Vinyl Quality and Industry Standards

At SCS Unlimited, we use premium, high-performance vinyl specifically engineered for the extreme conditions of powersports.

Premium Materials

Material

We utilize industry-standard, multi-layered vinyl (typically 21 mil thick including laminate) which is designed for conformability over complex curves.

Adhesive Technology

The vinyl features a high-tack, pressure-activated adhesive. This technology is the gold standard in the wrap industry because it allows for repositioning during install but creates a permanent bond once firm pressure and heat are applied.

Installation Resources & Support

Need help with installation? We've got you covered with detailed guides, video tutorials, and expert tips.

Installation Videos

Watch step-by-step video guides to master your installation:

Note: The videos are created by end users. Installing vinyl is stylistic, and while many of these techniques can be performed by end users, the videos demonstrate just a few approaches. If you're unsure which method to use, contact your local wrap or sign experts for a professional install.

Pro Tips & Common Questions

Expert advice and answers to frequently asked questions:

Adhesion Troubleshooting

Stickers are falling off or lifting overnight usually points to a surface energy issue rather than a defect in the adhesive.

Chemical Contamination

Even if you cleaned your machine with isopropyl alcohol, previous use of silicone-based cleaners (like Maxima SC1 or other "new bike in a can" sprays) can cause major issues.

  • The Problem: Silicone leaves behind a microscopic, high-slip film that alcohol cannot fully strip.
  • The Result: This creates a "non-stick" surface that prevents the high-tack adhesive from ever reaching the plastic, causing the vinyl to lift as it cools.
  • Pro Tip: If you suspect silicone use, a more aggressive degreaser or specialized surface prep may be required before the final alcohol wipe.

    • Installation Temperature

    For the adhesive to set properly, both the shop and the machine's surface need to be at room temperature (ideally 65°F–75°F). If the plastic was cold during the install, or if the shop temperature dropped significantly overnight, the adhesive may not have reached its full chemical bond strength.
