Hey Christian, just wanted to let you know I've been wrapping my 2009 f150 at home. I'm using Avery Gloss Black. I've done a tailgate strip, the rocker panels, hood spikes (curves of my scoops) and the rear bumper. I've also done my brother's roof on his mustang. Long story short, I couldn't have done it without you. I watched 10s of your videos before doing it. The Avery is very easy to work with, as you've said. Thanks again

I so wish I lived in Canada, and could actually afford to be trained by you in person. I'm 45 and always love learning new things. Your KZread page became a page where I watch your videos at least once a day, and I've wrapped quite a few areas of my Accord. It's not perfect which is highly annoying to me because I'm a bit OCD about details, but without any training I've done a pretty good job just by watching your videos. Thank you so much for your channel and videos, your work and the way you teach is amazing.

I agree with you. Im 42 and love doing detailed work and stumbled on his channel. I will be doing my first interior wrap soon for my daughter's car. We dont have anyone who wraps cars near me so Im looking forward to learn as I go.

You sir are the epitome of thoroughness. Your videos are by far the best on KZread, the detail that you go into is just awesome. Keep up the good work

Thanks for all the awesome content, you have helped motivate me to wrap my e46 at home! I already wrapped the roof, and I actually just ordered the vinyl for the rest of the car!

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Next year I'm going to start wrapping. You're the best !!

Great content man, made me want to start wrapping as well looking at all these videos help so much ❤️ thank you so much man you really motivate me

Thanks for the insight Chris. I've been watching your videos lately and decided I will use my 2001 Renault Thalia as a practice car, because it already has lots of surface defects and needs some care on the outside. I will also try to do the inside (dashboard mainly), but I will need to see how the foil will go down on a non-smooth surface first. Keep up inspiring people, you definitely got me :)

Great content man. After watching your videos, and never attempted a car wrap before I actually ( maybe misguidedly ) believe I could do it! Will definitely attempt to wrap my Audi TT mk1 after being inspired 👍🏾

I’ve recently decided I’m going to wrap my car and have just stumbled across your channel, I cannot believe the amount of information I am getting from your channel, you don’t have to make these videos, let alone as informative as they are, yet you do make these video and they are so helpful man, props to you!

Hey Christian, I’m about to start wrapping my Hyundai Santa Fe in matte aurora pearl. I just placed the order and your videos have given me the confidence to do so! Thank you so much

Great video. I was wondering if you had an essential tools video. I just wrapped some areas of my 2017 F150 over the wknd. That Vivid carbon fiber wrap worked great. Adding some heat to the finish really brought out the shine. Finished product came out excellent. I couldn’t ask for a better turnout. Thanks for the instructions!

About to try wrapping my granturismo for my very first car wrap. Wish me luck I’m gonna need it lol

Another great video 👍🏻

That silver triangle tool is called a platinum EZ reach and yes it can be bought on amazon

Hey CK, Im a brand new wrapper and your videos are awesome. Ive been painting for 7 years, Lquid wrapping for 3 years and now Im gonna give vinyl a shot. Ive done a couple side mirrors using your guidance and they can out good. I was told (by inoztek video) that iso alcohol should not be used because it will dry the film. Is this true for all wraps? Ill be doing my first overall as soon as I decide a brand (leaning with vivvid since ive used it before). Thanks for the vids. Subbed.

13:52 the guys at the shop I used to shoot video for always put them in an empty thick gatorade bottle.

Love the video just coming across your channel and I’m liking the content🔥 this really helped me out I’m going to be starting up a side hustle doing car wraps and if it’s successful enough I’ll push for a legit business with my own company name 💪🏽

@CK Wraps can you make a video of how to prepare a car for wrap that has a lot of damage to the paint? Like key stripes, little paint fall offs from rocks etc. without repaint? If it is possible? Thanks

Only thing u missed was the wrap would like few links to places u recommend to get wrap 4 beginners...absolutely love yr vids I'm gona wrap my vauxhall astra soon using yr tips 👏👏👏👏✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Hey bro, this probably isnt the best idea but i kinda want to carbon wrap parts of my engine cover, but with all the heat in there, you think it would even last?

What size of roll would it take to do full truck like 2013 f150 crew cab short box

I haven’t bought anything into the equation that I don’t use very often? My brain went on pause when you said this. Even you froze as you said it. Only the items I use daily are here.

For the amount of videos i've watched, i have yet to notice you use the Gold EZ Reach triangle... Do you not really use it? If so, can you make a video on where and how you're using it? It's mostly used on glass for tinting so i'm confused on how you would use it on paint. Thanks @CKwraps

whats ur schedule of wrap courses, PPF, amd maybe specialty areas like inlays, bumpera Caliper wrapping etc

Ck were the shield gaurd at? Been looking can't find on vivids website. Did they discontinue product? Will soapy water do the trick

Thank you proooo

btw how to remove the wrap? is there any tools and chemicals needed?

Is there a brand of spray bottle you prefer?

If you’ve never wrapped anything before I’d definitely say practice on different things before attempting a full vehicle. Even after wrapping a few parts for my car and watching a shed load of videos I’ve learned a lot but I still wouldn’t jump into wrapping a full vehicle. Be patient and learn before you try it or expect to get frustrated quickly and wasting money on wrap.

The first think I wrapped was my motorcycle tank on my Yamaha R6. In one peice white carbon fiber. It was really cool, but very difficult. I thought it would be pretty tough. And if I could wrap it, I could wrap just about anything.

The first thing I wrapped was my r6 and even though it was a challenge and required effort, it was worth the challenge. Now my bike is a gloss canary yellow and I’m about to change it to something else. Only advice I would give is try to make sure you have nothing planned for that day if you’re trying to do the whole bike in one shot lol. The worst thing that can happen is that it doesn’t come out as nice as you want but by that point you’ll figure out your weaknesses, do some research on how to fix those weaknesses and you can give it another shot.

I see Christian cut a little extra on the initial piece of vinyl and then peel a corner and stick it to an adjacent panel (where the magnet would likely go anyway)

Hello, I'm the CEO who runs a wrap shop in Korea. I would like to get a VINYL CUTTER, SPECIAL KNIFE FOR VEHICLE WRAP among the tools I just introduced. But how much would it cost?

After spending 3 days wrapping a hood and spoiler first time (and raging many times with wrinkles) I want to design some sort of rail system to hold vinyl clamped to posts above the surface to wrap. So then I can glass surface without the rest of the vinyl bunching up laying across that will have to be pulled up. I had a incredibly difficult time trying to work wrinkles on the removed curved spoiler that also angled 3 directions on the ends/bottom. And that's with 2 inlays on bottom. I had to make relief cuts like every inch on the corners to heat stretch tuck the vinyl in. I have some speaker stands on tripods maybe I'll modify with metal plates and spring clamps next time. Also that wrapcut pro cut-tape does suck for curves. Its useless and wont stick on mildest of angles. Wont buy it ever again

I’m wondering the same!

Christian for clarification there is no difference whatsoever. They are the same chemical. Unfortunately there are many different naming conventions, this does lead to some confusion. So look for the two commonly used names Isopropanol Alcohol 70% or Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 70% are both the same used for cleaning hope this helps. Some shady people add acetone claming it's Isopropyl Alcohol as acetone is cheaper was really bad during the Covid outbreak.

The fact he says its "$3-4" for a Litre of 70% iso and the cheapest I can find 4L for is $40, shows how much Covid drove up prices :(
