand wash the foil wrap with soap and water from time to time and you are good to go.

Long Lasting Effect

Most foil wraps last from between five and eight years and can be safely and quickly removed whenever required. Keep your car in your garage when you are not using it to keep the foil wrap in perfect condition for longer.

Decorating Your Car With Lights https://uk-car-valeters.org/decorating-your-car-with-lights/ Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:07:14 +0000 https://uk-car-valeters.org/?p=13 Lights are a great way to accentuate any vehicle. Not only will they add a bit of class, but technology has enabled you to enjoy many choices in terms of the type and where they can be placed. What are some great suggestions to keep in mind and which features will each provide?

Lights for the Holidays

Many automobile enthusiasts will choose to add a bit of visual holiday cheer with the use of lights. The most common variety are red and green variants which can be placed around the undercarriage or on either bumper. However, the very same approaches (although with different colour schemes) can be used during any time of the year. It is common to utilise tubular LED lights which are protected from the harsh conditions of the road.

Interior Concerns

Another great idea is to add to the ambiance of your interior with a selection or either neon strips or LED fixtures. These are generally placed underneath the dashboard so that they will illuminate the feet of the passengers. However, lights can also be used on stick shifts, around a radio and inside the glove compartment. It is important to keep in mind that any such lights can interfere with your ability to see the road. They should never be placed within your direct field of vision.It is always wise to check with your local authorities, as there may be guidelines and regulations which prohibit the placement of lights around certain areas of your vehicle. Lights are a cheap, scintillating and eye-catching option for anyone who may be looking to add a bit of visual “spark” to their car.
