How not to wrap part 2! with further questions...
Right, part 2.... just about got the hang of it and on the car it'd look fine but as i'm a bugger for fine details can anyone tell me how
i'd be able to sort these bits out or what do I need to do to stop them.
Where it goes around the panel on corners whats the best method to get a nice edge? Would a hair dryer help at any point? How can I get rid of the
small bubble on there corner?
Any other tips/comments/abuse most welcome!

I had the front end of my Elise wrapped (protective film) and the guy that did it just used liquid/water mix and then squeezed it out with a tool
(credit card looking).
Some really strange shapes and edges and not one bubble!
Have you been using the liquid as suggested in the first thread?

yes use a hair dryer on the awkward bits.
when i used to apply the big emblems on a new bike panel we were told to use water and a splash of fairy liquid but on the awkward bits we still had
to use the hair dryer

Yep, used a water spray with a tiny amount of washing up liquid and a proper applicator thing. I *think* I trapped water/air as I folded the wrap
over the rear of the panel.
Much better than my first effort though! I want to perfect the ends/curves before buying some more and attacking the sides

use a pin and a hairdryer to get rid of any bubbles. You won't see the pinhole once done. My efforts have looked worse than that and it was
repaired by the above technique.

Get a plant spray bottle thing, a bit of washing up liquid and water.
Spray both surfaces so it can move about a bit.
Use a clean, new leather over a credit card (or similar) and wet leather.
Start from centre and work outwards.
Use a hand dryer for tight area's but be carefull you dont melt or warp the wrap.
If any bubbles are present after this, use a pin to prick the bubbles and push air out with the leather/credit card.
Done
