That’s what makes 3M such a great company. Great knowledege.

This is the most accurate example of pre stretch I've seen on KZfaq so far the other two videos get it so so wrong.. Well done Cookie!

Coincidentally, I came across your video after trying to carbon wrap the mirror on my WHITE G8. I did exactly what you described, and had exactly the same result. Now I get to try again. THANKS.

I'm so glad I found this before I started on my mirrors. I was wondering how I was going to do this. Your vids are the best!!!

Nice work Cookie. Thanks for all the uploads Champion.

Excellent video !! Thank you sooo much ! Keep up the grea work 🙏🏾

THANKS FOR THE TIPS!!!! your channel has helped my shop alot! really thank you for the videos!

Cool idea. This however wouldnt work for the carbon mirror like you showed earlier in the video? Surely the patturn would distort? Thanks anyway :)

Can you make a video wrapping a mini cooper mirror where there is no flat surface

perfect video, im attempting it on my 2008 hsv ve clubsport same mirrors! 🤞

You know i am very bad at english but you tallk samply to me i will bay hitergun becoz i want tech it and iam apainter i want tray if this film make in wood or not

How do I tell if I have genuine wrap and not cheap contact which I made a mistake of buying once? I only needed a very small amount to wrap a motorcycle seat cowel. Also how do you cut the wrap without scratching the paintwork?

Thanks very much. This is very helpful !!

Thanks for the tip mate , gonna try on my oracal ^^

Great video, very helpful, thanks. I have a question re. your opinion on whether a Mercedes 2 slatted grille can be wrapped in one. I have a GLA. Thank you.

Very helpful info. Camera work not as good. As has been mentioned, does pre stretching distort textured wrap such as carbon fibre designs?

good job

Brilliant! Thanks for the tip.

could you adhere the film to the flat part of the mirror without pre stretching it and then stretch only the part of the film thats loose (going onto the curved top of the mirror) and then shrink it again to form around the complex contour? this would allow the front to be non stretched thicker material, and not under tension. maybe these factors aren't affected enough to matter I've never done a wrap. but i want to.

Can you do a video for wrapping around corners, like a fuse box or battery cover

Would this be the ideal process if you were wrapping an item like a goalie mask in a solid color?

Good tutorial, thank you!

What are some general dimensions for mirror wrapping. How big of a piece should I look at per mirror

This is a bit different to what i seen you do in a course recently? Have you come up with a better technique since this video?

Thank you for useful video.

Do you have to spray and prep the area before applying wrap? If so, what do you recommend?

Its was same way to wrap using 3m scotchprint carbon fibre? Was doing pre sretch but it was going up again on 3series side mirror

XLNT Cookie! thank you What about the slightly textured carbon fiber films?. i have 3m 1080 CF material i will using to rewrap the mirrors on my Lexus is300. I did them b4 with an inferior film as i learned the skill, & i did exactly as you describe, used heat and stretch to wrap the compound outer corner/curves..i do have a bit of puckering & i know i can do better. Will the stretch technique work the same as shown with the smooth vinyl in the video using the 1080 carbon fiber film? thanks

what if there's no edge to cut off the excess vinyl? like on an audi? the paint goes all the way to where the actual mirror is.

that was ridiculous good. tks mate +one sub :)

but over stretch can creat color fading on the material itself??

how do you calculate the dimensions you need for the mirror?

Wow, I would think this is an overstretch. How think will I be applying my vinyl :o/

absolutely love all your videos Cookie. I have a question. I own a 2003 BA Falcon Ute. I have purchased some wrap but I am concerned about how to tackle the back of the ute where the cover straps over the side onto the knobs. If that makes sense. These are riveted into the body on the sides and the tailgate. I hope to not have to remove them but is there an easy way you can suggest? Maybe make a video on it? :) Any help much appreciated.

I'm expecting that pre-stretching carbon fibre wrap would cause it to look fake because the lines of the 'fibre' would be a little squiggly. Small price to pay to have it stay on i guess.

What temp do you recommend to run the heat gun at? Also the mirror arm on my car ('13 Mazda 3 hatch) sticks out from the mirror cover. Would you recommend installing the wrap with the cover off the vehicle? As the film wants to just bridge the step instead of hugging to the mirror cover.

How does this work with a printed design or pattern?

Hey what exact red wrap is that? dark red?

good call !!

Do you off training courses ?

Thanks a bunch!

nice

wont this distort the pattern on a carbon fibre vinyl?

I just threw away 40$ worth of carbon fiber vinyl It was my first attempt. i with i watched this video first I used to big of a piece in the first place which was a waste.

can't hear it

That has helped very much.... do you do the same with the inside of the mirror... does it work the same... with the very difficult change in direction of the film??
