This might seem a silly question....

....But, how secure are vinyls? I mean, can you use a strong hose/pressure washer on them? It's just I got the car dirty alot and it's cold outside to go wash it normally so I want to give it a quick do-over just to get the dirt off quick.

Only just got them so don't want them ruined already :neutral:

If they're decent quality mate then you'll be sound. If you get too close with the pressure washer then you'll damage them, but the same can be said for the laquer on your paint anyway.

You can buy stickers, or vinyl's that are designed to last a week, or forever.

And i guess the strength of them depends on which one you have bought!

Most car graphics are designed to last until you actually try and get them off.

But like roger said Icon_smile

A good pressure washer will bring them off.

So be careful!

Ah ok, will go round them carefully I guess. Means I can't take it to the drive through hand wash which I use sometimes on my way to work if I need to get it done quick as I often look like i've driven through a bush backwards :o

You can still take it to the drive through handwash mate, just as long as a pressure washer isn't concentrated on the vinyl for any particular amount of time it'll be sound.
