I am 80% deaf and I heard you perfectly because you have a great voice and you speak so clearly. And I usually have trouble with North American accents! I'm looking for a line of work to get my grandson into and your method of showing us what can go wrong then correcting it, will be a great help I'm sure. I won't let him get started on a real job until he's done it perfectly on my car a few times. Thanks again!
Who else wasn’t planning on spending 2-3k just for someone else to do it😂
Guys please take the time to give this gentleman a thumbs up for making this video which helps all of us. I get the feeling that the amount of material he used to show us all these techniques cannot be cheap. Show your great fullness by supporting the channel 👍

Exactly my thoughts!!
It's also worth mentioning that when you wrap, you want to stretch the material as much as you can w/o heat, and then only add heat when needed. Too many people rely on heat to stretch the material, which results in over stretching. And by doing that, it will always want to return to normal, when re-heated by the sun. By stretching it as much as possible w/o heat, it can't shrink itself back down later on when it gets hot, because it was never over stretched with heat in the first place.

Heat and cold will ALWAYS make the vinyl jump the gaps on inset body panels, the only way to avoid this is to cheat by completing the 'gap' with a strip (quite invisible and acceptable. - If it's a body cover printed graphic, good luck.

I have been binge watching this for the entire week since I found it. Awesome. Cool of you to show how this is done. I wrapped a Lambo, it was a matchbox. It was tough.
Props and liked video just for saying all five things you'd cover up front.
Thanks for your tips & techniques. After watching several of your videos, I carbon wrapped my roof with Vvivid. It turned out good & I couldn’t have done it without your videos. Thanks!
As someone wanting to play around and get started on wrapping, I think this was an amazing video. You got to the point and showed examples. No filler. Thank you.
I went through a few videos looking for tips and things to avoid.. Your video provided not only what I was looking for but also, gave reasons why you would make the mistake which is a whole new level of teaching your doing. I love it, thank you for the video.
I was struggling with a side view mirror, spent maybe an hour on it and it still looked rough. Watched your segment on hand placement and wow what a difference!! Thank you!
Followed you for quiet a long time now, and I have to just give you a huge thank you. I have learnt so much just sitting in the comfort of my sofa then trying your technique the next day, 💯👌💯👌💯. Thank you for myself and on behalf of all your subscribers 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️

What I found interesting was the squeegee pressure. I used avery gloss black for a roof the other day and I got wrinkles. With avery gloss black being as thin as it is, I actually felt that I was putting to much pressure and was stretching / pushing the film forward causing wrinkles. So I made it stick first before applying more pressure. It worked, but it is an extra (unneeded?) step.
I put on a hood design on my Jeep & also did a minor design using design line on my work truck (freightliner cascadia). All i learned was from your videos. Gotta say, my 1st 2 attempts at "wrapping" were a success in my book. Of course there's some minor flaws. They were my 1st & 2nd attempts after all lol my next 2 attempts will be laying a piece on the hood of my truck, which shouldn't be too bad. But i am also going to try to wrap the chrome grill on the truck black. That will be a challenge. Will be good practice for laying in recesses. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you Im learning to wrap now with my own cars and this vid already taught me how to fix a lot of my mistakes.
I'm an auto glass tech in Walnut ca. 5 star rated tech. I'm learning vynil because of your videos and I'm wrapping my own car and possibly just have a side hobby to make income.

It takes practice and the vinyl isn't set right away so you can lift and set a few times although it sounds like you're ripping off the whole panel with it. Lol. Like the other person said it could be the brand/type of wrap. Try something thicker. Just be patient. Remember he's in a controlled environment indoors so contamination is minimal and he's a pro so bubbles don't happen with him but it does when you're learning. 😁

I have hung Silk Handprints Murals....Ceilings you name it...So I have a feel for handling delicate materials... to Me This is almost second nature once you get a feel for the behavior of the Wrap.

Great tips thanks. I watch a video you did wrapping a laptop lid, it was helpful but i just can't get the corners without wrinkles , i done about 30 now. Any chance you could do a detailed one for the corners. Cheers from Australia.
I just had my bike wrapped. But I didn’t found this video before. Now I feel like I cand do it better and I will try to wrap my helmet. You have my apreciation and definetely my subscription. Just have one question for you : Do you recomend buying expensive vinyl or you think the cheap one it’s good enough? I have payed for my vinyl around 4€/m2 and I’m afraid to stretch it. Thank you verry much!

I really, really appreciate that 51 seconds in to the video I've heard the 5 mistakes and have a pretty solid idea why I should watch this. It's like a proper essay, I dig it.
Thanks for this. I've only wrapped my hood once but know what I did wrong, it doesn't look horrible but I notice it. Off topic, what gloss purple is that in the background?
I definitely use too much vinyl but I actually didn't know that cutting it flush prevents it from lifting. Great tips! Will be integrating this into my 3rd time vinyl wrapping.
