Why Cleaning Car Wraps Matter for Your Business

Your vehicles do more than just get you to jobs, they can also get the attention of potential clients.

Cleaning car wraps are the easy way to get people to notice your business as you’re driving around town, or parked at a client location.

Whether you've been cleaning for years or are just growing your business, cleaning car wraps can help more local people see and remember your company—it’s something you should do ASAP.

Choosing the Right Design Elements

The best cleaning car wraps need to look nice and get your brand message across clearly. Some cleaning companies can overthink this, but the reality is, it is a pretty simple process.

Here's what works best:

Colors That Make You Stand Out

In busy streets and neighborhoods, you want your vehicles to be easy to spot.

Blues and greens look clean and fresh, while bright colors can help people see you in traffic. Additionally, a little white/empty space goes a long way to making your words easier to read.

Designs

Remember, simpler designs are usually better for marketing. You want people to remember you, not feel confused by crazy, busy designs.

AI tools (like ChatGPT and Midjourney) are making design very easy. This can be a great starting place to get a few of your initial ideas mocked up. 

From there, it is easy enough to take them to a graphic designer to make any subtle tweaks and adjustments so the design looks great on your vehicles (freelancers are great for this).

Also, check out what other cleaning companies are doing. Your cleaning car wraps should look different from theirs.

Full Wrap vs. Partial Wrap

While wrapping your entire vehicle looks amazing, partial wraps can work just as well if done right. You’ll need to do a little research to find out what is right for your cleaning business and your budget.

That said, the most important parts to cover are the doors, sides, hood, and back of your vehicle. This is a great place to start (even with one or two vehicles), and you can always do full wraps later on down the road as your cleaning business and fleet grow.

Essential Information to Include

Your wrap needs to tell people the most important things about your business at a quick glance:

• Make your company name and logo the biggest things on the vehicle
• Put your phone number in large, easy-to-read numbers
• Include your website and maybe add a QR code
• List the main cleaning services you offer

Pro tip! Some cleaning businesses will use a different phone number (or QR code) on their apps. This helps track where your leads are coming from. So if someone calls that number on the side of your cleaning car wrap, you’ll be able to know how effective your advertising is.

Maintaining Your Cleaning Car Wraps

Cleaning vehicles face special challenges on the road.

Protect your wraps by:

• Routinely washing your wrapped vehicles often (don't use high-pressure sprayers right on the edges)
• Using gentle soap and cleaners that won't hurt the vinyl
• Parking in the shade or a garage when you can

Have a pro look at your wraps once a year to catch any small problems before they get bigger.

Choosing the Right Wrap Provider

Not all wrap companies do the same quality work. Look for one that has wrapped vehicles for service businesses before. Ask to see pictures of their work, especially wraps that have been on vehicles for a few years. This helps you see how well their work holds up over time.

Be sure to ask about how they install wraps and what kind of warranty they offer. Good companies will be happy to explain and stand behind their work.

Like any other big purchase, shop around and get price quotes from several different companies before you make your final decision.

Professional Installation vs. DIY

While there is always the option to go the DIY route, you may want to reconsider in this case. Yes, it will likely be cheaper, but a bad wrap job isn’t going to win you any new business.

Ultimately, professional installers have the right tools and know exactly how to put wraps on properly. Plus, they can also help you make sure your design works well for your specific vehicles.

Time savings, the quality wrap, and the peace of mind are all reasons why you should let the pros handle your wrap.
