Powerjet System Technology

Designed for automotive professionals, APA's ultra-conformable cast films utilise advanced Powerjet technology, allowing our technicians to achieve superior adhesion on complex aerodynamic surfaces with zero tension.

PET Protective Liner

All APA Super High Gloss wraps are manufactured with a protective PET top-liner. This prevents installation scratches and guarantees a glass-like, mirror finish completely free of the "orange peel" effect found on older vinyls.

Engineered in Italy, APA vinyl provides high mechanical resistance against wear and tear, maintaining vibrant, unaltered colours even over dark vehicle paints. Includes Fire Reaction Certification B-S2-D0.

APA Wraps: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about transforming your vehicle with premium APA wrap vinyls at WRAPvehicles.

What makes APA vehicle wrap vinyl unique compared to other brands?

APA is a premium Italian manufacturer specialising in high-grade full cast vinyl. Unlike cheaper calendared vinyls, cast vinyl is created without tension, meaning it won't shrink or lift out of complex recesses. Furthermore, APA’s new Super High Gloss range offers a mirror-like finish with zero "orange peel", making it virtually indistinguishable from real automotive paint.

What is the difference between APA Ultra Jet and Power Jet systems?

Both are advanced adhesive technologies developed by APA. The Powerjet system offers incredibly fast application and superior mechanical resistance, allowing our technicians to achieve flawless, bubble-free installations that adhere strongly to deep recesses and rivets.

What finishes are available in the APA wrap vinyl range?

APA offers an industry-leading variety. This includes Extra Gloss with PET Protection, Extra Gloss Metal, Matte, Ultra Matte, Gemstone, Super Candy, Sparkle, and the highly exclusive "Paint Is Dead" Signature Collection.

Is APA wrap vinyl suitable for high-performance vehicles?

Yes, absolutely. APA vinyl features a Fire Reaction Certification (B-S2-D0) and incredibly high mechanical resistance. Its superior coverage and robust construction make it ideal for both everyday road use and premium customisation on high-performance supercars.

Can APA wrap vinyl be applied to dark vehicle surfaces without colour distortion?

Yes. APA vinyl is engineered with excellent opacity and coverage technology. Even if you apply a bright Gloss Signal Yellow (JP/995) over a pitch-black car, the vinyl will maintain its vibrant, unaltered colour without the dark paint bleeding through.

How long does an APA vehicle wrap last?

When professionally installed at our WRAPvehicles centre and maintained with correct aftercare (pH neutral washing, avoiding harsh brush car washes), an APA cast vinyl wrap will comfortably last 5 to 7 years in UK weather conditions.

Will removing the APA wrap damage my original paint?

No. Provided the vehicle has original OEM factory paint (or high-quality cured resprays), APA wraps are designed to be entirely removable. The adhesive leaves minimal residue, and the removal process will reveal your factory paint in the exact same condition it was in on the day the wrap was applied.
