why not just paint it. i have done my whole interior years ago. it lasted the entire life of the car. prep work is key. sanding, cleaning priming, can even use 3m adhesive spray, the right paint as well. if you do it proper it lasts and looks better than most vinyls. clear coat spray cans are terrible. believe it or not i was able to use high quality polyurethane over black with no yellowing. i fiber glassed some items. used the epoxy resin as a clear coat in some areas.these were able to be waxed. the gloss was to intense driving in sunlight. it would become blinded at times on the dash. watch for uv damage with cheap clears. was a white car, black and deep blue interior trim. i had the best interior i have every seen to date. lost many pics over hard drive crash :( if a finger nail leaves scratches how is it going to look after a few weeks in real word use.
@@akqjtn soundproofing is like the cherry on top. i have done my car. if road noise is loud it helps. its not a must at all. use a liquid sound deadner where you can. much easier to work with. i happlied liquid over whole car,then those smelly asphat over certain areas, also open and closed cell foam in key areas help to. if you have a decent system its about impossible to stiop all trunk noise. its a bit of trial and error. your car will sound much quiter when passing cops. your system becomes a bit of a sleeper. once you enter boom. spray foam is a secrete.
What would we do without TH-cam and people like you posting vids such as these. Thanks so much for the demo. The factory paint has come off from high traffic trim pieces and this vinyl wrap will be just the thing to make it look nice again. I appreciate ur efforts and hope mine looks almost as good as yours. Cheers.
Don’t be afraid to take on this type of project. I’ve never wrapped a thing before in my life. I managed to do a pretty decent job on my Escalades wooden trim. I hated the shiny light plastic looking wood and wrapped it with a darker more natural looking wood it was also textured.
Definitely one of the better videos on wrapping trim. Great narrative and demonstration for the difficult areas - corners, inside and especially outside!
Definitely a great tutorial! Given I've just had this video, patience, the heat gun from a soldering station (set to minimum and carefully used as well), and got it perfect on my 1st try, definitely this video played a good part. Did it on a laptop LCD lid, mine is carbon fiber pattern and it really looks awesome now. The flat part is easy of course but the corners and rounded edges were tricky, but a little heat, stretching it just enough and patiently doing, it turned out perfect. Goes to show that with patience, the right tools (that don't even need to be fancy) and a great tutorial, anyone can take their hand at it and not be afraid. Also for whoever decides to do it with a hot air solder station: just set it to around 150ºc and maximum airflow, no nozzle, pretty much as little time with heat applied as he showed on video.
I've been slowly wrapping the trim pieces of my car. I didn't have this video to help me along, but I'll be redoing them with help of this vid. Thanks for sharing!!
Yeah I already have access to every bit of kit through family business so will definitely be taking the full dash out of my car on a sunny day , full gloss black and gunmetal detailing I think 🤔
Came here looking to wrap or make trim pieces for my 2017 WRX and ended up finding a video for what I want😂 doesn’t happen to often it’s for the exact car you’re looking for
Dip comes off alot easier than this stuff specially interior where u touch everything. I did my rims and saw it come off within a year i know i didn't apply enough but as an amateur i wouldn't have thay problem with vinyl. How did it go for you?
you make it look so easy when in reallity it is terrifyingly hard xD wrapped some interior pieces just yesterday and almost pissed blood! still came out great but was a heck of work and sweat
Really well done and thorough, just wrapped a piece of cracked trim for the first time after watching. Not perfect but I'll get better at it. A cheap hair dryer worked for me.
Finally a video that explains the vinyl process in detail. I have done my own wrapping in my car but I bought a cheap vinyl wrap from China which creates a lot of bubbles and it's very thick. It took me a long time to do it but I think I am going to buy a good quality vinyl and do it over again. Very good explanation made!
Didn't know it would take this much time. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. Pros: I'll have an entire afternoon of spending on detailing the car. Cons: I will probably get frustrated when I mess up for the xth time. Anyhow, very solid tutorial. Thanks man. Looks OEM.
Bro! Phenomenal instructional video! I’ve watched a lot of video, as I want to learn how to vinyl wrap, this is the best video BY FAR! Way to explain patience, techniques, the importance of different cuts, addressing the sharp corners, and showing the back view. You are very thorough! Way to go man, I feel 100% comfortable vinyl wrapping the trim pieces in my car now. You gained a new subscriber. Keep it up!
Watched this video 2-3 times already and i havent even gotten the wrap. Ill end up rematching it one more time right before i do it but im excited to start wrapping. Ill end up doing it in a week or two
After successfully fucking up the first time i tried this, im going to attempt it again after watching this. Lots of usefull tips in here and i can clearly see now what stuff i did wrong.
Thank you. I regret waiting to wrap the nonesense piano black in my Forester. Especially that my dog sits with my wife and scratched the console already
Just a question. Even on the first piece… why heat and press with all the tension, in stead of either splitting or trimming the center, then heating and working each side?
Where do you get extra primer they never sent it in my packag? I have the same exact brand of wrap but silver carbon fiber, Also what's the temperature setting on the heat gun that you're using? My heat gun has exact temperature settings
Very informative! My 4Runner has plastic inserts in the doors that are not removable, yet I want to wrap those sections. Will you provide a short tutorial video on that type of application?
Great tutorial! Probably the best vinyl vid I've seen. I'm definitely going to try this out myself. Already taken the dash apart, I just need some vinyl now. I know you used 3M, but I'm wondering what's the best brand you'd recommend for interior trim like this. I've been doing some research, and people say that 3M can be kinda finicky. Got any videos on headliner repair, audio upgrades (replacing OEM speakers or sub box and wiring) or rally light installs? These are all jobs I'm doing to my car. I have a first gen BMW cooper that I'm working on as a refurbishment project.
How did you remove the silver trim. The long pieces (the one on the left of the steering wheel and the one above the glove box)? Just pry them off? I dont want to end up breaking them.
4:20 start in the corners, not the middle. if you start in the middle then by the time you reach the corners you only have a tiny amount of wrap left to stretch into the corners, meaning way more tension in the corners. if you start in the corners you have all that material in the middle to stretch towards the corners and way more even tension.
I would do a relief cut on the middle of the first piece prior to pressing into the middle. You will get rid of the tension, and it will go much faster.
Thanks for the video iam wrapping similar parts for the first time,and this is exactly what i needed to see to get a feel for the amount of heat and stretching.gave me the confidence todo my stuff and it turned out great.i took my time cause thats what it takes to make it look like it came that way..
At 4:10 why not apply the adhesive once you start working the middle/back Just curious if there was a reason for doing it 1st even though you worked the front middle first
What I would recommend is make the relief cut first making an X just mind how far the is reces you don’t want to cut the film you’re wrapping with I noticed even after making the square cut he still had the same amount of tension which leads to over stretching the material causing discoloration and warping of the pattern
best tutorial I've found! Incredibly helpful to see all the equipment needed and tips like making slits and using heat to your benefit on corners. Given me a lot more knowledge to wrap my own car interior pieces! Thank you great video man!
Love this video I’m buying a car for my channel and im gonna have to wrap some pieces Of trim and I’m worried but this definitely made it less scary seeing you work with it so much was great :) cause I was worried you had to me like the flash or it would dry and be done 🙏🙏this was great thank you!!!
Your video was very help. I tried wrapping my 2012 Ford Fusion stereo surround. It didn’t come out at all. I never miss with this stuff before. I think I ordered the wrong wrap. I ordered vinyl wrap. To me it’s way thicker then what you have. Anyways, I keep practicing.
Looks clean. Your tutorial videos are well made, with clear explanations. What's your next project?
@@akqjtn I was thinking about a dash cam myself. I'll make sure to check your videos. Cheers.

Real light layer of finger nail clear over the edge does the trick...been using that trick for 40 years..never had it fail.
Finger nail clear?🤔
@@MFRiley Clear nail polish
Man, you're really good at explaining things
Great video. Most clear, easy to understand and informative wrapping video I’ve seen yet. Has reinspired my confidence to give wrapping another go!
Interior wrapping is a great way to give a modern vibe to older car
This is one of the best 'novice' vids I have found for wrapping, thank you dude, now gonna give it a shot!
Your patience & attention to detail amazes me. Keep it up 👍😎
Great video. I wish everyone showed and explained the way you did. Excellent detail. Thanks!
I've been slowly wrapping the trim pieces of my car. I didn't have this video to help me along, but I'll be redoing them with help of this vid. Thanks for sharing!!
WOW you made that look easy, I will be attempting wrapping soon, thanks for your advice I will certainly watch this a few more times before I start
Just wanted to say this video really helped me with my first wrap on my car. Thank you!
This is perfect for someone whos just bought a first car with very basic interior, nice seat covers and this and the car will look perfect
Yeah I already have access to every bit of kit through family business so will definitely be taking the full dash out of my car on a sunny day , full gloss black and gunmetal detailing I think 🤔
Good video. As the video mentioned multiple times " patience " is the key!

IMPRESSIVE, CLEAR THOUGHT OUT DIRECTIONS. You gained a new subscriber!
You just convinced me that I should dip everything....
Dip comes off alot easier than this stuff specially interior where u touch everything. I did my rims and saw it come off within a year i know i didn't apply enough but as an amateur i wouldn't have thay problem with vinyl. How did it go for you?
@@dukedizzy you didn't do it right then dip last just as much as vinal or paint
@@abinsaji4449 Lmao no it does not. Complete lie.
@@Luckingsworth yea it can if done correctly and applied properly it can last 3years or more it shouldn't come off when you touch it
@@abinsaji4449 Vinyl will last indefinitely if applied correctly.
Best tutorial i’ve ever seen to be honest
I wish i would of watch this before doing my door lock covers. This tutorial is perfect 💯 A+++++
You did a very good job of explaining details of the project. I have learned a new skill. Thanks.
nice job. love the brush aluminum look.
Great instructional video. I'm nervous about wrapping my new truck but I'm going to give it a shot.
I just attempted to do a wrap yesterday on a small trim piece, needless to say, it didn't work out so now I know what to do I'm going to try it again!
you make it look so easy when in reallity it is terrifyingly hard xD wrapped some interior pieces just yesterday and almost pissed blood! still came out great but was a heck of work and sweat
This was a great demonstration video on Wrapping... Thank You!
I appreciate the points you chose emphasize. Great tutorial. Saved for future reference.
Really well done and thorough, just wrapped a piece of cracked trim for the first time after watching. Not perfect but I'll get better at it. A cheap hair dryer worked for me.
All from the beginning this is very informative and helpful
Really good of you to make this video. Great work and big respect to you. Thanks bro 👊🏽

Nice, one of the better videos on TH-cam...
Really great video, showed me what I'd been doing wrong! Still think I'll struggle to achieve that finish but gave me some confidence to try again.
Black on black is the best way to go..awesome video thank you
na.. that's the easy way.. Silver highlights are the best Definitely make the interior pop
AWESOME quality and content! Exactly the video I needed to see! Thank you!

For once a tutorial that show's how to do a tricky job rather than the most easy part like most tutorials.
your a wizard, Im watching this whole thing and not really even wanting to wrap anything more than a shifter boot bezel.

Do you have a tutorial on the tools and how to remove the interior trims ?
Was hoping you'd show us how to remove those panels from the car
After successfully fucking up the first time i tried this, im going to attempt it again after watching this. Lots of usefull tips in here and i can clearly see now what stuff i did wrong.
Amazing tutorial! Can´t belive this video doesn´t have a million views!
After seeing this I've plan for long wintery evenings 😇
I see you real handy with wrap. How about a video on wrapping the piano plastic on the interior of a Mazda CX5?
Thank you.
I regret waiting to wrap the nonesense piano black in my Forester. Especially that my dog sits with my wife and scratched the console already
wow, just wow. cant wait to try it myself for my car.
Very helpful video brother mi trim piece came looking real good Thanks

Hey man it Looks great, thanks for The videos you you upload
non powdered latex gloves helps too when cleaning
Found this while trying to figure out how to get rid of that awful piano black in my car. Thank you!
Brilliant will do more of mine this week
Gave me a lot more confidence to try and wrap the old brown wood trim I'm my m35
Good information and really well made video.
impressive skillz man, I would like to just pay you to do my interior haha
Tried doing some trim on my truck with 3M vinyl, but it seemed to lose it's stickyness almost instantly.
I have bubbles that pop up usually where the sun gets to
Thank you for this. I'm gonna do it to my car because the finish on the trim bubbles up due to hear and/or poor manufacturing.
How did you get the center console piece by the shifter out to wrap it?
How do you get the parts off of the car? Do they all just snap out from the clips?
best tutorial I've found! Incredibly helpful to see all the equipment needed and tips like making slits and using heat to your benefit on corners. Given me a lot more knowledge to wrap my own car interior pieces! Thank you great video man!
Wrapping is impossible for me it’s always wrinkly I can’t push the wrinkles out I have to use cut pieces and piece it on only way I can wrap
You do a very thorough video!
Love this video I’m buying a car for my channel and im gonna have to wrap some pieces Of trim and I’m worried but this definitely made it less scary seeing you work with it so much was great :) cause I was worried you had to me like the flash or it would dry and be done 🙏🙏this was great thank you!!!
Easy and detailed explanation
This video just made me throw all my hopes and dreams of customizing my car 😂
I can’t get this done by myself who do I got to pay dam

Wow, awesome video, congratulations man!
Any video on how to get the parts from the car? Having a problem getting them out from my car... seat ateca 2019
Thanks man im gonna try to give my mustang a retro look by using wooden wrap, then I'll permanently install the "9D carbon fiber wrap"
Great guide, thank you. Will be useful to use on my channel and projects.
question: once its in place and installed, can't the vinyl rip easily from random things scratching/coming into contact with it?
Thank you brother! This stuff definitely takes some patience!
Going to tackle this next week on a 17 Golf Alltrack.
Awesome vid! Thank u very much! Looks clean.
Great job mate! This video has made the whole process alot easier cheers bro🤙
Great video. I did mine today def harder then it look but great training video.
Wow man your vids are the shit how do you not have more followers !
You do a great job at video production. Looks awesome as well!
Great! I think im ready to give it a practice go. My first time.
Nice job on this really clear video. Thanks!
