Fancee Car Wrapsyou can expect to leave your car for 4-5 days and then the team do the following:

Wash and polish the car check for any damages
Strip the car using a licenced in-house mechanic who removes the handles and bumpers in order to wrap
Start by wrapping the large panels and then move onto the smaller sections of the car
We recommend if you don’t like the chrome around the car to spray as wrapping doesn’t last long as long on chrome. (I did this with my car and it looks awesome)
The wrap doesn’t damage the paintwork if you would like to remove it the cost of removing is $800 – $1000
