The first 72 hours are particularly important because the adhesive needs time to settle properly.

After your vehicle graphics have been installed:

• Keep the vehicle dry and avoid washing it for at least 72 hours after installation.
• Do not press, lift or pull the edges of the vinyl while the adhesive is curing.
• Small air or moisture pockets may settle naturally during the curing period.

Following these initial precautions helps the vehicle graphics settle properly and reduces the risk of unnecessary edge lifting or damage.

Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance of your branded vehicle. However, vehicle graphics should be cleaned carefully to avoid damaging the vinyl or its edges.

Recommended cleaning method:

• Hand-wash the vehicle using clean water.
• Use mild pH-neutral soap with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth.
• Rinse the vehicle thoroughly after washing.
• Dry gently to help prevent water spots.
• Clean bird droppings, insects, fuel and oil spills as soon as possible.

For branded commercial vehicles in Dubai, regular and gentle cleaning is especially useful for maintaining a professional appearance.

Certain cleaning products and aggressive cleaning methods can affect vinyl graphics and their finish.

To protect your vehicle branding:

• Do not use abrasive brushes.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and solvents.
• Do not use petroleum-based wax on the branded surface.
• Avoid automatic car washes with brushes.
• Avoid steam cleaning.
• Never scrape the vinyl surface.
• Do not use sharp tools around vinyl edges or seams.

If you are unsure whether a cleaning product is suitable for your vehicle graphics, it is better to avoid using it until you have confirmed its suitability.

Hand washing is recommended for vehicles with vinyl branding.

If pressure washing is necessary, take extra care:

• Use low pressure.
• Keep the pressure-washing nozzle at least 1 metre away from the vehicle surface.
• Hold the nozzle at approximately a 90-degree angle to the surface.
• Never direct a high-pressure water jet toward vinyl seams, corners or edges.

Excessive pressure or directing water toward the edges of the vinyl can increase the risk of lifting or damaging the graphics.

Dubai's climate can expose vehicles to significant sunlight and heat. Proper parking can help reduce unnecessary exposure.

Whenever possible:

• Use shaded or covered parking to reduce UV and heat exposure.
• Do not place hot objects directly against the branded surface.
• Give additional care to the roof, bonnet and other horizontal surfaces.

Horizontal surfaces can receive greater exposure to direct sunlight and heat, so additional care is recommended in these areas.

Regular inspection can help you identify potential issues at an early stage.

We recommend:

• Inspecting vinyl edges regularly.
• Do not attempt to glue or repair lifted vinyl yourself.
• Take photographs if you notice a concern.
• Contact Printzone for professional assessment when required.
• Report sticker-related repair requirements within 10 days of branding.

Repairs reported after this period may be chargeable, as stated in the vehicle branding terms.
