Shrink wrapping your car is a great way to
store it for the winter
or protect it during transportation transportation. Though you’re likely wondering how to shrink wrap your car yourself, we’d actually advise you have it done by a professional.
Having your classic car professionally shrink-wrapped for the winter will likely cost you around $12 to $25 per square foot. It may seem more cost-effective to just buy all the materials and wrap your car on your own, but consider the following risks if it’s not done correctly:
  • Your car could be accidentally damaged during wrapping
  • Incorrect wrapping can lead to condensation, corrosion, rodent infestation, and other damages.
A professional will have insurance to cover any mistakes, so you have a lot more protection letting a professional handle it rather than doing it yourself.
