Good to know...I was under the (wrong) impression that I could just spray and wipe a wrap.

You can, but that's only if the dirt or dust is simply sitting on the surface. Once it's in there though, it's nearly impossible to get out. If you park your car inside, you should be totally fine.

To give you an idea of what can happen. And yes, that's a dick on my hood... That's what happens when you take your car to Coachella and your buddy thinks it'd be funny to draw in the dust

Good lord do you live in the middle east. Even the shittiest car I own has never been that dirty. May be your problem, not the wrap haha.

I live in West Los Angeles... this just happens when you leave your car outside (no space in garage) and the pollutants in the air get absorbed in the dew. Almost every morning i would come outside and there would be new spots. shit pissed me off.

also, car was washed weekly and wiped down with a microfiber regularly between washes

I believe there is a resin which you should rub into the wrap every 6 months to prevent any staining.

Haven't looked into it yet properly but I know people who have had wraps on for years and still look great
