Will you wrap your new 2020 Roadster?

    I am planning to wrap my new 2020 Roadster. This will be my first car wrap. I want the best clear wrapping.

    Since I am new to wrapping, I have some question?

    1. Will wrapping make it so the car will stay fairly shiny without doing a detail/wash job?

    2. Will it decrease the damage from being "keyed"?

    3. I am in San Diego. What is the best place to have the car wrapped either in San Diego or Orange County?

    Thanks

    4. How much does it usually cost?

    Assuming you're referring to PPF and not vinyl wrap, I'll give #1, #2 and #4 a shot.

    1) No, some have luck various levels of luck with ceramic coatings

    2) Potentially, in many cases, yes, but it depends on how much force is used.

    You're welcome

    4) I had two MX's wrapped in late 2018 for just under $5k each in Los Angeles. A roadster would probably be cheaper since it's less surface area, unless someone will be charging you a "roadster tax". When I get mine, I'll share how much it costs.

    It depends on the actual offered colors. If they don't offer the right blue, then a wrap is in my future.

    My Model S has a clear wrap of Xpel Ultimate, with a coating of CQuartz finest on top. The car comes out very shiny each time I wash it! You should have no concerns with a wrap.

    Wrapped my S twice and wrapped my X so will "have to" wrap my Roadster 2020! Always wrap as part of a bigger package I get from @Tsportline so hard to parse out the price. Past wraps linked in my signature.
