Complete Wrapping for Audi Q7 Protective Film

The top-of-the-line premium SUV—this is how the new Audi Q7 positions itself. In terms of appearance and features, the car fully lives up to its status, but this lasts only until the first scratch appears on the body.

No matter how carefully you drive, wear and tear is inevitable. Scratches, scuffs, and uneven color are the unavoidable consequences of regular vehicle use.

To keep the body looking new and enjoy its shine for years to come, it’s important to take care of reliable protection in advance. Wrapping the car in film is not just a popular service but also a way to protect the Audi Q7 (2021, 2022 models) from various chemical and mechanical damages. With this goal in mind, the specialists at CarEngineering performed a full wrap service, which we’ll discuss in more detail today.

Thanks to the protective film, the Audi Q7 received comprehensive protection for a long 8 years, maintaining its attractive appearance.

To achieve this result, it’s important to choose the right type of film, the method of application, and, of course, entrust the work to professionals.

Types of Films for Wrapping Audi Q7: Choosing the Right One

At the CarEngineering studio, you can choose from polyurethane, vinyl, or hybrid film. The main differences between them lie in the level of protection, durability, and appearance. Each film has its unique properties, so it’s essential to apply the right one for the specific purpose.

Vinyl film is the best choice for car tuning. The color palette of vinyl allows you to dramatically change the appearance of the car.

For protection, however, vinyl is less effective due to its characteristics. A thickness of 100-150 microns provides minimal protection against sand, tree branches, and careless washing.

Vinyl performs well in both low and high temperatures, making it effective year-round.

The service life of vinyl is 2-3 years, which is ideal for those who like to experiment with textures and amaze everyone with new designs.

Hybrid film offers good protection but not for long periods. It’s often chosen by car owners who are wrapping their vehicles for the first time.

The film’s thickness ranges from 140 to 190 microns. The protective properties are enough to shield the body from sand, tree branches, small stones, cleaning and road chemicals, bird droppings, insect marks, and accidental parking damage.

A special feature of the hybrid film is its self-healing property. Under heat or high temperatures, the film returns to its original state, smoothing out small scratches and scuffs, maintaining an attractive look.

Its temperature resistance ranges from −50 °C to +70 °C, even with sudden temperature fluctuations, preventing cracks or deformation.

The lifespan of the hybrid film is 2-4 years. For short-term protection, it’s a good option, but for longer-term protection, polyurethane film is a better choice.

Choosing the Best Film in CarEngineering Studio

At CarEngineering, a qualified specialist selects the most suitable film based on your preferences. For long-term, high-quality protection, we chose polyurethane film for the Audi Q7 along with the owner.

Polyurethane is the most durable and reliable film, designed to protect the car from most chemical and mechanical damage. With a thickness of 150-210 microns and special properties, the film effectively meets its purpose.

Polyurethane operates at temperatures between −70 °C and +100 °C and withstands sudden changes, ensuring the Audi Q7 is protected under all conditions.

Its level of protection extends to:

Sand,
Tree and bush branches,
Gravel and pebbles,
Aggressive cleaning and road chemicals,
Careless washing,
Accidental parking damage,
Mold, oils, and resins,
Bird droppings and insect marks,
Minor collisions.

Polyurethane, like hybrid film, has a self-healing feature. During use, the film always looks perfect without requiring special care.

Another reason to choose polyurethane is its long service life, protecting the body for 5-8 years. In simple terms, the film works for the long term while you enjoy reliable protection.

Additionally, polyurethane film allows for aesthetic customization. You can choose between matte or glossy finishes. Matte highlights the body shape and shifts attention from shine to detail, giving the car a softer, unique look.

Glossy film, on the other hand, is completely transparent. After application, it’s invisible, but the protection remains top-notch. Those who prefer the “invisible” look opt for glossy film, which was also chosen for this Audi Q7.

Thanks to the high quality of the film and the professionalism of our specialists, the film accentuated the natural shine of the body while remaining invisible.

Full vs. Partial Protection for Audi Q7: The Key Difference

In addition to choosing the film, you need to decide on the method of wrapping. CarEngineering offers partial or full wrapping services for the Audi Q7.

Partial wrapping focuses on the most vulnerable parts of the car, primarily the front. This includes the bumper, hood, headlights, windshield pillars, mirror covers, and front fenders. As a bonus, we wrap the door handle cups for free.

Partial wrapping is suitable if the car is used infrequently. However, unprotected areas remain at risk, and wear may become apparent when the film is removed.

Full wrapping provides all-around protection for the car, covering every detail to shield the entire body.

We also offer black vinyl anti-chrome wrapping for small elements such as the grille, door moldings, handles, window frames, and bumper accents. This option adds extra protection against high-alkaline chemicals, road reagents, and scratches.
