At AV Custom Wraps, we want your matte paint protection wrap to look flawless for years. Matte finishes require a little extra care, and following the right washing techniques makes all the difference.

Hand Wash Only
Always hand wash your wrapped vehicle. Automatic car washes can scratch, scuff, or damage the matte texture, so we strongly recommend avoiding them altogether.

If You Use a Pressure Washer
A pressure washer can be safe only when used correctly. Keep the pressure below 200 PSI, maintain a safe distance, and avoid spraying directly at edges or seams. Never use high-pressure or harsh chemicals.

Use pH-Neutral Soap
Matte wraps should never come into contact with strong or acidic cleaners. Stick to a high-quality pH-neutral soap to preserve the finish and avoid unwanted shine.

Fresh Microfiber Towels Only
When washing or drying, always use clean, soft microfiber towels. Reused or dirty towels can trap debris and scratch the film.

Dry in Straight Lines
Avoid circular motions when drying—these can leave swirl marks. Instead, gently dry your vehicle using straight, smooth passes for the cleanest result.

Keeping your matte paint protection wrap looking perfect is easy with the right routine. Follow these tips and trust AV Custom Wraps to keep your vehicle protected and looking its best.
