The difference between PET Liner and Paper Liner

PET Liner advantages:
Appearance: PET Liner has a smoother, glossier surface than Paper Liner.
Durability: PET Liner offers increased durability compared to Paper Liner. It is less prone to tearing, wrinkling or curling, providing more reliability during installation
Moisture Resistance: PET Liner is more resistant to moisture and humidity than Paper Liner. This helps prevent the backing from weakening over time, ensuring better adhesion and longevity of the vinyl film.
Dimensional Stability: PET Liner has excellent dimensional stability, which means it maintains its shape even under changing environmental conditions. This reduces the risk of warping or twisting.
Easy to remove: PET Liner is designed to be easily removed without leaving residue on the vinyl film.
Recyclability: PET Liner is recyclable because it can be melted down and reused to produce new PET material
. This supports sustainability efforts and reduces environmental impact.

Overall, choose PET backing for improved durability, moisture resistance, dimensional stability, easy removal, recyclability, and enhanced appearance. These advantages make PET backing a popular choice among installers and consumers in the vinyl film industry.


PET Disadvantages:
Construction difficulty: PET liner is very easy to produce offset marks and scratches when used at high temperatures or during repeated construction, and many problems are irrecoverable once they occur. We recommend using defoamer and surface wax on the scraper during installation. The Paper Liner is easy to apply and resists offset and scratches.
Construction environment: PET liner easily generates static electricity when removing the protective film and release bottom, so the requirements for the construction environment are very high. It must be dust-free or close to dust-free (or other methods that can solve static electricity), and the Paper Liner does not have high requirements on the construction environment.
Storage environment: PET liner warehouse storage materials have higher standards. It is extremely easy to cause tunneling due to improper storage and is easily deformed after cutting. Paper Liner does not have these concerns.

How to maintain the car wrap film

The best maintenance method is regular cleaning. When there is dirt, bird droppings (especially on horizontal surfaces), or fuel spillage after rain, the membrane surface should be rinsed quickly or wiped with detergent immediately. When washing your car, we recommend using a high-pressure washer (less than 2000 ps) or hand washing. Before using a foaming cleanser, make sure to rinse away as much dirt and grit as possible with water. Do not wash your vehicle in an automatic car wash at a gas station to clean your vehicle.

Can polish or wax be used on the car wrap film

It is ok, high-quality polishing, use a dual-action polisher at low speed and do not use any abrasive polishes or abrasive compounds on the film. It is recommended to use a high quality spray wax after washing your car to maintain or even extend performance life. Please test the polish or wax on a small area of the film before applying to the entire vehicle. Please keep in mind that we do not offer a warranty if the film is damaged by any aftermarket products (i.e. waxes, polishes, ceramic coatings.

Does it matter whether the vehicle is stored indoors or outdoors

It is recommended to store it in a garage or a cool place (if there is no garage) on a daily basis. The longer it is exposed to sunlight and outdoor conditions, the service life of the color-changing film will be shortened. At night, if possible, the vehicle should be protected from weather conditions such as dew or rain. If there is no garage, a cloth car cover can also provide good protection.

If the following situation occurs, please clean or handle the vehicle in time, otherwise the vehicle film will be damaged:
1. Insect corpses, bird droppings, gums, and obvious rainwater scales adhere to the film surface and are exposed to high temperatures.
2. The film surface is attached to the air-conditioning water after splashing on the floor, and is exposed to high temperatures;
3. The flying paint from spray paint adheres to the film surface and is exposed to high temperatures;
4. A large amount of oil stains discharged from the range hood adhere to the membrane surface and are exposed to high temperatures;
5. After running on the highway and a large number of insect corpses are attached to the surface of the car film; when cleaning the car immediately, wait until the vehicle temperature is at room temperature. Do not spray chemical agents such as insect corpse remover on the surface of the film when the film is at high temperature. Otherwise, the membrane surface will be damaged immediately.
6. For vehicles that have been installed with vinyl wrap film, try to avoid sticking the suction cup directly on the film surface, otherwise it will leave suction marks.

What is PET liner vinyl wrap

PET Liner vinyl wrap backing is made of plastic PET, and the surface of the film is flat and smooth, whether it is matte or glossy. It is not easy to produce orange peel lines, but it requires the installer to have high installation skill and relevant experience.

Precautions before installing PET Liner Vinyl Wrap

After cutting the material, it is recommended to remove the PET protective film immediately. If the PET protective film continues to remain on the rest roll, the "TUNNEL PROBLEM" effect will occur because the tension between the PVC film substrate and the PET protective film and the PET release bottom is unbalanced; Due to the large tension of PET film caused by arching, this will damage the PVC material and destroy the adhesive backing, resulting in the waste and loss of the film; Therefore, it is recommended that after unpacking and pasting, the remaining material needs to peel off the PET protective film, or pay attention to tying the remaining material when slitting, so as to reduce unnecessary loss, if the protective film is not removed after opening, the back will arch up and deform with stripe marks
