Covering the car body with coloured film

Modern tuning long ago outgrew ordinary styling and power upgrades. Today it means not only fast, good-looking improvements but also better protection for the car. And wrapping a car in coloured film is a quick, safe and striking way to completely change how it looks, without touching the factory paintwork at all. At the Detailing Lab studio we know how to do this properly and in full accordance with the technical requirements.

Applying coloured film is not only about looks. It is an investment in preserving the value of the car. When you sell it you can take the film off and the bodywork underneath is still in excellent condition.

At Detailing Lab in Chisinau we use only premium vinyl from proven manufacturers. Before the work starts we carry out:

• A deep wash;
• Degreasing of the surface;
• Where needed, light paint correction;
• Removal of individual parts, so the film can be applied neatly.

Professional coloured wrapping demands experience and precision. Mistakes lead to bubbles, lifting and uneven surfaces. That is exactly why the work should be trusted to the specialists at Detailing Lab.

The advantages of applying film are:

• The factory paint is preserved;
• Protection against chips, fine scratches and road chemicals;
• The option of returning the car to its original colour;
• A huge choice of shades and textures.

In our studio you can choose either paint protection film or a vinyl wrap. And unlike a respray, the process takes less time and does not require dismantling the body on the scale that paintwork does.

The climate of Moldova makes this especially relevant: temperature swings, dust and sun wear the lacquer down faster. The film takes the hit and helps preserve the car's original colour for years to come.

Coloured wrapping is carried out in several stages under the close supervision of trained specialists. Our work is built on the following steps:

• Cutting the material to the geometry of the car;
• Applying the film with heat;
• Wrapping the edges and checking the quality;
• A final inspection and handover of the car.

The timescale is always assessed individually, but as a rule the whole job takes no more than two to five days. Thanks to patience and diligent work your car takes on a new character. A car can also be wrapped partially: the roof, mirrors, bonnet or decorative details. This approach adds a new accent without losing the car's original colour.

It all depends on how the car is looked after. On average, a quality coloured wrap lasts up to five years. It is worth stressing that the driver's own care matters too: washing at a self-service bay from at least fifty centimetres away, avoiding strong cleaning chemicals, and drying the body with microfibre. You should also avoid washing the car during the first week after wrapping, until the adhesive has fully cured.

And if in time you want to refresh the style or return to the original colour, the film is removed carefully without damaging the paintwork.

In Chisinau and across Moldova the demand for personalising cars keeps growing. Where this was once available only to owners of premium vehicles, today the technology is within everyone's reach.
