According to Wrap Guys, elevated temperatures and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can affect the durability and aesthetics of a car wrap. High temperatures can cause vinyl films to bubble, expand, or even fade over time. Even though the films have a UV protective layer that prevents these problems, regular maintenance is still essential to maintain the lifespan and high quality of your film.

This video was shared on August 6th. Since its publication, it has received more than 700,000 views. The video also has over 3,700 likes. Many people took to the comments section to share their reactions.

This is how people reacted:

Someone wrote: “Cheap glue on the back that gives off gases? Imagine the toxic crap that Chinese stuff you buy gives off when exposed to sunlight.”

Another Person X user, Nick, posted: “Yeah, I wouldn't want to pop it. You just don't know if it contains chemical gases or not.”

“Poor paint protection film packaging. Bubbles in the film expand when it gets too hot,” commented a third.

Someone else asked: “But do you have any idea how to deflate these bloated car wraps in an emergency?”
