Remove Loose or Damaged Parts: 

Any parts that are loose or damaged should be removed or repaired. This includes rust, chipped paint, or broken parts that might interfere with the wrap installation.

Notify Us of Any Damage: 

Please inform us of any existing damage or areas of concern on the vehicle’s exterior. This helps us take extra care during installation and ensures the best results. If, during the initial walkthru of the vehicle, we find these items, this could cause a delay on installation or a requirement to reschedule.  Please inform us as soon as possible.  

Allocate Sufficient Time: 

Vehicle wrap installations can take time, and it’s important that we are not rushed. Ensure your vehicle is available for the duration of the installation process or longer.  Also understand that during installation, as a custom wrap, errors and issues can arise, so please be aware of unforeseen potentials. 

Prepare for Aftercare: 

Post-installation, the vehicle wrap will need time to cure. We will provide you with aftercare instructions, but it’s beneficial to familiarize yourself with best practices for maintaining your wrap, such as avoiding high-pressure washes.

Arrange for Transportation: 

Since your vehicle will be out of commission during the installation, make sure you have arranged for alternative transportation. Please remember it's important not to rush the installation process. 

Remove Personal Belongings: 

Clear out any personal belongings from the vehicle, especially if the interior needs to be accessed during installation.

Along with the preparation of the vehicle that will be wrapped, it's important to understand if Clifford Signs team members are installing at your site, please ensure the below are met.  

If there is an issue with any of these, please inform your consultant so it can be reviewed with the installation team prior to scheduling.  

Installation site:

1. Clean of dirt and debris.

   • If we are installing at your location, or a location away from Clifford Signs, it is imperative that the are be clean of dirt and debris.  Our installation requires a clean area to ensure proper adhesion for the vinyl.  If a clean environment isn't provided, our team members will take pictures, note the conditions and a hold will be put on the job.  Additional charges could incur due to the delay.

2. Space allowed for movement, minimum 6'

   • Space...a requirement to effectively install any vinyl.  This is required on each side of the vehicle.  The minimum of 6ft. Allows our team members to set up equipment, transfer film, prepare for the panels.  This is a requirement and if not allowed, we will put a hold on the project until this can be provided.  

3. Accessibility within normal working hours

   • Accessibility... Clifford Signs team members work between 8am - 5pm and our team members must have accessibility within those hours for your install.  Other arrangements could be requested needed for early or late accessibility. 

Accessibility:

• Clear the Area: Make sure the installation site is free from obstacles. If the sign is going on a wall, the area should be easily accessible.

• Parking Space: Reserve a parking spot for the installation vehicle, especially if the site is in a busy area.

Site Preparation:

• Surface Check: If the signage is going on a wall or other structure, ensure the surface is in good condition, stable, and clean.

• Landscaping: Trim any trees or bushes that might obstruct the installation process.

Electricity (If Applicable):

• Power Source: Ensure there is a working power source within 5 ft. of the installation site if your signage requires electricity.

Communication:

• Point of Contact: Assign a specific person from your team to be available during the installation. This person should have decision-making authority and knowledge about the project.

• Contact Information: Share the contact details of your on-site person with your sign consultant prior to install day. 

 Safety:

• Safe Zone: During install, a safety perimeter will go around the installation area to protect both workers and bystanders. Our team will set this up.  

• Notify Staff and Visitors: Make sure everyone in the vicinity is aware that installation will be taking place and knows to avoid the area.

• Entrances: If this installation is above a main entry, please reroute traffic if possible.  If not possible, contact your sign consultant to plan accordingly.

Post-Installation:

• Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the signage after installation to ensure everything is in place and functioning as it should.
