Volkswagen Teramont: Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

Car Wrapping with Film – not Just a Popular Procedure but a Way to Keep the Body in Perfect Condition for Many Years. By wrapping your car once, you can stop worrying about scratches and scuffs, and wash your car wherever and whenever you like.

Besides protection, the film can highlight the individuality of your car. We want to demonstrate this with an example of wrapping a Volkswagen Teramont with anti-gravel film.

The owner chose a matte polyurethane film for their car. The specialists completed a full wrap, thus providing maximum protection for the body from chemical and mechanical damage while enhancing it with a matte accent.

Is Wrapping Your Car with Film Worth It? 3 Reasons to Protect the Body in Advance

The first signs of wear on the car body appear within a few months of use. You can notice a “spider web” of scratches, which can only be removed by additional polishing. Yes, after polishing, the body will look perfect again, but not for long. It’s impossible to avoid the appearance of new defects unless you keep the car in the garage.

Frequent polishing also harms the paintwork, so this method won’t protect the body for long. A great alternative is to take care of the car’s protection in advance.

Here are some reasons to wrap your car with film:

Comprehensive protection from chemical and mechanical damage. Polyurethane film with a thickness of 150-210 microns will protect the body from tree branches, shrubs, sand, small stones, chemicals, sap, mold, bird droppings, and insects. In practice, the coating protects against minor accidents, careless washing, unsuccessful parking, and other unpleasant situations.
Maintaining the body in like-new condition until the film is removed. If you apply the film immediately after purchasing the car, the body will remain perfect throughout the film’s lifespan. Given polyurethane’s durability, this means 5-8 years of continuous driving. The film can be removed without leaving any residue on the body.
The ability to change the appearance of the body without additional painting. The owner chose a matte film for their vehicle. It softened the main color of the body, transforming it from gray to deep graphite. After wrapping, the focus shifted to the forms and lines, emphasizing the design of the family SUV.

Film is always a good solution, offering long-term benefits. You just need to choose the right coverage for your goals and trust professionals with your car.

A Little More About Polyurethane Characteristics

Polyurethane film is the most effective coating for car protection. Due to its high strength, durability, and additional properties, the film reliably protects the body for its entire lifespan.

The level of protection is the same in summer and winter, as polyurethane resists temperatures ranging from −70 °C to +100 °C and withstands temperature fluctuations.

A useful feature of the film is its ability to self-heal. Under the influence of heat, small scratches and scuffs disappear on their own, and the film returns to its original appearance. Just leave the wrapped Volkswagen Teramont in the sun for a few hours, and you’ll be amazed at the result.

A CarEngineering specialist will tell you more about the film’s characteristics and help you choose a coating based on your preferences.

Wrapping the Volkswagen: Detailed Process and Nuances

Once the film and wrap type are chosen, it’s time to get started. The wrapping process goes through several stages:

Preparation: washing and disassembly.
Wrapping: cutting the film, applying, smoothing, and folding the edges.
Drying.

The quality of the result is determined from the very first minutes of preparation. The specialist thoroughly cleans the body of dirt, both on the exterior and interior parts of the components. The removed parts are cleaned and wrapped separately.

Disassembly is a mandatory stage in every wrap and shouldn’t be feared. Your car is handled by a qualified specialist with years of experience. They know premium cars well and carry out the disassembly and reinstallation of all components according to factory standards.

Wrapping is done in a clean room with controlled temperature conditions. This ensures proper adhesive activation and high-quality work. Additionally, steam generators are used to heat the film.

Smoothing the anti-gravel film on the Teramont is done with soft rubber squeegees, which prevent stretching of the coating. The specialist goes over each part several times to secure the result.

A special tool is used to trim the excess film. Particular attention is paid to seams and corners.

Folding the edges is the final step in wrapping the car. A few millimeters of film are folded under the part, which improves protection and prevents accidental tearing during use, especially during washing. This method ensures that high-pressure water jets won’t lift the film, and the wrap won’t be damaged. Folding also protects the body from flying debris.

In the CarEngineering studio, folding the edges is mandatory for every wrap, whether full or partial. We aim for the best results and quality, without rushing the job. Yes, folding the film around the entire body is a meticulous and time-consuming process, but it’s worth it when the car is better protected afterward.

If you’re told folding isn’t necessary, you should question the competence of that service. Most likely, the specialists are saving time or don’t know how to wrap using this technique.

At CarEngineering, you can be sure that the VW Teramont wrap will be done at the highest level.

After wrapping, the specialist checks every inch of the body and leaves the car to dry until the next day. Upon delivery, the specialist will explain how to care for the film in the initial period after wrapping. The main rules include:

Wash the car only one week after wrapping in the summer, and two weeks later in the winter;
Quickly remove bird droppings and insects to avoid stains on the body;
Always inform car washers about the protective coating, so they can choose the right water pressure.

We’re happy to let you know that your relationship with CarEngineering doesn’t end here. One week after wrapping, we invite you for a follow-up inspection of your car and offer a free wash. It’s important for us to ensure the job was done well and that you are satisfied.
