Jetour T2: Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

Matte cars with factory finishes are quite rare on domestic roads. Chinese manufacturers have managed to outpace Europeans in this regard. But the popularity of the new Jetour T2 SUV is not just due to this. It looks very similar to a Defender but costs almost four times less. The car is powerful, visually appealing, and comfortable inside. Getting behind the wheel of this novelty is pure pleasure.

Like any other car, the Jetour requires timely protection, and the presence of a matte factory finish makes it necessary to consider wrapping it with a protective film as soon as possible. The thing is, scratches and scuffs on matte paintwork (LKP) cannot be removed by polishing, as car owners with glossy bodies often do. This is why we recommend Jetour owners to apply protective film as soon as possible after purchase to keep the new look of the car and its attractiveness for as long as possible. Today, we are reviewing one of these new SUVs in our studio.

Considering the features of the car, our specialists selected a matte polyurethane film for it. The entire body, covering all matte elements, was wrapped in film. In this article, we want to provide more details about the properties of polyurethane film and discuss the process of wrapping the Jetour in the CarEngineering studio. This service not only enhances the protection of the body from various damages but also gives owners confidence that their car will retain its new look for years to come.

Matte Polyurethane: Protective Properties and Features

After application, the matte film will only enhance the uniqueness of the car, emphasizing its edges and color depth. It’s worth noting that matte polyurethane film has the same properties as transparent (i.e., glossy) film. It is the same high-quality material with excellent protection from chemical and mechanical damage. In polyurethane film, the Jetour will be protected from:

Scratches from branches, sandblasting, and tar.
Gravel and stones hitting the body.
Scratches from nails under the door handles.
Scratches from keys.
Inaccurate washing at substandard services.

Importantly, even deep scuffs will only remain on the film and won’t affect the body. Once the film is removed, the paintwork underneath will be completely unharmed.

On the level of chemical protection, polyurethane shields against bird droppings, insect marks, washing agents, road chemicals, resins, oils, and prevents the onset and spread of corrosion.

As for additional properties, one worth highlighting is polyurethane’s self-healing ability. Given the wear from usage, scratches will inevitably appear on the film over time. However, under heat, all unevenness in the polyurethane will heal by itself. As a result, the film becomes perfectly smooth again and looks as good as new.

Another undeniable advantage is polyurethane’s temperature resistance. In the film, the Jetour T2 will be protected from cold, heat, and sudden temperature changes. The material stays firmly attached to the body until removal and leaves no trace on the original paintwork.

The lifespan of polyurethane allows you to protect the body of the Jetour T2 in the long term. Depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the film’s properties will last for 5 to 10 years. During this time, the material requires no special care and can withstand washes of any quality.

At our studio, we also offer full wrapping with transparent polyurethane. This option is suitable for cars with glossy paintwork. After wrapping, the original color and gloss of the body are preserved.

If the main goal of wrapping the Jetour is styling, we also offer vinyl-based films. Their protective properties are lower than polyurethane, but the main advantage is the wide selection of colors and textures. Our specialist will help you choose a film based on your individual preferences and wishes.

Comprehensive Wrapping of the Jetour T2: Why Full Coverage is Always the Best Choice for Your Car

For daily use, we always recommend fully wrapping the Jetour. This provides maximum protection for the car and keeps all its elements in the best possible condition. Full wrapping covers all elements, except for the rear lights and piano black parts. These elements can also be wrapped upon the client’s request for an additional fee.

Full wrapping offers undeniable advantages to car owners:

The entire car is evenly protected.

Risks of damage and costly repairs are minimized.

The factory matte finish looks unique, but it also poses additional challenges for owners. For example, if a scratch appears, you’ll need to repaint the part, as matte paintwork cannot be polished. It’s hard to match the original color during repainting, and even dealers can’t guarantee 100% accuracy. Additionally, repainting a matte car costs 2.5 times more, requires a qualified specialist, and not all technicians deliver quality results.

These are the main reasons why it’s worth wrapping the entire Jetour in film once. The car will be protected from all sides, and the risks of unplanned repairs will be minimized. Our specialist will explain the advantages of each wrapping method during the service booking or your visit to the studio.

The Wrapping Process at CarEngineering: From Studio Preparation to Post-Wrap Inspection

Our specialists begin their work even before the car arrives. The first step is preparing the workspace. The studio must be clean; otherwise, even a single speck of dust can ruin the wrapping and reduce the quality of the result. This is why we always do a wet cleaning and create optimal conditions for the best service, including maintaining the correct temperature using steam generators. Work on the car starts with a preliminary inspection of the body. If the car has been in use for a long time and has numerous scratches and scuffs, we recommend additional polishing. This step is relevant only for glossy paintwork.

Partial disassembly is the next step, allowing thorough cleaning and wrapping of hard-to-reach elements of the Jetour. For full wrapping, the front and rear bumpers, moldings, door handles, and other elements are removed if necessary.

The car and its detached parts are then washed step by step using premium cleaning products and special clay. This approach removes even invisible contaminants and ensures high-quality wrapping.

Wrapping the Jetour in film is also done in stages: the material is applied gradually and then smoothed to a flawless finish on each part. The final steps are trimming excess film with a special blade and tucking it in. The tuck is particularly important, as it provides better protection against flying stones and high-pressure water during washes. The tuck is done only by a few millimeters, but this greatly enhances the effectiveness of the service.

It’s worth noting that many services skip tucking during wrapping, but this is usually done to save time or due to a lack of proper expertise. Tucking is essential, and at CarEngineering, our specialists know this, which is why we perform it during every wrap to guarantee maximum protection for the car.

Once the Jetour T2’s body protection is complete, we leave the car for another day to ensure proper drying. When the client returns, we provide a detailed report on the work done and offer recommendations for material care in the early days after wrapping.

A mandatory stage of the wrapping service is a post-service inspection after a couple of weeks. We invite all clients to visit our studio again for a free car wash and to evaluate the quality of the work, ensuring the protection’s reliability.

It’s important to note that our service employs only qualified detailing specialists with over 20 years of experience who strictly adhere to the wrapping technology and professionally execute each step of the service. Hundreds of clients have been satisfied with the wrapping done at our service, and they are now enjoying the perfect look of their cars.
