Vehicle wrap removal is the process of warming old vinyl graphics until the film releases, peeling it away at a low angle, then cleaning off leftover adhesive so the paint is ready to sell, return or re-wrap.
Why choose vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Bristol?
- After a business in Bristol changes hands, the new owners usually want the previous company's name and phone number off the vans.
- Vans leaving a Bristol business at the end of a lease usually need to go back clean, so book removal well ahead of the collection date.
- Selling a personal car in Bristol after a colour-change wrap? Taking the film off reveals the factory colour and means the V5C can be changed back.

Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Bristol: permission and rules
Removing graphics isn't usually a council matter. The point to watch is the V5C: if the wrap being removed changed the vehicle's main colour and DVLA was told at the time, update the colour back with DVLA and tell your insurer. Removing lettering or a part wrap over the original colour doesn't change the record. On a leased vehicle, check the return conditions for how graphics must be removed and how marks are charged. If the vehicle works on the highway, check whether your contract still needs Chapter 8 markings before they come off. These points are the same whether the vehicle is kept in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
