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
