How Long Does a Vinyl Wrap Last in Texas Heat?

The honest lifespan

A professionally installed cast-vinyl wrap lasts about 5-7 years with care. Houston's UV and heat attack horizontal panels (hood, roof) first; garaging and pH-neutral washing protect the top end of that range.

Make it last

• Hand wash, pH-neutral soap; skip brush tunnels
• Garage or shade when possible — UV is the enemy
• Fix edge lifts early; they're cheap to correct and expensive to ignore

Wrap aftercare lives in the wrap guide; if you're weighing wrap vs paint longevity, that's this comparison.
