Car Wraps in Davie, FL

Car Wraps for Davie drivers, installed in Davie

Our wrap bay is in Davie, at 5150 SW 48th Way, Unit 614, south of I-595 near Griffin Road, just west of State Road 7 with the Hard Rock next door. If you are coming from the Nova Southeastern side of town it is five minutes; from Pine Island Ridge or the west-side ranch streets, about fifteen. The point of saying that first is simple: a color change wrap takes days, and a shop you can drop in on while it happens is worth more than a shop you have to plan a trip around.

A wrap here is a full disassembly job. Handles, badges and trim come off where the design calls for it, the film wraps under the edge instead of being trimmed at the surface, and every panel is squeegeed and post-heated so it stays where we put it. We stock and install 3M 2080, Avery Dennison SW900 and Inozetek super gloss, and we will put the real roll against your own paint in daylight before you pick a color.

Color change wraps start at $3,000 for a compact and top out at $3,950 for a large SUV. Chrome deletes, roofs and accents are priced on their own and cost far less. Every wrap carries 0% financing for 12 months, and you have a written price for your exact car before the first sheet is cut.

The cheapest PPF job is the one you never have to redo

We are not the lowest quote in South Florida, and that is on purpose. The price for your car is published by size before anything starts and there is no fee added at pickup. Every film job includes the wash, the clay and iron decontamination, light paint correction where the paint needs it, wrapped edges wherever the panel allows, and a car that stays indoors from drop-off to pickup. A quote that beats it by a few hundred dollars is leaving one of those out.

Budget film coming off a door after a few Florida summers.

Budget film usually has no anti-yellowing top coat and no registered warranty: two or three Florida summers and it yellows, stains and goes hard on the paint.

Paint protection film has to last at least ten years and stay clear the whole time. That is what your car gets here: Urban with a 10-year warranty or Ceramic Pro PPF with a lifetime warranty, registered in your name, with the job reported to the vehicle’s CARFAX.

The worst case is the common one: a few years from now you pay to have a protection removed that looked cheap today and was supposed to last a decade, and you find the paint marked underneath. The cheap film cost twice.

What a cheap film job looks like

Six things we find when a car comes in to have someone else’s film taken off.

Blade cuts in the paint

The film is trimmed on the car with the blade riding on the clear coat. Every cut line is a scratch you find the day the film comes off. Ours is cut off the car, from the pattern for your exact model, so the blade never runs on the paint.

Dirt and bubbles under the film

Dust, lint and trapped water sealed under the film in an open bay show up in the first week of Florida sun. Ours goes on after the decontamination wash, in a closed, climate-controlled bay.

Seams and lifting edges

Relief cuts across the middle of a panel, edges stopped short of the panel edge, corners that lift at the first pressure wash. We wrap the edges wherever the panel allows and keep seams where the eye does not go.

Film that yellows and stains

Unbranded film with no top coat turns yellow and holds bug and sap marks. Urban carries a 10-year warranty and Ceramic Pro PPF a lifetime warranty on the original factory paint, both registered in your name. Stains are maintenance, not a defect, which is why Full Front comes with a Ceramic Pro Sport coating on the entire car.

Film over sensors and cameras

Film laid over a parking sensor, a radar cover or a camera lens, or a bumper refitted a few millimeters off, and the driver aids start throwing warnings. Every sensor, camera and radar cover on your model is worked around, never covered.

Every Ceramic Pro coating and film we install is reported to the vehicle's CARFAX.

No registered warranty

A “lifetime warranty” typed on an invoice is worth what that shop is worth next year. Ours is the manufacturer’s, registered in your name, and the Ceramic Pro work is reported to the vehicle’s CARFAX.

Registered warranty

Elite Premium Detailing is a Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer with a 5-star record. Every Ceramic Pro coating and Ceramic Pro PPF job is registered in your name and reported to the vehicle’s CARFAX with the date, the product and the installer. Because the film and coating are documented on the vehicle's CARFAX, the reinstallation can be included in an insurance repair after a collision. Terms are the manufacturer’s: Urban PPF 10 years, Ceramic Pro PPF the lifetime of the original factory paint, Ceramic Pro coatings by package (Bronze 2 years, Silver 5, Gold and Ultimate ION lifetime), KAVACA Ultimate IR window film for the life of the vehicle. Staining is not a warranty item on any film, ours included, which is why the coating goes over it.

The wrap process, start to finish

Three visits at most: consult, drop-off, pickup. The car never leaves the building in between.

• Free wrap consult. You compare real film against your own paint in daylight, we inspect the clear coat and flag anything that needs correcting before film goes on, and you leave with a written price.
• Strip and prep. Wash, full decontamination, and trim, handles and badges removed where the design needs it. Vinyl only bonds to clean paint, so this step is not rushed.
• Panel-by-panel install. One panel at a time in a climate-controlled bay, squeegeed, post-heated, edges wrapped around the panel rather than cut at the surface.
• Reassembly and quality pass. Everything goes back on, the car gets a final inspection under light, and we walk you through washing and care so the finish holds up in Davie sun.

Wrapping a car that lives in Davie

Davie puts two things on a wrap that most of the country does not. The first is well water. Many properties here irrigate from shallow wells, and the iron in that water oxidizes on hot film and leaves an orange cast along the rockers and lower doors. On a matte or satin wrap it is especially visible, and the fix is a decontamination wash, not a scrub, which is the one thing you should never do to film. Point the sprinklers away from the driveway and rinse the car the same day if they hit it.

The second is exposure. A car parked in the open on a Davie lot in July is taking a UV index of 7 or higher for hours a day, which is exactly the condition the film makers say shortens horizontal-panel life. Garage-kept cars get the full five to seven years; cars that live outside near the 595 do not, and we would rather say that at the consult than after. A Ceramic Pro coating over the wrap is the practical answer for anyone without a garage.
