Maybach: Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

Maybach 62 is a luxury car that radiates prestige and emphasizes the status of its owner. Externally, it looks expensive and attractive; one can endlessly admire the smooth lines of its body. The only thing that might upset the owner of this dream car is the scratches on the body that inevitably appear after the first long trips.

Some drivers prefer polishing and regularly use this service to eliminate defects. However, this solution cannot be considered effective if you want to reliably protect the car’s paintwork from wear.

A working method to prevent unwanted damage is to apply a protective film to the Maybach. Why film, you might ask? It acts as an additional barrier against branches, sand, and protects the body from being scratched by other cars. Yes, the coating can be damaged, but the original paintwork of the car is much more likely to remain untouched.

In this review, we want to familiarize you with the process of applying film to the Maybach and discuss the specifics of this service.

Maybach protection step by step: from choosing the coating to achieving perfect results

A responsible approach to each client is the main principle of the specialists at CarEngineering. Therefore, during the wrapping service, the masters individually select the material and method of protection, applying the coating with consideration for the car’s unique characteristics. Let’s consider the main stages of the wrapping process.

1. Choosing the Film for the Maybach: Polyurethane or Vinyl

The purpose of the wrapping can vary. Some drivers come to us for a new design, while others seek comprehensive protection for the body. It’s essential for Maybach owners that their car remains attractive for a long time and that the body retains its new shine; hence, our specialists perform protective wrapping for the crossover.

For this purpose, a polyurethane film is ideal. The coating has sufficient thickness, stretch ratio, protective properties, and a lifespan that makes it the best among protective coatings. The advantages of applying polyurethane film to the Maybach include:

Excellent protection against scratches, abrasions, minor accidents, and careless washing, as well as road and cleaning chemicals.
Uniform protection year-round due to its high adaptability to temperatures.
Self-healing of scratches when heated, due to similarities with elastic rubber properties.
Possibility of active use for 5 to 8 years without careful maintenance and replacement of the coating.

With polyurethane, the Maybach will maintain a smooth body without scratches and will shine with a new gloss until the coating is removed. After 8 years, you will be surprised that the paintwork still looks as good as it did before wrapping.

Vinyl is intended for tuning. The wide palette allows for trying unconventional solutions on the body. Colored film, with designs, metallic effects, chameleon effects, and gradients – all of this refers to vinyl coatings. Choose any option, and the specialists in our studio will transform your car in just a few days.

Protection for the paintwork is not the main function of vinyl. A slight protection against scratches, harsh washing, and chemicals can be considered a supplement to the updated design, but it is still far from comprehensive protection. Moreover, a lifespan of up to 5 years encourages frequent changes to the car’s appearance, which isn’t much for protection.

Recently, colored polyurethane films have started appearing on the market. This is the perfect combo of protective properties and design solutions, but wrapping a Maybach in such a film will be significantly more expensive. The palette of polyurethane still cannot compete with vinyl, so finding the desired shade may prove challenging.

In any case, client wishes come first. Tell the master about the desired outcome, and they will choose the best coating for your car.

2. Choosing the Wrapping Method for the Maybach

For daily use of the car, we recommend considering full wrapping. The Maybach owner has chosen this package to maximally protect their vehicle from damage. With full wrapping, all parts are equally protected, not subject to wear, and retain their attractive appearance.

Additionally, the reliability of the Maybach wrapping can be enhanced by the Anti-Chrome service. Specialists will cover chrome elements with black vinyl, preventing corrosion, scratches, and paint peeling.

For advice on choosing a package, please consult our master. They will suggest which wrapping will be more effective for your car and advise on how to improve the reliability of the body protection.

3. Preparing the Maybach for Applying the Protective Film

After selecting the coating and package, it’s too early to move on to the wrapping itself. First, the car is cleaned of all dirt, inspected for chips and corrosion, and necessary parts are disassembled.

The term “disassembly” should not scare you. This is a mandatory step in the protection process that all cars in our studio undergo. Qualified masters with experience in disassembling luxury cars carefully remove door handles and bumpers, allowing for thorough work on hard-to-reach areas of the body. The anti-gravel film is applied separately to the removed parts, which are then reinstalled.

The studio is responsible for the quality of the work performed and guarantees that the disassembly is entirely safe. The dealer’s warranty remains intact after such actions, and the vehicle’s performance remains the same.

4. Wrapping the Maybach in Film

Let’s focus on important nuances of the car protection process. The first is the step-by-step application of film to the body. The coating is cut separately for each part, allowing the master to work more thoroughly on all areas and apply the material effectively.

The Maybach is covered in transparent film, which is characterized by complete invisibility on the body. This effect is achieved through high-quality leveling with soft rubber squeegees.

The final stage of wrapping the Maybach is the “underfold.” This is one of the techniques that improves the effectiveness of the protection. The coating is folded over a few millimeters onto a previously cleaned inner part. As a result, it becomes more resistant to damage when exposed to strong water jets during washing and impacts from stones hitting the edge of the body.

The underfolding takes time and requires experience, but our masters are professionals in their field, investing all their knowledge and skills into every wrapping. The result is more important than the time taken to complete the work, as the quality of the anti-gravel protection directly affects the integrity of the body.

Our studio also offers a post-service program. We invite you for a check-up of the car wrapped in film and offer a free wash. During the inspection, the master will check the entire body, paying special attention to complex areas. The post-service allows us to ensure that the result meets the client’s expectations, which is the main goal of our work.

Come to us for the wrapping of your Maybach in film and keep your vehicle’s body in perfect condition. The service takes between 2 to 8 days, depending on the chosen package.
