Charleston's Vinyl vehicle business wrap install company Pleasant Details!

2011-10-04T10:38:00.001-07:00

Pleasant Details is your go to company in Charleston for vehicle business wraps! We have put some basic information together to help in your decision to determine whether a vinyl vehicle wrap is right for your business.

Car wraps have emerged as an affordable and effective alternative to traditional advertising. Instead of paying top dollar for a 30-second television commercial or a one-month highway billboard advertisement, you can purchase a solution that lasts for years for a fraction of the cost.

Vehicle advertising allows you to turn your car, van, or box truck into a moving billboard for your business. With an eye-catching design and detailed messaging, a vehicle wrap gives brand exposure to thousands of potential customers, whether you’re driving on the highway or parking in areas with heavy foot traffic.

The primary benefit of using car wraps is that they provide the lowest cost per impression of any advertising method. Both the American Trucking Association and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (a nonprofit group that tracks advertising statistics) indicate that vehicle wraps cost about $1 per thousand impressions (CPM). Compare that to $2 CPM for static billboards or $12 CPM for a one-day quarter-page newspaper ad, and it’s no wonder that the vehicle wrap industry is steadily growing.

This potential exposure for your business can be valuable, but it comes at a cost. Quality vehicle wraps start at $1,500 to $3,000 and can increase, depending on the size and model of the vehicle and the design you choose.

Pros
Significant exposure – According to studies from the Traffic Audit Bureau for Media Measurement (TAB), a vehicle wrap can generate 30,000 to 70,000 views per day.
Long-lasting – Applied wraps typically last three to five years, allowing you to get the most for your investment.
Protects finish – A wrap can help preserve a vehicle’s finish without hurting the resale value. Some customers even purchase one-color wraps in lieu of repainting their vehicles.
Easy removal/repair – A professional installer can cleanly remove a wrap and eliminate all traces of the installation. If you need to make changes to an existing wrap, the installer only needs to replace individual panels.
Exclusivity – Get the full benefits of advertising your business without sharing space with other advertisers (as you would with promotional mailers or rotating billboards).
No bidding process – You’ll have no competition with other businesses to advertise in prime locations.
Increased visibility for frequent drivers – Mobile advertising becomes increasingly more valuable for companies that put vehicles on the road frequently (such as delivery services or bus companies).
Vehicle wraps are printed on sheets of cast or calendered vinyl. The primary difference between the two vinyl wraps is durability. Cast vinyl is best for long-term use of 1 to 5 years; calendered vinyl is appropriate for short-term wraps lasting just 3 to 12 months.

Cast vinyl is a premium material that stretches easily to best conform to the vehicle’s surface. When brushed over with a clear laminate, cast vinyl provides a paint-like finish on cars, buses, and even boats.

In addition to increased flexibility, we prefer cast vinyl because the sheets don’t shrink much during manufacturing, and also because they maintain colors better during printing. However, cast vinyl wraps are considerably more expensive than calendered material and isn’t recommended if you need a vehicle wrap for less than a year.

Calendered vinyl has strong “memory” – it snaps back to its original form after being stretched. This means it doesn’t conform as well to vehicles. It’s also difficult to match colors. But calendered vinyl is much cheaper than cast material, and it can be produced in greater quantities. This makes it an acceptable solution for vinyl wraps lasting only a few months – especially if used on flat surfaces such as the side of a box truck – but not for long-term advertising.

Vinyl wrap methods
Pleasant Details offer different methods for wrapping your vehicle, depending on how much surface area you wish to cover.

Complete wrap – Covers the entire surface of the vehicle. Includes perforated window film (known as “window perfs”) that covers glass surfaces without impacting the driver’s visibility.
Half wrap – Covers half the sides of the vehicle and extends around the back. Half wraps may also include a logo for the hood.
Window graphics only – Graphics printed on window perfs.
Vinyl lettering/spot graphics only - A simple and inexpensive solution that may include 1 to 2 colors, a company logo, and/or a call to action on the side of the vehicle.
There are four main steps to creating vehicle wraps: designing, proofing, printing, and installing.

Designing
The design work is the longest part of the vehicle wrap process. It can take anywhere from 5 to 40 hours, depending on the complexity of the design and style of vehicle. Certain graphics may have to be specially cut and contoured to fit parts of the vehicle, which can take longer.

Proofing
Once the design is ready, we create an electronic or printed proof of the wrap. It’s important to carefully examine the proof for any mistakes you find and immediately note any changes you want made to the final wrap before printing. Any changes you have after the wrap goes into final production can delay turnaround and add significantly to your costs.

Printing
Pleasant Details prints the finished design on 48-to 60-inch-wide vinyl sheets using a large-format, solvent-based printer. These printers produce vehicle wraps and other signage at a very high resolution. Complete vehicle wraps are typically printed in multiple panels and carefully pieced together during installation.

After printing the wrap, we set it aside for a few hours to “gas out.” This prevents the vinyl from bubbling or wrinkling during application.

Installing
Before we can begin installing your wrap, your vehicle needs to be thoroughly cleaned so that the wrap will adhere properly. Taking it through a high-pressure car wash that uses powerful detergents should clean off most grime and debris.

Once cleaned, we carefully align the vinyl panels to ensure proper fit and applies them to the vehicle. The installer uses a small tool like a heat gun to stretch and reposition the vinyl, and a squeegee to eliminate imperfections. When finished, he may apply a UV-coated laminate to the surface to protect the wrap and provide a glossier finish. This process also makes the wrap easier to remove when you no longer need it.

It’s important to note that installers rely on sharp razors to manipulate the vinyl and remove excess material around door handles and crevices. Even with expert installers, there’s some potential for minor nicks and scratches to the surface.

Caring for your wrapped vehicle
To keep the wrap clean, hand wash the vehicle regularly with soap, water, and a clean rag. Avoid high-pressure or bristle-based car washes that could lift up or tear the wrap, as well as waxes that could remove the laminate or minimize the wrap’s adhesion.

Vehicle wrap shops typically provide straightforward pricing – either a rate per square foot or a fixed dollar amount for the entire project. With either pricing model, your car wrap prices should include the entire project: consultations, design work, materials, and installation.

Most shops typically charge $12 to $16 per square foot for cast vinyl material to wrap vehicles. Project complexity and total installation time dictates the total price. Simple installations on smooth, flat surfaces are less expensive, while vehicles with deep concaves or complex designs will push car wrap prices to the high end. Less expensive calendered vinyl costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.

Special requests – like rush delivery, proofs printed to the actual vinyl, or changes to the design post-proof – can add significantly to your total costs.

If a sign shop provides a flat rate for the complete wrap, the costs typically vary based on the size and type of vehicle:

Cars, compact SUVs – $2,000 to $3,000
Large SUVs, vans, box trucks, Hummers – $3,000 to $5,000
Buses, train cars, tractor trailers – $5,000 to $7,500
Vinyl lettering, spot graphics, window graphics only – $200 to $500
Note that the above prices are estimates for high-quality cast vinyl, which is best for vehicle wraps lasting one year or longer. If the vendor uses calender vinyl for shorter-term wraps, expect your costs to drop by 40% to 50%.

If you need to wrap five or more vehicles, most vendors will offer volume discounts of 10% to 15%. You’ll not only save money by wrapping multiple vehicles at once, but you’ll also keep the design and messaging constant for your entire fleet.

Window Tinting In Mt Pleasant, South Carolina At It's Best

2011-08-08T13:13:00.001-07:00

Pleasant Details in Charleston, South Carolina offering the best in ceramic films by Llumar.

AIR Blue dramatically reduces irreversible damage to human skin and vehicle interiors due to harmful ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) rays that penetrate ordinary window glass, while keeping the vehicle significantly cooler.
"While other films employ very dark tinting to achieve similar levels of solar energy rejection, AIR Blue’s color is light enough to meet visible light transmission laws for windscreens in most countries worldwide," said Rainer Bechtold, global category director, automotive, CPFilms. "With AIR Blue in place, the vehicle and its occupants will be shielded from the effects of solar radiation, and the cabin surfaces will be cooler as well."

Testing in harsh climates has demonstrated that installing AIR Blue film can keep a vehicle’s interior surfaces as much as 16 C (30 F) cooler when compared to an unprotected vehicle. This temperature reduction not only increases comfort, but it also reduces the use of a vehicle’s cooling system – helping to decrease fuel consumption. AIR Blue film also offers a high degree of optical clarity and low reflectivity, so it will not impede night driving vision.

"AIR Blue provides the ultimate in comfort and protection as well as an elegant look," said Lisa Winckler, director, product development and technology, CPFilms. "With the advanced electronic systems in today’s vehicles, it is imperative that a window film allow optimum performance at all frequencies. AIR Blue achieves this standard, ensuring no signal interference from popular devices such as radios, GPS, keyless entry, cell phones and navigation devices."

The unique technology used to produce AIR Blue (AIR80BLSRHPR) makes it the most state-of-the-art automotive film today. The film provides a proprietary non-metallized, non-conductive ceramic technology film with maximum heat rejection, maximum ultra-violet rejection, excellent optical clarity, and scratch- and corrosion-resistant properties.

LLumar® CTX™ Film Series. LLumar CTX Films utilize Ceramatrix™ Advanced Technology to provide superior UV absorption and heat rejection without blocking electronic signal transmissions."In a world filled with wireless devices such as GPS, mobile phones and satellite radio receivers, it’s more important than ever to ensure that automotive window films provide the highest possible protection without disabling connectivity," said Mark Gershenson, CPFilms’ Director of Product Marketing. "As part of the LLumar brand, our CTX Film Series is backed by more than 50 years of technology expertise and service. We are pleased to introduce this innovative new product that incorporates leading-edge technology to improve the performance of our signal enabling films."

Clear Paint Protection Shield for Cars and Trucks
Bugs, rocks, sand and other various road debris begin attacking your automobile the second it leaves the showroom floor. They chip way through the clear coat and paint, leaving your car helpless against daily driving conditions. Until recently, the only practical solution to these problems were vinyl/leather car bras that offer poor coverage and often cause as much damage as they prevent. Now, let’s meet the solution: Clear Film for Cars by Avery Dennison.

Our Paint Protection Clear Bra Film: Nano-Fusion by Avery Dennison™
Our Avery Dennison Nano-Fusion Film™ provides a barrier for your paint’s surface against harsh, environmental elements and everyday wear. Stone chips, road debris, bug acid and abrasion decrease the value of your automobile. Unlike using a leather car bra, our clear film remains invisible, allowing your vehicle’s aesthetics to shine through.

Nano-Fusion™ clear film is noted for its extreme ease of installation, superior clarity, and high gloss. Approved and used by Automotive OEM’s, these flexible films provide good resistance to the damaging effects of U.V., while allowing the brilliance of the automotive finish to come through.

Key features:

U.V. inhibitors to resist discoloration and cracking
Precision computer-cut designs
Protects against smudges & abrasions
OEM Approved
Limited lifetime warranty

Pleasant Details was started in 2002 by John Ritenour as a mobile detailing company with one trailer and one employee that quickly grew to five units, eight employees and a physical location.

Pleasant as a partner to help take the company to the next level. James Gregorie brings knowledge of the self serve car wash industry along with management and leadership skills that he developed in the U.S. Marine Corps. With John and James working together they transformed a good business into a more focused business concentrating on existing clients and organizing our business model. New goals included a having smaller staff of skilled detailers, offering window tinting, adding clear bra paint protection, expanding local involvement with community events, and continuing to treat our clients better than anyone else.

More Paint Protection Installs in Charleston at Pleasant Details!

2010-08-17T06:46:00.000-07:00

Pleasant Details is pounding out the Clearbra installs in Charleston! We are very happy with our new partnership with Xpel Technologies Paint Protection. We have been having fun using the best software system on the market for cutting patterns. We just wrapped a full front on a Corvette Z06 which means we covered every inch of the paint from the mirrors forward! We even wrapped the edges on the hood and fenders and removed/replaced all emblems for a clean install! You really have to see it in person to appreciate how great it looks! Well you can, The customer is letting us use the vehicle for an upcoming Corvette show in Charleston. We will keep you posted on the details.

We recently applied a clearbra kit on 2010 VW GTI coupe that was white in color. We installed a bikini cut design that flows with the contours of the hood for a sleek install. Car is perfect and his friend was so impressed he wants a kit installed on his Honda coupe.

We have a few videos and installs to post so keep checking in for updates. Feel free to call for more information on ppf or a free demo.

Water Damage Removal And Odor Control In Cars

2010-07-29T05:21:00.000-07:00

Flood damage can do a great deal of harm to your car--not only to the engine, but also to the car's interior, particularly the carpets. Stained, smelly car carpets can not only be unpleasant to live with, but may also signal the presence of mold that can have serious health consequences.

Tips & Warnings
If the flood damage was severe, you may need to replace the carpet and padding, as a serious case of mold is hard to eradicate (and a serious health hazard).

Customer's Experience:
"Or son's car seats were used as a litter box at a garage when they left the windows down while it was there being repaired. We thought we had resolved the problem after cleaning the upholstery, but once we rolled up the windows and the car sat in the hot sun down here in Charleston, NOTHING had changed. We finally found Pleasant Details who used a liquid enzyme product that they actually sprayed and even soaked into the foam of the seats. (they took the seats out to do this) Anyhow - It worked! Every trace of the cat urine smell was removed. I would think it would do the same for a mildew or mold smell.Pleasant Details in Mt Pleasant sells the liquid for the diy type. Hopefully they can help you as much as they helped us with our odor problem. Good luck!"

Odor problems can become a serious issue from small accidents such as spilled milk, excess water, animal urine, and food between seats.

Be aware of afternoon showers and don't forget to close the sunroof before you go to bed!

Please feel free to call if you ever have questions about water damage or odors in your car.

We wanted to let everybody know what we have been doing this spring. It's been fun, but this pollen is driving us crazy. We just finished an event with Mercedes at the local Sprinter Plant in Ladson. We helped detail and maintain vans for the annual sprinter catalog. It was a lot of work but something different from the average car. Be sure to check out some of the photos from the event and other cars we've done lately.

Did your car get caught in the downtown flood? And now your car is flooded and has water damage?

2009-12-18T19:30:00.000-08:00

Heavy Rain and high tide in downtown are two things that are a recipe for disaster. Every year Pleasant Details gets calls about cars that have water damage from flooding in downtown Charleston SC. Many people have no idea how much water is in their vehicle. If you have standing water in the floorboards than you could have 5-15 gallons of water in your car. The padding under your carpet can hold a lot of water and takes a long time to dry on its own, thus becoming a breeding ground for mold and mildew. After a few days your car will begin to smell and will only get worse unless treated.
Pleasant Details has experience with water removal from cars and does it for a fair price. Our price range from $150-$300 on average unless the entire carpet has to be replaced. In most cases we remove your seats and carpet and separate the padding. We then Steam the carpet, clean all interior surfaces with a anti-mold agent and insert new padding. Before the process is complete, we run a dehumidifier and ozone machine to dry and remove any odor. The cleaning takes between 1-3 days on average, and your car is back to new!
We are easy to work with and are happy to take a look at any damage for free and explore your options. we accept insurance claims, and try to help those who are on a budget, but really need our service. We understand these things happen, but its not the end of the world. Give us a call and let us take the worry out of getting things back to normal.

Month Of May

Pleasant Details is excited to introduce the first organic waterless car wash service to the Lowcountry. We will also be launching our own eco-friendly product line that will be available to the consumer for personal use. The line of products will consist of our all natural plant based Original formula, our Ultra, enhanced with wax for those cars that need a little more care or protection, and our UV Shine a plant based formula that can be used on tires, leather, dash, trim, etc, without leaving a slimy film.

Pleasant Details will be offering the waterless car wash as a service, and details can be found at our website http://www.wewash4u.com/ . Of

course we will still be offering all the great services you have come to enjoy. We recently updated our carpet cleaning machines to provide excellent interior cleaning for those really dirty cars. Steam cleaning is still our primary carpet cleaning process for regular details due to the quick drying times.

We are currently serving the East Cooper area as well as Charleston, West Ashley, James Island, Folly Beach, and parts of the Greater Charleston area with a minimum service requirement. All our vans are fully equipped with water and electricity to provide service at your home or office! For a complete list of our prices and services please visit http://www.pleasantdetails.com/ . The majority of our business is retail service, but we are available for fundraisers, dealerships, overspray removal, and flood damage removal. We can even come to your office on set days to wash cars for employees, ranging from 2 to 50 or more cars! We will be offering special pricing for waterless exterior washes only on groups of 10 or more this summer.

Our primary focus is still complete detailing and interior or exterior services. We will be expanding this summer to accommodate for regular maintenance services to better serve our regular clients. The cost of gas however could have an effect on these services due to the high cost of traveling around for a $25 wash. Please feel free to call or email us if you have any questions regarding our services. Call today to schedule an appointment! 843-568-0247
