Oh sorry its a 3M wrap

I bought a car from a dealer and once I got the vin # I realized my car is wrapped! I know nothing about it so thanks for this video!!! I am trying to learn about it. The dealer doesn’t even know when the wrap was put on the 2015 Challenger GT. It is a really cool different looking matte or satin black with the red stripes placed on. Only reason I checked the vin was the inner door jam color was pitch black glossy instead of the unique paint /wrap I thought was on the car. Any tips on cleaning it? Or tips at all??

I've had my car wrapped in 2015 and it was in storage until 2022 and it was all faded and damaged looking because the storage garage had a window with sun coming in from time to time .
