Full Copper Wrap with Black Stripes and Grill

[Chuck]

Out of curiosity does insurance cover the wrap should it get damaged in an accident? Also, should it get damaged what are the odds of getting exactly the same color for repair? Or does it all have to be replaced?

It totally depends on your insurance. And depending on age - if you need to replace there is bound to be some fading. Tough to avoid if you actually drive and enjoy your car.

So damn excited to share this. Always wanted to have a copper car, and here it is. Helps that I can make CopperTop jokes now too!

The vinyl is very responsive to the sun, brings out the orange (too much) in direct sun, and is a much more pleasant true copper in the shade.

That really looks nice. Great choice with the color and the stripes. I think this is the best looking mod I've seen. You sir, have great taste.

How wide are those stripes? 8-inch? 10-inch?

@Polar now that you’ve had the wrap for a while, how is the care of it going? Any special products or strategies you recommend?

The wrap is holding up very well!
I’m still very pleased with it. The vinyl has pulled back in a couple corners, but you only see it from one foot and if you look. Almost all edges and corners are still in good shape - they did a good job installing. Just a couple tight spots where it’s bubbled ever so slightly.

I wash with my foam cannon a bit more that twice a month and dry with a bath towel sized microfiber. And the wrap was ceramic coated to help it last just that much longer; but it has also helped so much in keeping the car clean and the satin finish looking good.

The rear of these cars is just an aero hole so all dust and pollen just collects around the rear window and in the back hatch - this summer I’ll be using my California Car Duster a lot again!

@Polar Any special products or strategies you recommend?

I totally forgot to address this question - here is my curated Amazon List. This is what I use on the regular (in addition to the CaliCar Duster) to wash and dry stEVe. Also a few Homer/Lowes buckets for clean and dirty water.
