Customizing Your Golf Cart with Wraps

Golf carts have come a long way from the utilitarian vehicles used strictly for getting around the course.

Golf Cart Wrap Process

Design

The first step is coming up with the visual design you want for your wrapped golf cart. Work with a wrapping specialist who can help translate your vision into a viable wrap format. Custom graphics can be created from scratch, or you can provide images to be incorporated into the design. The specialist will layout the wrap plan showing what the finished cart will look like from all angles.

Prep Work

Properly preparing the golf cart surface is crucial for wraps to adhere correctly. The cart will be cleaned to remove any dirt, oil or wax. Any body damage will be repaired, and surface scratches prepped. Proper preparation ensures maximum performance from the wrap without issues like bubbles, lifting or premature wear.

Application

Once the design is completed and approve and surface prepped, the wrapping specialist will meticulously apply each panel of vinyl film. The vinyl is removed from the backing paper and smoothed into place working from the center outward to minimize air bubbles. Care is taken around contours, seams and edges so no signs of transition show. Most cart wraps can be completed in 1-2 days.

Finish & Protection

When installation is complete, any excess vinyl is trimmed. A heat gun is used to form-fit the wrap around curved or irregular surfaces. The specialist will look over every inch of the cart for any imperfections before consider it finished. An application can be used to protect the finish against elements like sun fading. Your personalize golf cart is ready to show off!

Maintaining Your Wrap

While vinyl wraps are durable and made to last 5-7 years outdoors, proper care is recommended:

  • Wash regularly with soap and water to prevent buildup
  • Inspect wrap for lifting or damage periodically
  • Avoid parking under trees or brush that could scratch it
  • Re-apply protective sealant every 2 years
  • Remove fluid spills quickly to prevent staining
  • Consider garage storage to minimize sun exposure

By caring for your custom wrap, you???ll keep your golf cart looking amazing for years of cruising the course in style.
