this shop they use hairdryer.

Some shops use lighter..

Not sure the main purpose of it but i guess it helps mould the sticker in place

We use heat guns as well, a lot more even heat and less chance of a catastrophe. its used to soften the vinyl which helps it strech and conform. whanen you do edges you heat it after to help the memory of the material set in.

Skinzwraps have been around ahwhile, they are an awesome company in the industry.

Isn't that a little risky trimming these pieces on the car? I'd hate to pull that vinyl off someday and find out there are small cuts in the clearcoat from trimming.

I just had my daily driver wrapped (advertising) and although they were very careful I'm sure there will end up being some marks in the paint....

Would it be worth it to those of you with questions for me to write a "wraps explained" thread with answers to common questions?
