Old graphics come off cleanly when the right installer does it with heat, patience and the right chemistry. We remove vehicle wraps, fleet decals, window film and wall graphics nationwide, and prep the surface for whatever comes next.
Removal is the part of a graphics project nobody budgets for and everybody regrets rushing. Film that has baked on a truck for five years, perforated window vinyl that has been through a hundred car washes, or a wall graphic over painted drywall all come off — but how cleanly depends on who does it. Wrap It! deploys certified installers for removal work in every U.S. market, as a standalone service or as the first phase of a rebrand.
Vinyl is removed with controlled heat that softens the adhesive so the film releases in large pieces instead of flakes. The installer works at a low angle to keep the adhesive on the film rather than the surface, then cleans whatever residue remains with an adhesive remover suited to the substrate, followed by a final decontamination so the surface is ready for new graphics or a lease inspection. Older, sun-baked or low-quality films take longer because the face film and the adhesive separate; that is a time factor we quote honestly up front rather than discover on site.
Three things decide how clean a removal is: the age and quality of the film, the surface it is on, and the condition of that surface before the graphic went on. Professionally applied cast films on factory paint typically release cleanly. Films applied over repainted panels, body filler or already-damaged paint can lift the finish with them, which is why our installers inspect and photograph every vehicle before starting and flag any area of risk. On walls, removal from painted drywall can pull paint if the wall was not prepared properly when the graphic was installed; we tell you what to expect and can coordinate repair and repaint where needed.
Most removal jobs are tied to a deadline: a lease return, a sale, a merger or a new brand. For fleets we phase the work at your yard so vehicles stay in service, and we pair removal with the new install so each unit is finished in one cycle. For leased vehicles we document the post-removal condition so you have a record for the return inspection. For used trucks still carrying a previous owner's markings, we remove the old compliance decals and apply the new set in the same visit — see our USDOT decal installation service.
Our process is the same in every market, which is exactly why the results are consistent. From the first brief to final sign-off, one point of contact owns your project and the same quality steps run on every job.
You send us the scope — graphic types, locations, square footage and timeline. We return a clear, itemized estimate with no surprises. If the project spans multiple markets, we build a single master plan that covers all of them.
We match your job to certified installers in each market based on location, graphic type and scope. Every installer is vetted, insured and certified before they are eligible for your work.
We confirm site access, handle certificates of insurance where required, sequence the schedule, and coordinate logistics so your install lands in the right window. You do not chase vendors — we run it.
Installers prep the surface to spec and apply your graphics to a professional standard. Every job is documented with before-and-after photography and closed with a punch-list sign-off.
For multi-location work, you get progress reporting against the master schedule — which sites are done, in progress and pending — so you always know exactly where the rollout stands.
Every job is photo-documented before and after. A few from the portfolio.
Professionally applied wrap film on factory paint is designed to release cleanly. Repainted panels, body filler and already-damaged paint are the exceptions. Installers inspect and photograph the vehicle first and flag any area of risk before starting.
A full vehicle wrap typically takes several hours to a full day depending on age and film type. Decals and lettering are usually quick; old sun-baked film takes the longest.
Yes. Removal, prep and reinstallation are often done as one job, especially for rebrands and fleet turnover.
Yes — perforated, frosted and promotional window films, with adhesive cleanup.
Usually, if the wall was properly prepared before the original install. Painted drywall can lose paint if it was not. We tell you what to expect and can coordinate repair and repaint.
Yes. That is a common job when a company changes its name or buys used trucks, and we can apply the new numbers in the same visit.
Yes. Every job is photographed before and after, and we can supply those photos for your return inspection file.
Yes. We phase removal at your yard so vehicles stay in service and dispatch local installers in each market where you have trucks.
Residue cleanup is in scope, including overspray and adhesive left by a previous vendor.
