Default Wrapping

Just wondering has anyone wrapped their XC90?

Was it a good job? Any issues or problems?

Haven't had a complete wrap, not even a panel wrap, but we did get the Chrome surrounding the windows on our XC60 done in black. They matched the paintwork really well in colour, and it looks like it came out the factory like it. .

Save your money, same with specialist coats/protection etc, unless you are happy to pay out just to feel better about 'your paintwork protection'.

Wrapping unlike 'protection coats' does offer some protection, but a few hundred £ spent now and then with a good body shop to clean up chips etc, costs less.

Yanni quoted me £4,500 to wrap a new XC90.

And now we know how he can afford to drive what he drives! 3m do a great clear PPF (paint protection film) that has 'self healing ' properties btw.

Compare that to the cost of minor bodywork correction. Even a complete respray could be less than that - just a guess.

I was quoted £1500 for a complete wrap with contrasting black gloss mirrors, window rims and roof rails

That is a quite a project.
Did it take long to do?
