A vinyl wrap consists of several thin layers that makes it really elastic. The strength of vinyl wrap depends on the type and layer number. So the more layers it has, the stronger it is.
In the case of proper application, vinyl wrap can better withstand strikes of rocks, sand and scratches. Besides, vinyl wrap is less sensitive to heat than normal car’s paints that also protect the car against severe weather conditions, including precipitation. Besides, as we speak about color vinyl wrap, it can protect the vehicle against ultraviolet light, which affects the car.
