[@itslivey]

As an Alaskan vinyl wrapper I can help shed some light on wrap longevity. Or rather the lack of. The problem with vinyl in heavy snow is that it doesn’t like the cold very much. Once exposed to temperatures well below zero vinyl shows it’s pvc nature and becomes brittle. Once it becomes brittle it’s pretty easy to tear/chip and that’s where the real issues come in. If you can keep it intact the wrap will last, but once the snow can get up under those chips the wrap is going to look like trash and you’re just going to pull it off. As long as you can keep the wrap solid you shouldn’t have issues though

[@marc_svsengineering4319]

I live in Alaska. so far, I have done several colors (mostly matts) and I get all my wraps from Vvivid Vinyls. I haven't tried any PPF since most of them require applying wet. I have one car that's in ghost blue that's been on for about 7 years and gets driven all year around. I am just now starting to see some signs of lifting/air trapped in crease/channels. I count myself pretty lucky for how long its lasted, but I am wondering if it's a brand related issue. I just use normal car soap that's vinyl friendly. Just asking since you have experience up here

[@chrisreynolds2410]

All three brands are good and have different qualities. You have to work with it to know the slight differences. It’s a matter of color choice which brand you want to use. I like Teckwrap’s bright hot boi colors. People are free to choose what brand and color they want when I do their cars.

[@melendezaaron]

@@ParadoxTheWrapper thanks bud. I've used avery and 3m and both are good materials of course. I've also used other brands where the initial tack was so strong it was impossible for me to use being that I am new to wrapping. If you dont mind i have one last question. The white pearl chameleon gold that you used for the Mercedes, did it have a ton more gold flake then the 3m white pearl gold that you used for sonny's car? Thanks again for all your help.
