These ones are made by oracal. I also used Oracal 970RA in matte black.

Few questions though:

1) Does rain damage it?

2) How do you wash it?

3) Was it difficult to apply it?

1) no
2) Just car soap, I use plexus when a want more of a satin finish, it dries very quickly, small scratches can be buffed out with a finger. Nothing abrasive.
3)On the C63 the front bumper was tough, rear bumper wasn't easy, doors, roof, hood, other panels were easy BUT time consuming.
Biggest tip is to use 50/50 isopropyl alcohol water to prep surface and 3m tape primer in deep concave areas.

Haha, for me vinyl wrapping is kind of like cleaning a babies poop diaper, I do it for my baby but not someone else's.

In other words it's kind of a pain in the butt to wrap because it takes so long but when the end result is your car it's worth it.

There are a lot of places that do it. If you live in a big city there is likely a signage/advertising place that does car wraps. If not there are also some places that fly people out to you and do it.

I think I prefer to do it myself & spend the extra money on the car.
