Once your chrome has been wrapped in 3M vinyl after our dechroming service, you will no longer need to worry about harsh chemicals from car washed damaging your chrome. This is very common in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the chromes will tarnish after chemicals have been sprayed on them, the vinyl will protect your chrome from this.

Gloss Black.
Reason being; almost every ‘Night Pack’ from factory is gloss black. All new Tesla’s from 2020 onwards come with a full dechrome from standard, in satin black. -
The vinyl that we use is dry application, meaning from the minute you leave our workshop in Durham you can wash your car. There’s no drying or curing time, however… Please keep your distance with the pressure washer, you can use a pressure washer but some are very powerful and might cause the corners to lift, we must stress this is extremely unlikely.
-
Yes. Dechrome can be peeled off no problem at all, often leaving no glue.
If you want to remove your dechrome, we can do that for you, just give us a call and we will help you out.
-
NOTICE: Please do not clean your car for 24 hours prior to a dechroming booking. This is because water will hide in the crevices and stop the vinyl from sticking.
A clean car can help. however it is not vital.Exterior:
Please ensure your exterior is relatively clean. You don’t need to bring your car absolutely immaculate, but if you have lumps of mud all over it from off-roading, we won’t be able to work on it.
