At Xtreme Digital GraphiX, we get tons of questions about vinyl car graphics—everything from installation tips to how long our decals last. Whether you're customizing your ride for the first time or you're a seasoned modder, these FAQs will help you make confident, informed decisions about your vehicle's decals and wraps.
1. What are car graphics made of?
Our car printed graphics are made using high-quality Orafol Orajet vinyl with air-release technology for easy installation. We also laminate our decals with durable Oraguard film to protect against UV rays, weather, and scratches. As for the Vinyl Die cut decals we use the Orafol Oracal 651 vinyl which is great for side decal and is easy to install.
2. How long do car decals last?
With proper care, our printed vinyl decals can last up to 7–8 years. While the oracal 651 would last any where from 5-6 years. The lifespan depends on factors like exposure to sunlight, car washing methods, and weather conditions.
3. Are car decals easy to install?
Yes! most of our graphics come pre-masked with transfer tape and include a free installation squeegee. We also provide step-by-step instructions and video tutorials on our site to guide you through the process. car wraps are harder to install and can't be covered with installation mask. For wraps we recommend using a wrap installer.
4. Can I remove the graphics later?
Absolutely. All of vinyl graphics are easily removable with no damage to your vehicle paint. When you're ready to change up your look, you can peel off the decal using a heat gun or a blow dryer on hot setting to heat up the vinyl and remove it without damaging your vehicle’s paint. DO NOT JUST START PEELING THE VINYL WITHOUT HEATING IT FIRST , THAT COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR CLEAR COAT.
5. Can I order custom sizes or designs?

No. Our high-quality vinyl is safe for automotive surfaces and won’t damage OEM paint when properly applied and removed.
7. Do you ship internationally?
We ship across North America and to many international destinations, including the UK and Europe. Every decal is carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping.
8. What tools do I need to install the decal?
We include a squeegee tool with every order, Most decals come pre-masked for easy alignment. You’ll just need a clean surface, patience, and maybe a hairdryer for help with curves.
9. What’s the difference between cut vinyl and printed vinyl decals?
-
Cut vinyl decals are one-color designs cut from solid-color vinyl sheets—great for clean, bold looks.
-
Printed vinyl decals are full-color, digitally printed designs that allow for gradients, photos, and detailed images.
We offer both types depending on your style needs.
10. Can I apply decals in cold weather?
It's best to install vinyl graphics in temperatures above 10°C (50°F). Cold weather can affect adhesion, so consider waiting for warmer conditions or using a garage or heat gun to assist.
11. How do I care for my boat decals? Can I go boating right after installation?
No—it's important to wait at least 48 hours before putting your boat in the water after decal installation.
Boat decals, like our car graphics, are made with premium Oracal vinyl and adhesive. But even the best vinyl needs time to fully cure and bond to the surface. Exposure to water too soon—especially from lake or saltwater—can weaken the adhesive and cause peeling or bubbling.
