During our 10 hour drive down south to pick up a few new animals (and save my channel), I got a flat tire. Not a big deal on the surface, but we struggled to track down the right tire - then realizing I have to buy an entire new set. We got stranded in South Carolina, only to come back to a car that's in worse condition than it was left in at the shop!
Today, we argue with the tire shop, trying to get any reimbursement I can for the damage because I'm broke and also care about this car a lot :(

Vinyl wrapping cars is a lot more than just applying colorful film - the prep work is the majority of the time investment! Removing emblems, decals, stickers and PPF all have to be done in advanced, to make all surfaces are smooth. But most of these factory emblems come with a lot of glue, foam and residue left behind. I always saw people use Goo Gone or even just a heat gun, but that was always a huge pain for me.
So, after literal days and many tools, chemicals and scrapers tried, I finally acquired a combination of products that removes sticky stuff from cars without damage.
