Do they charge to remove the wrap or is this included in the price, or are you taking it off yourself ?

If it were me I would mis waxing too but think would leave the warp on til the spring & the gritter lorries had finished !

Have to pay for it to be removed, don't want to try it myself...

I had thought about leaving it on, but I'm worried that salt will get under it (as its peeling in areas) so would prefer to have it off (so to speak) and get some coats of wax on it before winter comes :)

Definitely considering IIRC they advised you there would be no paint issues with a car that is wrapped?

That's weird the same thing happened on my golf when they took my wrap off when returning to original blue it stripped the paint off my door pillars and my A pillar front wing

Just getting a quote from a bodyshop of the value to put right, those thinking of wrapping, or already wrapped, you have been warned
