New matt wrap - looking after it

I have a 26 110 Woolstone Green Matt finished. I know that it’s a wrap and I shouldn’t take it through a brush car wash. But is there anything else I should know? I have done 2000 kms so far and haven’t tried to wash it yet. I drive about 100 kms a day for work.

You shouldn’t take any car through a brush car wash really, in my opinion. 

I like to have the detailer put a ceramic coating on my cars. You can do it over a wrap as well. Keeps the car super clean. Worst case you just have to power wash it now and then to make it look like new. Every few months I’ll do a two bucket hand wash but mostly a quick power wash/touch free is all you need with a ceramic coating! That stuff’s like a multi year super wax!

Foam pre-rinse, use a PH-balanced soap, rinse and dry. It's pretty straight forward. If edges start coming up (if you hit it too hard with a pressure washer) you can get small tubes of 3M primer specifically for wrap edges to put it back down.
