Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — every full vehicle wrap at Wrap Trap includes a complimentary ceramic coating application. This protects your new wrap, makes it easier to clean, and extends its lifespan. It's our way of making sure you get the most value and the longest-lasting results. No catch, no upsell.

A high-quality vinyl wrap typically lasts 5–7 years with proper care. Colored PPF can last even longer — up to 10 years. Factors that affect lifespan include sun exposure, how often you wash, and whether the vehicle is garaged. We use only premium, industry-leading films to ensure maximum durability.

No — in fact, a wrap protects your factory paint. When professionally installed and removed, vinyl wraps leave your original paint in the same condition (or better) than before. This actually helps preserve your vehicle's resale value. We always inspect your paint before installation to make sure it's in good condition for wrapping.

A full color change wrap typically takes 3–5 business days depending on the vehicle and complexity. Chrome deletes and partial wraps can often be done in 1–2 days. We never rush the job — quality and precision come first. We'll give you a clear timeline when you drop off.

We're located in Hollywood, FL and serve all of South Florida — including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Plantation, Miramar, Hallandale Beach, Coral Springs, Weston, Sunrise, and everywhere in between. Most of our customers are within a 20-mile radius, but we regularly see cars from across Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties too.

We understand that a quality wrap is an investment. Contact us to discuss payment options — we want to make sure you can get the look you want without stress. Call us at (305) 244-8908 to talk about what works for your budget.

Absolutely. Check out our Gallery page for photos of recent projects, or follow us on Instagram @wrap_trap_ where we post new builds regularly. You can also visit our shop at 1810 N Dixie Hwy in Hollywood to see wrapped vehicles in person and feel the materials we use.

Yes — every job at Wrap Trap comes with a warranty. We stand behind our work 100%. If you notice any issues like edges lifting or bubbles forming, bring your vehicle back and we'll fix it. Our warranty covers installation quality, and the premium films we use also carry their own manufacturer warranties for added peace of mind.

We offer hundreds of colors and finishes — gloss, matte, satin, metallic, color-shift, chrome, carbon fiber texture, and more. We carry films from multiple premium, industry-leading brands. If you have a specific color in mind, come by the shop to see physical samples. Colors always look different on a screen versus in person, and we'll help you find the perfect match.

For most drivers, absolutely. A vinyl wrap lets you completely change your car's color for a fraction of what a quality paint job costs. It protects your factory paint, preserves resale value (since it's fully removable), and offers color/finish options that paint simply can't match. At Wrap Trap, we also include a FREE ceramic coating with every full wrap, adding hundreds of dollars in extra value. It's one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle's appearance.

Yes — partial wraps are very popular. We can wrap the hood, roof, mirrors, spoiler, or any combination of panels. Partial wraps are a great way to add style without the commitment or cost of a full wrap. Two-tone looks are especially popular right now.

A wrap is a removable vinyl film applied over your existing paint, while a paint job permanently changes the color. Wraps are typically less expensive ($2,500–$5,500 vs $3,000–$10,000+ for paint), can be removed without damage, offer more color options (including finishes paint can't replicate like matte and color-shift), and protect your factory paint underneath. A quality wrap also takes days, not weeks. Read our full comparison on our blog.

Wrapping a leased vehicle is one of the smartest moves you can make. Since wraps are fully removable, you can customize your lease however you want and remove it before returning the vehicle. Your factory paint stays protected underneath. We wrap leased vehicles all the time — it's actually one of the best use cases for vinyl wraps.

Hand washing is best — avoid automatic car washes with brushes. Use a gentle automotive soap and a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. If your wrap came with our free ceramic coating (included with every full wrap), maintenance is even easier — dirt and grime slide right off. We'll give you a full care guide at pickup. Check out our blog post on wrap maintenance for detailed tips.

Matte black is consistently our #1 requested color — it looks incredible on everything from Teslas to trucks. Satin finishes (satin black, satin dark grey) are a close second. Color-shift/chameleon wraps are trending hard for show cars and enthusiasts. Nardo grey remains popular on German vehicles. Come see our color samples in person at our Hollywood shop to find your perfect match.

Teslas are one of our most-wrapped vehicles. We regularly wrap Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. Tesla owners love full color changes (especially matte and satin finishes), chrome deletes, and colored PPF. The Tesla's clean body lines make for a beautiful wrap canvas. We know every curve and panel on these cars by heart.

They serve different purposes. Colored PPF offers superior physical protection (self-healing, rock chip resistance) plus color change — it's the premium option. Vinyl wraps offer more color and finish options at a lower price point. For drivers who want maximum protection AND a new color, colored PPF is the way to go. For those who want the widest color selection at a more affordable price, vinyl wrap is the smart choice. We'll help you decide which is right for your vehicle and budget.

Colored PPF typically lasts 7–10 years with proper care — significantly longer than standard vinyl wrap. The self-healing top coat keeps it looking fresh, and the thicker material provides ongoing protection against road debris. It's a long-term investment in both style and protection.

Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages of colored PPF over vinyl wrap. Light scratches and swirl marks disappear on their own when exposed to heat (sunlight or warm water). In South Florida's climate, this happens naturally. Your vehicle always looks freshly detailed without any extra effort.

Colored PPF is the premium option and typically costs more than a standard vinyl wrap — usually in the $5,000–$8,000+ range for a full vehicle, compared to $2,500–$5,500 for vinyl. The higher price reflects the thicker, self-healing material and superior protection. For drivers who want the absolute best in both appearance and protection, colored PPF delivers unmatched value over its 7–10 year lifespan.

Chrome delete pricing varies by vehicle — some cars have minimal chrome, others (looking at you, BMW) have chrome everywhere. Most chrome deletes run between $300–$800 depending on complexity. A Tesla Model 3/Y chrome delete is one of our most popular and affordable services. Call us at (305) 244-8908 for a quick quote specific to your vehicle.

Teslas are one of our most popular chrome delete vehicles. The Model 3 and Model Y especially benefit from deleting the chrome trim — it completely transforms the look from a stock appearance to a sleek, blacked-out aesthetic. We do Tesla chrome deletes regularly and know every piece of trim by heart. Most Tesla chrome deletes are done in one day.

A professional chrome delete using premium vinyl typically lasts 5–7 years. The material we use is specifically designed for exterior automotive applications, so it handles South Florida's sun, rain, and heat without peeling or fading. And since it protects the original chrome underneath, you can always return to stock if you change your mind.

Absolutely. While gloss and satin black are the most popular chrome delete finishes, we can match virtually any color. Some customers choose to color-match their chrome to the vehicle's body color, while others pick carbon fiber texture or a contrasting accent color. There are no limits — let us know your vision and we'll make it happen.

Professional-grade ceramic coatings last 2–5 years depending on the package and how well the vehicle is maintained. Our coatings are applied in a controlled environment by trained technicians to ensure maximum bonding and longevity. We'll recommend the right package based on your needs and budget.

Yes — and we highly recommend it. Ceramic coating on top of a vinyl wrap extends the wrap's life, makes it easier to clean, and adds an extra layer of UV protection. That's exactly why we include FREE ceramic coating with every full wrap at Wrap Trap. No other shop in South Florida includes this — it's the Wrap Trap difference.

South Florida is actually one of the best places to get ceramic coating. The intense UV rays, salt air, frequent rain, and bug splatter take a serious toll on unprotected paint. Ceramic coating creates a barrier against all of these elements, keeps your car looking cleaner between washes, and makes maintenance significantly easier. For vehicles in South Florida, ceramic coating isn't a luxury — it's practically a necessity.

Wax provides temporary protection that lasts weeks to a few months before washing away. Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent chemical bond to your vehicle's surface that lasts 2–5 years. Ceramic coating provides far superior hydrophobic protection, UV defense, chemical resistance, and durability. It also adds a deeper, more vivid gloss than any wax can achieve. Think of it as the difference between a band-aid and body armor.

Absolutely. Fleet wraps are one of the best marketing investments a local business can make — each wrapped vehicle generates 30,000–70,000 impressions per day. We work with businesses across South Florida to wrap vans, trucks, cars, and trailers. Consistent branding across your fleet turns every vehicle into a mobile billboard. Volume pricing available for multi-vehicle projects.

Commercial graphic wraps typically last 5–7 years with proper care. For fleet vehicles that see heavy daily use, we use premium-grade films designed specifically for commercial applications. We'll help you choose the right material for your usage pattern and budget, and we can replace individual damaged panels without redoing the entire vehicle.

Commercial wrap pricing depends on the vehicle size and design complexity. A basic partial wrap with logo and contact info might start around $1,500–$2,500. A full commercial wrap on a cargo van or box truck typically runs $3,000–$6,000+. The ROI is exceptional — compared to other advertising methods, vehicle wraps deliver the lowest cost per impression.

While our primary focus is land vehicles, we can handle marine graphic wraps and lettering for boats. The materials and techniques differ from automotive wraps, so give us a call at (305) 244-8908 to discuss your marine project and we'll let you know if we're the right fit.
