What can be wrapped in chrome delete

Chrome delete means wrapping chrome car parts in film. Most often we cover:

  • trims around the side windows
  • the grille or its chrome frame
  • emblems and lettering on the boot lid
  • mirror caps
  • roof rails

You choose the scope: from a few trims to all the chrome on the car. What to wrap and what it costs we decide at the car, during the free inspection at the studio at ul. Powstańców 20.

Choosing the film

For chrome delete we use the same films as for full colour change. You choose the finish:

Gloss
closest to paint, and the easiest to keep clean
Satin
semi-gloss without harsh reflections in the sun
Matte
a surface without reflections; washed by hand, no polishing or wax
Carbon
carbon fibre weave, looks good on mirrors and small details

At the inspection we hold film samples against the car, so you can see the film next to the paint.

Aftercare

  • Wash the car by hand, with a soft mitt and a pH-neutral shampoo.
  • Avoid brush car washes: brushes scratch the film and can lift its edges.
  • Don’t apply solvents, degreasers or strong wheel cleaners to the wrapped parts.
  • Wash off bird droppings and insects straight away, as they shorten the film’s life the most.
  • Don’t polish or wax matte film.

Chrome delete and leasing return

A leased car belongs to the finance company. Under Art. 709¹⁰ of the Civil Code you may not modify the car without its consent, so ask the leasing company for permission for chrome delete before wrapping, in writing or by email.

Before the car is returned we remove the film, and the factory chrome underneath is intact. For what else matters at return, we described it in the article on returning a leased car.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a chrome delete cost?

From 500 zł net. The final price depends on how many parts we wrap and which film you choose, so we quote after seeing the car. The inspection and the quote are free. Prices for our other services are on the services page.

Is a chrome delete legal in Poland?

Yes. The body colour stays the same, and the Polish registration certificate (dowód rejestracyjny) has no colour field anyway, so there is nothing to report. On foreign plates your home country’s rules apply, and a chrome delete leaves the main colour of the car unchanged. A leased car needs the leasing company’s consent. Details and sources: changing your car’s colour in Poland.

Can the film be removed after a chrome delete?

Yes. The film peels off, and the factory chrome underneath is not damaged. On leased cars, for example, it comes off before the car goes back.

How long does chrome delete film last?

It depends on the film and on how the car is used: how much sun it gets and how it is washed. Bird droppings and insects left on the film shorten its life the most. At the inspection we’ll tell you what to expect from the film you pick.

Can I do a chrome delete on a leased car?

Yes, with the leasing company’s consent (Article 709¹⁰ of the Polish Civil Code). Get it in writing or by email before the wrap. We remove the film before you return the car.
