Clean surface
before the new brand goes on.
Applying a new wrap over adhesive residue from the last one produces a result that looks cheap and fails faster. We coordinate professional decal removal as part of any rebrand or fleet update project.
Everything you need, none of the upsell.
Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.
Old vinyl off cleanly.
Full wrap and partial decal removal coordinated with a certified installer. Heat and proper technique, not brute force that damages paint.
Surface prep for new application.
Residue adhesive cleaned from the surface before new vinyl is applied. Required for a quality install that lasts.
Condition noted before new wrap.

Common questions.
How hard is old vinyl to remove?
It depends almost entirely on age. Within its rated life it comes off in sheets with heat. Past it, the vinyl becomes brittle and comes off in fragments, and the adhesive stays behind. A ten-year-old decal can take longer to remove than a full wrap takes to install.
Will removal leave ghosting?
Often, and it is not damage. The covered paint has been protected from UV while the surrounding paint has faded, so the outline shows. On a vehicle heading to resale this usually polishes out; on badly oxidised paint it may not.
Do we have to remove branding before selling a vehicle?
You should. Branding on a vehicle you no longer control is a liability: it is your name on the road attached to someone else's driving. It also matters for lease returns, where remaining adhesive is frequently charged back.
Can you remove and rebrand in one visit?
Yes, and that is the efficient sequence when a fleet is being rebranded. Removal, surface preparation and reinstallation happen together so the vehicle is off the road once rather than twice.
