Guys please take the time to give this gentleman a thumbs up for making this video which helps all of us. I get the feeling that the amount of material he used to show us all these techniques cannot be cheap. Show your great fullness by supporting the channel 👍
You know what I’ve found to be the biggest difference between a good teacher and a run of the mill teacher when it comes to specialized skills training, this is my opinion and strongly based on my own learning abilities i have noticed that if a teacher does something a certain way for a reason like modifying a technique, if that teacher doesn’t demonstrate what happens without using that technique and just tells me to do it this way I am more inclined to try it an easier way even if I’m told not to i personally need to see why i can’t do it that way like i mean witness the actual result and maybe that is my twisted mind but it seems the only way i know how to learn is through mistakes either mine or someone else’s and obviously it’s better to learn from someone else’s 😂
This video was very helpful! I’m an absolute beginner and thought I’d try wrapping my prosthetic knee and pylon in a carbon fibre wrap to match my socket. I tried wrapping areas of my knee and it was so intimidating! After watching your examples I feel confident that I can do it!
It's also worth mentioning that when you wrap, you want to stretch the material as much as you can w/o heat, and then only add heat when needed. Too many people rely on heat to stretch the material, which results in over stretching. And by doing that, it will always want to return to normal, when re-heated by the sun. By stretching it as much as possible w/o heat, it can't shrink itself back down later on when it gets hot, because it was never over stretched with heat in the first place.
Late reacrion but does that mean i shouldn't use heat at all? Got some small things i wanted to wrap l so i just press it all down without heat? (Since they are small things i can cut it out on perfect size)
@@Alice58302 only use heat when you have to. ie in corners. Remember if you use heat to slightly stretch the film to allways post heat the area so it can shrink back into place before trimming 👍
@@Smiles5.7 heating all film up to 100 degrees Celsius after you finished.... basically it kills the memory of vinyl and will stop it from shrinking and or lifting. It is must do step for professional wraps 👍
Heat and cold will ALWAYS make the vinyl jump the gaps on inset body panels, the only way to avoid this is to cheat by completing the 'gap' with a strip (quite invisible and acceptable. - If it's a body cover printed graphic, good luck.
omg the squeegee pressure bit was insane. i tried to wrap my bed on my truck a couple days ago and realized after watching this video that's for sure what i was doing wrong. definitely not enough pressure. you are the man! thank you.
Dude the video title says 5 things and you start off listing the 5 things, like a well written essay or technical paper, and no annoying 4 minute intro or annoying clickbait. You sir are a gentleman and I appreciate your contributions, thank you!
I was gonna go to a shop to get my car (Genesis coupe) wrapped but after binge watching your channel for hours I decided to order the stuff to try at home. Only have the hood and gas cap done but im super satisfied with the results. Honestly you have the best content on YT for this stuff. Camera work is top notch and that's one of the most important parts
thanks it was realy helpful actually i am 17 years old and as you showed in your video i wraped my father's car for his birthday thankyou it was really healpfull
When he threw that piece of vinyl away, i felt like a piece of my soul was crumbled and thrown away... lmao running out of vinyl wrap has humbled me a WHOLE lot😂😂😂
@@teothegreat3587 whats funny is thinking how funny you thought this was going to be in ur head before posting ur comment but whats really funny is that u still think it was funny!! Go read any other legend has it comments!! Really any one you like ANY ONE IN THE WORLD then come back and read yours!! Yea its that bad 👎 🤣
I really, really appreciate that 51 seconds in to the video I've heard the 5 mistakes and have a pretty solid idea why I should watch this. It's like a proper essay, I dig it.
I was struggling with a side view mirror, spent maybe an hour on it and it still looked rough. Watched your segment on hand placement and wow what a difference!! Thank you!
As someone wanting to play around and get started on wrapping, I think this was an amazing video. You got to the point and showed examples. No filler. Thank you.
You totally missed the point. Those mistakes will make your wrap last 6 months vs 3/4 years. Even if it looks good at the beginning. Corners will start to peel in no time. GL with your project.
@@maximous999 shoulda seen this before wraping, my vinyl startet peeling back around the rear window cause I stretched it. Glued it with superglue now cause fuck it 😆
Thanks for your tips & techniques. After watching several of your videos, I carbon wrapped my roof with Vvivid. It turned out good & I couldn’t have done it without your videos. Thanks!
This doesn't look too difficult. I have a bit of history with wrapping, mainly flat wooden surfaces. I got a car dirt dirt cheap. So cheap irs sickening I just hate the idea of it being white. Thank you for your videos! I'd rather out i the effort to have it orange! Thanks again:)
I'm an auto glass tech in Walnut ca. 5 star rated tech. I'm learning vynil because of your videos and I'm wrapping my own car and possibly just have a side hobby to make income. You're videos are gold. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Literally helping people start business for those with that drive.
I just did the roof on my hatchback and your videos did help. It was my first time doing something like this and came out amazing. Thanks for the tips. You always do a outstanding job wrapping.
It’s always so insane to me how he can lift *multiple times* And he never gets bubbles or under film contamination. You wrap guys really are just built different.
It takes practice and the vinyl isn't set right away so you can lift and set a few times although it sounds like you're ripping off the whole panel with it. Lol. Like the other person said it could be the brand/type of wrap. Try something thicker. Just be patient. Remember he's in a controlled environment indoors so contamination is minimal and he's a pro so bubbles don't happen with him but it does when you're learning. 😁
Man, I've watched you do so many mirrors in one go. I keep struggling to get em right. Granted, I'm doing the same one over and over, but I think I might have finally understood what you're doing now. Time to try again this weekend!
Learn soo much ... the way you explain is on point. I would just give you the job if you were local. Its not easy to explain something you already know to someone who never tried it before...need more teachers like you.
I just had my bike wrapped. But I didn’t found this video before. Now I feel like I cand do it better and I will try to wrap my helmet. You have my apreciation and definetely my subscription. Just have one question for you : Do you recomend buying expensive vinyl or you think the cheap one it’s good enough? I have payed for my vinyl around 4€/m2 and I’m afraid to stretch it. Thank you verry much!
I wrapped my boat last week and it looks amazing and people can’t believe how it looks!!!! This shit is very easy it’s all in the prep work and taking your time with out rushing ,I’m doing my truck next

What I found interesting was the squeegee pressure. I used avery gloss black for a roof the other day and I got wrinkles. With avery gloss black being as thin as it is, I actually felt that I was putting to much pressure and was stretching / pushing the film forward causing wrinkles. So I made it stick first before applying more pressure. It worked, but it is an extra (unneeded?) step.
A weird thought entered my head, for wrapping a Lexus im about to buy. Based on sheer luck, i found your channel and the amount of Foundational knowledge in this video already is getting me amped to practise and get into wrapping. Awesome content bro, keep it up.
I have been binge watching this for the entire week since I found it. Awesome. Cool of you to show how this is done. I wrapped a Lambo, it was a matchbox. It was tough.
Hello great videos thank you. I’ve tried to wrap my motorcycle, some quite curvy fairings. I was very pleased with the results, it looked very good for a first attempt. Yet, after a day or two the bendy parts started to stretch leaving big areas where the wrapping doesn’t adhere anymore to the fairing. Why? Did I stretch it too much? Did I use poor quality vinyl? Please advise…
Followed you for quiet a long time now, and I have to just give you a huge thank you. I have learnt so much just sitting in the comfort of my sofa then trying your technique the next day, 💯👌💯👌💯. Thank you for myself and on behalf of all your subscribers 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️
This is an expensive knowledge and really highlighted the do's and don'ts... I compared it with the one where I did amateurly and after I watched this video, the results turned out hella great... thanks for sharing this tips sir
Been watching you since rose gold vinyl was first released. Vinyl wrapping is a lot more easier with all these informative videos. Keep up the quality work 👌
Nothing but motivation! You’ll definitely be hearing from me soon, CK! Either me commenting on another video, or tagging you and giving credit once I post and document my first DIY Car Wrapping Video From The Knowledge I Acquired from your videos! 🙏🏿
I want to wrap the side panels on my pontoon. Can I just lay down the vinyl, smooth out the bubbles with a squeegee and not apply any heat? it is a flat panel without any edges for the vinyl to attach and create tension. I do not want it shrinking in the summer when it is hot
You wrapping the mirror was just what I needed! I am attempting to wrap my headlights and hand placement was where I was going wrong 👌🏽 Just tried it and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I definitely use too much vinyl but I actually didn't know that cutting it flush prevents it from lifting. Great tips! Will be integrating this into my 3rd time vinyl wrapping.
The amount of tutorials on your website is astounding. Awesome instruction here. I went from flat beginner to novice just by watching this one and your 'Cut & Trim Techniques'. I have a few small parts to wrap. Right on.
I really appreciate this video. I've had some vinyl and heat gun for sometime now. Mainly haven't tried to wrap yep because I don't wanna mess up but this video helps me wanna go ahead and try. Any advice on wrapping car badges and emblems without removing them from the car?
You have no idea how great full I am for your time and the fact that you sacrifice quite a bit of Material in order to School us in the right direction.... I have been a Professional Paperhanger for over 30 years and this past weekend did a practice run on my 124 Fiat spider...Would not have turned out half as nice without your knowledge and experience. I have hung Silk Handprints Murals....Ceilings you name it...So I have a feel for handling delicate materials... to Me This is almost second nature once you get a feel for the behavior of the Wrap. I Am Hooked and again I thank you!!! Cheers
Great tips thanks. I watch a video you did wrapping a laptop lid, it was helpful but i just can't get the corners without wrinkles , i done about 30 now. Any chance you could do a detailed one for the corners. Cheers from Australia.
THANK YOU!! Corners have been my worst nightmare but now I understand, been doing it all wrong lol. CK Wraps you have helped me sooo much as I start out in this industry.
I have a camaro on order coming within the next 2 months if all goes good with the semiconductors, and I plan on wrapping it. This video helped to put a lot of information in my head and have it handy for when the time comes. Thank you!
I was wondering if it was that or just a really nice tool... Had to rewatch to look closer, 17:54 you can see the raw edge of the wrap and that rest of handle isn’t covered. He should have the apprentices at his shop make these and sell them! 😂
About to start a wrapping project on my 2019 BMW 330i. Doing the front spoiler and around the fog lights in 7D carbon fiber. If it looks good, I'll work my way to the undertail section where the car is factory grey. All are small accents, but with these techniques, I should be ok. I'll make sure to post a video on my channel with a link/thumbnail to THIS video for anyone wanting to give it a shot. Learning MISTAKES is the key to not making them. I could have watched a HOW TO video, but I think I just taught myself a lot more by watching your DONT DO video. LOL! #HowTo #DontDo
I see, so when your hands are in the right place you're less likely to stretch and distort and more so spreading the vinyl out to lay it down. Thanks man!
How can you prevent the edges from lifting after applying the wrap?, I'm wrapping a jet ski but when I continue the next day the edges are raised and I have to apply heat again to stick them to the jet again, it's a bummer. Thank you for the video btw.
Did you figure it out? He said pull past the edge not to the edge. I’m about to give this a try it would be helpful if that was the issue. Pull past rather than to
Just wrapped my first part (jet ski storage lid). Actually wasn’t that difficult. Def some learning, though, and your vid was a huge help! Helped me not be afraid to go for it. 3M’s 2080 film is awesome! Gonna hit a few trim parts on my GLI next! Thanks for a great tutorial! 👍🏼
Love your videos man. So much free knowledge is appreciated. My first wrap on my GTO I definitely encountered all 5 mistakes 😂 it's ok I learned now to re wrap in pearl white
@@derekbigpowers1993 most of the car is pretty easy. Lay in the dimple on the doors don't stretch into it. It's the rear bumper that's a bitch. I ended up doing it in 3 pieces
I have to comment on this man!You are a beast with the vinyl wrap!I was watching a video of yours from 2014 doing a wrap on a car mirror!I noticed that you cut out an extremely large piece of vinyl for the mirror, but fast forward to this video some years later and more experience,I noticed how you showed what not to do on cutting out to big of a piece of vinyl for the mirror, which you saying now not to do!I have learned a lot from your videos and will try the new way you showing how to do this and not so much the old way you showed back in 2014!Keep up the great work! I subscribed to your channel by the way!Keep the how to videos coming!
Very informative. I’m going to tackle my mirrors next week. I think the hardest part will be not getting any tension on the edges so they don’t pull back.
Thanks for this. I've only wrapped my hood once but know what I did wrong, it doesn't look horrible but I notice it. Off topic, what gloss purple is that in the background?
Thanks for tips wrapping, now I’ll try to continue my trunk wrapping, you’re such a good teacher Sir, God bless you more and thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼😊
I started wrapping some interior stuff last night first was really bad so after the 2 time it’s a lot better so with that is there a glue for the inside edges
I went through a few videos looking for tips and things to avoid.. Your video provided not only what I was looking for but also, gave reasons why you would make the mistake which is a whole new level of teaching your doing. I love it, thank you for the video.
I put on a hood design on my Jeep & also did a minor design using design line on my work truck (freightliner cascadia). All i learned was from your videos. Gotta say, my 1st 2 attempts at "wrapping" were a success in my book. Of course there's some minor flaws. They were my 1st & 2nd attempts after all lol my next 2 attempts will be laying a piece on the hood of my truck, which shouldn't be too bad. But i am also going to try to wrap the chrome grill on the truck black. That will be a challenge. Will be good practice for laying in recesses. Keep up the good work 👍
Just started watching you but I've been wrapping some of my own interior panels for several years. I'm no pro and have learned how to correct some errors I've made on more complex shapes. I have a Audi S5 Cabriolet that's grey with black top. It's got the black RS front and both headlights/taillights & the badges front/rear are all blacked out. So my question today is if you want to wrap a portion of the hood and deck lid (trunk) following boody lines not the entire panel to its edges... It's there a special tool to cut the vinyl against the clear coat or what technique do you use. Another example would be. I have a white GT Mustang and want to to the Ford blue dual stripes which are 10" wide each. My vinyl roll is 25".I can apply the whole roll down the middle and just cut a 5" piece out of the middle. Your professional advice would be a great help.

I want to wrap the side panels on my pontoon. Can I just lay down the vinyl, smooth out the bubbles with a squeegee and not apply any heat? it is a flat panel without any edges for the vinyl to attach and create tension. I do not want it shrinking in the summer when it is hot
Make a video about preventing scratching / removing scratches with heat on the vinyl please :)
I'm glad I made all the beginner mistakes so that you could show me what I did wrong The mirror was classic! I wished I would have saw this b4 I tried
16:30 GREAT EXAMPLE of bad corners. I don’t wrap cars but these tips apply to all vinyl wrapping, not just for cars and corners are the toughest spot.
You wrapping the mirror was just what I needed! I am attempting to wrap my headlights and hand placement was where I was going wrong 👌🏽
Just tried it and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I definitely use too much vinyl but I actually didn't know that cutting it flush prevents it from lifting. Great tips! Will be integrating this into my 3rd time vinyl wrapping.

The amount of tutorials on your website is astounding. Awesome instruction here. I went from flat beginner to novice
just by watching this one and your 'Cut & Trim Techniques'. I have a few small parts to wrap. Right on.
I really appreciate this video. I've had some vinyl and heat gun for sometime now. Mainly haven't tried to wrap yep because I don't wanna mess up but this video helps me wanna go ahead and try. Any advice on wrapping car badges and emblems without removing them from the car?
You have no idea how great full I am for your time and the fact that you sacrifice quite a bit of Material in order to School us in the right direction.... I have been a Professional Paperhanger for over 30 years and this past weekend did a practice run on my 124 Fiat spider...Would not have turned out half as nice without your knowledge and experience. I have hung Silk Handprints Murals....Ceilings you name it...So I have a feel for handling delicate materials... to Me This is almost second nature once you get a feel for the behavior of the Wrap. I Am Hooked and again I thank you!!! Cheers
You sir, are an outstanding teacher!
Doing my first small wrap in a few days. Awesome video. Wish I could like it 100x.
Watching this guy really makes me confident
I'm doing research to wrap an ebike, and I think you just saved me a LOT of frustration
Great tips thanks. I watch a video you did wrapping a laptop lid, it was helpful but i just can't get the corners without wrinkles , i done about 30 now. Any chance you could do a detailed one for the corners. Cheers from Australia.
THANK YOU!! Corners have been my worst nightmare but now I understand, been doing it all wrong lol. CK Wraps you have helped me sooo much as I start out in this industry.
God bless you for sharing your knowledge and giving the gift of wrapping to others.
It’s an honor to witness a master at work.
Is there anyone who is better than this man in the industry. I don’t think so 🤔
Brothers Mark and Nicco at Yiannimize in the UK. Those guys are serious wrappers, by far the best in the UK 👌
check out @wrapsesh they are amazing and have some really unique stuff coming out of AZ
In India there are much better wrappers in every streets
Yep, Samson Montoya he is really good at it. 👌
that_grey_bmw I have to agree with you but in regards to demos and teaching how to learn they don’t even compare.
I have a camaro on order coming within the next 2 months if all goes good with the semiconductors, and I plan on wrapping it. This video helped to put a lot of information in my head and have it handy for when the time comes. Thank you!
I just realized you wrapped your knife. Pretty awesome 😂
I was wondering if it was that or just a really nice tool...
Had to rewatch to look closer, 17:54 you can see the raw edge of the wrap and that rest of handle isn’t covered.
He should have the apprentices at his shop make these and sell them! 😂
About to start a wrapping project on my 2019 BMW 330i. Doing the front spoiler and around the fog lights in 7D carbon fiber. If it looks good, I'll work my way to the undertail section where the car is factory grey. All are small accents, but with these techniques, I should be ok. I'll make sure to post a video on my channel with a link/thumbnail to THIS video for anyone wanting to give it a shot. Learning MISTAKES is the key to not making them.
I could have watched a HOW TO video, but I think I just taught myself a lot more by watching your DONT DO video. LOL!
#HowTo
#DontDo
I see, so when your hands are in the right place you're less likely to stretch and distort and more so spreading the vinyl out to lay it down. Thanks man!
Thanks!
How can you prevent the edges from lifting after applying the wrap?, I'm wrapping a jet ski but when I continue the next day the edges are raised and I have to apply heat again to stick them to the jet again, it's a bummer. Thank you for the video btw.
Upload a video of it and reply back when ya do
Did you figure it out? He said pull past the edge not to the edge. I’m about to give this a try it would be helpful if that was the issue. Pull past rather than to
Just wrapped my first part (jet ski storage lid). Actually wasn’t that difficult. Def some learning, though, and your vid was a huge help! Helped me not be afraid to go for it. 3M’s 2080 film is awesome! Gonna hit a few trim parts on my GLI next! Thanks for a great tutorial! 👍🏼
Thank you Im learning to wrap now with my own cars and this vid already taught me how to fix a lot of my mistakes.
Great tutorial....I'm doin my first wrap this weekend, only interior parts but its a start. Thank You!
I've been a wrapper for over a year now and learned a few new techniques.
Love your videos man. So much free knowledge is appreciated. My first wrap on my GTO I definitely encountered all 5 mistakes 😂 it's ok I learned now to re wrap in pearl white
How hard was it? I’m wrapping mine in white as well
@@derekbigpowers1993 most of the car is pretty easy. Lay in the dimple on the doors don't stretch into it. It's the rear bumper that's a bitch. I ended up doing it in 3 pieces
I have to comment on this man!You are a beast with the vinyl wrap!I was watching a video of yours from 2014 doing a wrap on a car mirror!I noticed that you cut out an extremely large piece of vinyl for the mirror, but fast forward to this video some years later and more experience,I noticed how you showed what not to do on cutting out to big of a piece of vinyl for the mirror, which you saying now not to do!I have learned a lot from your videos and will try the new way you showing how to do this and not so much the old way you showed back in 2014!Keep up the great work! I subscribed to your channel by the way!Keep the how to videos coming!
This is really useful, thanks a lot.
Very informative. I’m going to tackle my mirrors next week. I think the hardest part will be not getting any tension on the edges so they don’t pull back.
I make 4 out 5 mistakes lol.. thanks man, you're awesome
I've been a professional wallpaper hanger for years, and so many techniques fall right in line!
Sounds simple enough to do on my car. Have the advantage of all late 80's/ early 90's cars just being boxes on wheels.
Thanks. I wanted to learn how to wrap my side view mirrors.
I wish i had the money just to be tossing vinyl away like that . This is where i plan to be one day with my shop
Oh my gooosh! I almost returned my wrap roll because I thought it was really short seeing this video I'm going to heat and stretch
Thanks for this. I've only wrapped my hood once but know what I did wrong, it doesn't look horrible but I notice it.
Off topic, what gloss purple is that in the background?
I respect the guy for naming the mistakes in the start of the video
u should wrap a rental and film how they react when u deliver it
Thanks for tips wrapping, now I’ll try to continue my trunk wrapping, you’re such a good teacher Sir, God bless you more and thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼😊
I started wrapping some interior stuff last night first was really bad so after the 2 time it’s a lot better so with that is there a glue for the inside edges
I'm doing this on my K5. I started today and you can see all the seams. Glad I found this video😂
Thanks a lit chris, whith your amazing vids I wrapped my car and it looks great! All thanks to you.
Upload pics bro!
I went through a few videos looking for tips and things to avoid.. Your video provided not only what I was looking for but also, gave reasons why you would make the mistake which is a whole new level of teaching your doing. I love it, thank you for the video.
I put on a hood design on my Jeep & also did a minor design using design line on my work truck (freightliner cascadia). All i learned was from your videos. Gotta say, my 1st 2 attempts at "wrapping" were a success in my book. Of course there's some minor flaws. They were my 1st & 2nd attempts after all lol my next 2 attempts will be laying a piece on the hood of my truck, which shouldn't be too bad. But i am also going to try to wrap the chrome grill on the truck black. That will be a challenge. Will be good practice for laying in recesses. Keep up the good work 👍
Trying to learn as much as possible before I start wrapping my car. Very helpful and informative. Thanks. Earned a like and sub from this guy.
Just started watching you but I've been wrapping some of my own interior panels for several years. I'm no pro and have learned how to correct some errors I've made on more complex shapes. I have a Audi S5 Cabriolet that's grey with black top. It's got the black RS front and both headlights/taillights & the badges front/rear are all blacked out. So my question today is if you want to wrap a portion of the hood and deck lid (trunk) following boody lines not the entire panel to its edges... It's there a special tool to cut the vinyl against the clear coat or what technique do you use. Another example would be. I have a white GT Mustang and want to to the Ford blue dual stripes which are 10" wide each. My vinyl roll is 25".I can apply the whole roll down the middle and just cut a 5" piece out of the middle. Your professional advice would be a great help.
Use 3M knifeless tape.
Search that on Ebay and you'll find what you need 👍
Thank you so much for this video, I'm about to wrap my motorcycle and this is really well explained!
