Car wraps are hot, but the myths around them? Total buzzkills. These misconceptions waste your cash and stress you out. Let’s bust 10 big ones with facts and expert takes.

1. “Wraps Damage Paint” – Nope. Quality wraps protect paint; damage only happens with bad installs or removal.
2. “Only Rich People Wrap Cars” – Wrong. DIY kits start at $500, pro jobs at $2,000—cheaper than a paint job.
3. “Wraps Last Forever” – Not quite. 5-7 years max with care.
4. “You Can’t Wash Wrapped Cars” – False. Just use the right method (see #2).
5. “Wraps Fade Fast” – Only cheap ones. Premium vinyl resists UV for years.
6. “It’s Just Cosmetic” – Nope. Wraps shield against scratches and chips too.
7. “DIY Is Easy” – Half-true. Small panels? Sure. Full car? Pros save headaches.
8. “Wraps Peel Off in Rain” – No way. Proper adhesion laughs at weather.
9. “All Wraps Look the Same” – Wrong. Matte, gloss, chrome—endless options.
10. “Removal Ruins Everything” – Not with pros. Heat and skill leave paint pristine.

Expert Take: “People overestimate cost and underestimate protection,” says a veteran installer. Stop believing the hype—wrap smart.
