Removing old graphics cleanly requires care with heat, adhesive and the paint beneath. It is usually the first step before rebranding or selling a vehicle.
Choose it before re-wrapping or when a vehicle changes ownership or branding.

Supplying measurements
Send the make, model and year of the vehicle, photos of each side, the front and the back, and any roof, bumper or door-handle details. Tell us if existing branding must come off first.
Artwork requirements
Supply vector artwork with fonts outlined and CMYK colours, and note any brand colours that must be matched closely. The artwork is laid onto a vehicle template and a proof is sent for approval before printing.
Survey and installation
The vehicle must be clean and available for the application, and where and how the work is done is confirmed per project. Fleets or multi-vehicle programmes may need a sample vehicle or survey before a formal quotation.
Maintenance
Wash by hand or with a soft-brush system and keep high-pressure jets away from the edges of the graphics. Avoid solvent-based polishes on printed vinyl.
