Summit Wraps & Graphics handles professional vehicle wrap removal at our Lehi and Springville shops. Clean removal that protects your factory paint. Remove old wraps, prepare for a re-wrap, or restore your vehicle's original finish. Full removal from $500.
DIY wrap removal looks easy on YouTube. In reality, wrong technique or too much heat damages paint, leaves adhesive residue, and costs more to fix than professional removal costs in the first place.
We use calibrated heat guns and infrared thermometers to keep the vinyl at the exact temperature needed for clean release. Too cold and the vinyl tears into pieces. Too hot and the adhesive bakes into the clear coat. There's a narrow window, and we hit it every time.
Even perfect removal leaves some adhesive residue, especially on older wraps. We use automotive-safe solvents and clay bar treatment to remove every trace without damaging the clear coat. Your paint comes out clean and ready for whatever's next.
After removal, we inspect the entire surface for any issues that were hidden under the wrap -- chips, scratches, or areas where the clear coat may need attention. You'll know the exact condition of your paint before deciding on next steps.
If you're removing an old wrap to put on a new one, professional removal ensures the surface is perfectly clean and ready for new vinyl. Poor removal that leaves residue or micro-scratches means your new wrap won't adhere properly and won't last as long.
We inspect the current wrap condition, age, and vinyl type to determine the best removal approach. Older wraps or wraps with heavy UV exposure require different technique than newer installs.
Every panel is heated to the optimal temperature and pulled at the correct angle to release cleanly in large sheets. No gouging, no scraping, no paint damage.
Automotive-safe solvents dissolve remaining adhesive. Clay bar treatment removes microscopic residue. The surface is left completely clean.
Full surface inspection under proper lighting to confirm clean removal. Your vehicle gets a hand wash before it leaves the shop.
Wraps past 5-7 years start cracking, peeling at edges, and fading. The adhesive also gets harder to remove cleanly the longer it sits. Don't wait until the wrap is falling apart -- the removal gets more expensive the longer you wait.
If your wrap has tears, scratches, or sections peeling from an accident or road debris, it's time. Damaged vinyl lets moisture under the surface which can cause issues with the paint or adhesive.
New logo, new colors, new business name? The old wrap needs to come off cleanly before the new design goes on. We handle both removal and re-wrap, and you save 10% on the new wrap when you bundle.
Returning a leased vehicle? The wrap needs to come off and the paint needs to look factory. Professional removal ensures you pass inspection and avoid damage charges from the dealer.
Pricing includes vinyl removal, adhesive cleanup, surface inspection, and a hand wash. No hidden fees.
Pricing depends on vehicle size, wrap age, and condition. Wraps older than 7 years or with heavy UV damage may cost more due to additional labor. See our full pricing guide.

Full vehicle wrap removal costs $500 to $1,500 depending on vehicle size and how old the wrap is. Partial removal (one panel or section) runs $300 to $800. If you're removing and getting a new wrap, we offer a 10% discount on the new wrap. Every quote includes adhesive cleanup and a hand wash.
Not when done professionally. We use controlled heat and proper technique to remove vinyl without damaging the factory paint underneath. DIY removal with the wrong tools or too much heat can cause paint damage, which is why professional removal is worth the investment.
Most full vehicle wrap removals take 1 to 2 days. Partial removals can often be completed same-day. Older wraps that have been on for 7+ years or wraps exposed to heavy UV damage may take longer because the adhesive is harder to release cleanly.
You should remove your wrap when it starts cracking, peeling, or fading (typically after 5-7 years), when you're rebranding your business, when returning a leased vehicle, or when you want to restore the factory finish. Removing a wrap before the adhesive degrades makes the process faster and cleaner.
You can, but we don't recommend it. DIY removal risks paint damage from improper heat gun use, adhesive residue that requires chemical solvents, and hours of frustrating labor. Professional removal costs $500-$1,500 and guarantees your paint comes out clean. The cost of fixing damaged paint far exceeds the cost of professional removal.
