Full and Partial Car Wraps
Full wraps completely transform your vehicle with edge-to-edge coverage. Perfect for businesses wanting maximum impact or car enthusiasts seeking a total color change. Your original paint stays protected underneath, preserving resale value.
Partial wraps target specific areas like hoods, doors, or roofs. Great for adding graphics, changing accent colors, or working within tighter budgets. You still get professional results with the flexibility to customize exactly what you need.
Long Grove’s affluent market appreciates quality, and that’s what we deliver. Whether you’re a local contractor building trust with homeowners or a professional wanting to stand out during your commute to Chicago, we have options that fit your needs and budget. Our wraps last 5-8 years with proper care, giving you years of mobile advertising for less than most businesses spend on monthly marketing.
Will a car wrap damage my vehicle's original paint?
No, properly installed wraps actually protect your paint. Our 3M-certified vinyl creates a protective barrier against UV rays, minor scratches, and road debris.
When it’s time to remove the wrap, your original paint underneath looks just like new. This is especially valuable for Long Grove residents with expensive vehicles or lease returns. The removal process is clean and safe when done by certified professionals like our team.
We’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and we’ve never had a wrap damage factory paint when properly installed and removed. Your investment stays protected.
How long do car wraps last in Illinois weather?
Quality wraps last 5-8 years in Illinois conditions, sometimes longer with proper care. The key is using premium materials from trusted brands like 3M and Avery Dennison – which is all we use.
Illinois weather can be tough with hot summers, cold winters, and road salt. That’s why we only install cast vinyl designed for outdoor durability. Cheaper calendered vinyl might save money upfront but fails quickly in harsh conditions.
Your wrap’s lifespan depends on care and exposure. Vehicles garaged at night last longer than those parked outside 24/7. Regular washing helps too. We’ll show you exactly how to maintain your wrap for maximum longevity.
Can I wash my wrapped vehicle normally?
Yes, but hand washing works best. Use mild soap, soft cloths, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the vinyl edges.
If you prefer automatic car washes, choose touchless systems over brush washes. High-pressure washers are fine if you keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away and avoid direct hits on wrap edges.
Most Long Grove residents hand wash their vehicles anyway since they care about maintaining their cars’ appearance. Your wrap will look great for years with basic care. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every installation.
How much does a car wrap cost in Long Grove?
Full wraps typically range from $2,500 to $5,000 depending on vehicle size and design complexity. Partial wraps start around $800. Compare that to a quality paint job at $5,000-$10,000, and wraps offer better value.
Your exact cost depends on several factors: vehicle size (a Smart car costs less than a Suburban), design complexity, and wrap coverage. Simple color changes cost less than intricate graphics with multiple colors.
We provide detailed estimates after seeing your vehicle and understanding your goals. Most Long Grove businesses find the ROI impressive – your wrap pays for itself through increased visibility and customer acquisition. Unlike monthly advertising costs, this is a one-time investment that works for years.
Do you work on luxury and exotic cars?
Absolutely. Long Grove has many high-end vehicles, and we’ve wrapped everything from Porsches to Lamborghinis. Luxury cars actually benefit most from wraps because they protect expensive factory paint.
Our certified installers have the skills and experience to handle complex curves, delicate surfaces, and tight tolerances. We understand that your exotic car represents a significant investment, and we treat it accordingly.
Many luxury car owners use wraps for paint protection or subtle customization. You can change colors, add graphics, or protect high-wear areas without permanent modifications. When you want to return to original, the wrap removes cleanly, leaving perfect paint underneath.
Can you match my company colors exactly?
Yes, our color matching capabilities are excellent. We work with Pantone colors, RGB values, or physical samples to ensure perfect brand consistency across your fleet.
Our award-winning design team understands that brand recognition depends on consistent colors. Whether you’re matching existing signage, business cards, or corporate guidelines, we’ll get it right the first time.
Long Grove businesses often have established brand identities that need precise representation. We use professional color management systems and high-quality inks to ensure your wrapped vehicles match your other marketing materials perfectly. Your brand stays consistent whether customers see your storefront, website, or vehicle.
