Will Car Wraps Get Scratched by Knives?
1 Answers
Car wraps will not get scratched. More information about car wraps is as follows: 1. Rain Protection: Many car wraps claim to use nanotechnology or lotus leaf technology, where water droplets do not stick and simply slide off. In reality, most cannot achieve the advertised effect. It might work well for the first week after application, but the effect gradually diminishes over time. 2. Stain Resistance: This is similar to water resistance. Many promotional videos show dirty water being splashed onto the car, with the water flowing away without leaving stains. Like the first point, this effect is temporary and usually due to a hydrophobic coating on the outer layer of the wrap. This coating loses its effectiveness quickly after exposure to sun and rain, so expecting to never wash your car again is unrealistic. Moreover, this only applies to dirty water—dust, mud, and other contaminants generally have no protective effect. 3. Scratch Resistance: This might be the most appealing selling point. Many car wraps claim to resist scratches or even self-repair, which is also unrealistic. Consider the car body itself—from production to delivery, it undergoes numerous metalworking, stamping, and painting processes, with technical costs that small manufacturers often cannot afford. At best, these wraps can only prevent scratches from reaching the car's surface, acting like a phone case where removing the wrap reveals a pristine surface underneath. However, deep scratches or collision damage will still require repairs.
