I had the top of my Wrangler wrapped white because of the heat after sitting outside all day. They did such a bad job, that when I was down, I’d climb up and look at the wrap. It always made me laugh. Now it’s peeling, and I need to remove it. Any ideas on how to make it easier?

How much was it. Been thinking about wrapping the truck.

I have heard of rich people doing this on their supercars to protect the paint. So not just for the poors, apparently.

@Edgehollow said 5k for a f150. If this true, which I'm not doubting , I probably wouldnt do it.

Full disclosure, he teaches classes on wrapping vehicles. He usually rents a car, wraps it, unwraps it, and returns it. I volunteered ol girl so it was free. I went with a solid blue on what was a gray truck. I'll see if I can find a before and after pic to post.

What exactly is the wrap and how is applied? Is it plastic and it goes on almost like a saran wrap?
Vinyl with an adhesive backing and kinda. They use heat and stretch it to catch all the contours. Downside is if you open the doors, you can see the old colors. But, when I go thru the carwash it pops. Had one guy tell me that color "doesn't exist in nature, I've only seen it in comic books".

I took that as a compliment, because I didn't know how else to take it.
