Arlon SLX+, 3220 matte, cleaning issues

[laneygraphics]

Have done a work truck and enclosed trailer with slx+, laminated with 3220 matte, for a lawn sprinkler install company. They are having issues with keeping it clean, i havent seen them in person but they said its like mud/handprints are embedded in the wrap and dont come off with general cleaning. Wanted to check if this is an issue for anyone else? first time using the slx+/3220 combo, was that a poor choice? Also any tips for cleaners that i can try to clean it up for them, and should it need to be ceramic coated or something to help? Still new to vehicle wraps and want to make sure i havent made some mistake on choice or install. Thanks for any advice.

It's because it's matte. Use gloss on vehicles

Have them get some simple green and clean the areas with that. We have clients use it before a wash to clean bugs and tar and random shit off.
You can dilute it 50-50 and use it for general cleaning without rinsing it off afterwards. That works good for water spots and hand prints between washes. But matte is just a PITA keeping it clean.

We always suggest having it ceramic coated. It’s a great upsell for you and it helps a ton with matte wraps. We do a lot of Utv wraps and keeps the customer from using a pressure washer too heavily. If you need a supplier for ceramic, we have found an awesome product. Hit me up if you want some info.

Arlon 3270 Gloss laminate would be a better choice. SLX+ is awesome vinyl.

Matte cleans up surprisingly well with Windex or Simple Green.

I have never put a ceramic coating on Matter laminate, but I see someone else recommends. Will have to try that.

I will have them try simple green and see how that works, I offered gloss and satin as an option but they wanted to go with the matte finish, might have to change course on their next vehicle and see if they like that more.
