Essay / My first car - Original writing - 2071
Vinyl wrap My name is Marco Soliman. I am 18 years old, an Egyptian citizen, and have been living in the United States for five years. I started loving cars and wanted to learn more about them when I started high school. I started wanting to own a car to modify it. I got my first car on my 15th birthday. I was so happy all of a sudden, a lot of ideas came to my mind about what I wanted to do with the car. I'm a car fan, I started to like cars a lot, it became "my favorite thing in life". What many people think is that it's stupid and just a joke. According to the “car people” of which I am a part, a car is not a car if it is standard. Running and working on cars became my habits. I joined Antioch High School, Automotive Tech. program in 2013, 11th grade. In my light maintenance/repair course, I mastered working on cars for three years, with the help of my teacher Muhlstadt. I am proficient in auto repair, electrical and alignment. One day as I was walking out of school towards my car, and as I got closer there was a big scratch on my front bumper, I wasn't feeling well at all at that time , but I went ahead and started looking for ways to fix the paint, I chose vinyl wrapping because it was the cheapest. I wrapped the whole bumper and it looked good, and I thought about why I didn't have it before, it would have protected my paint from that day. I had the idea of adding a layer of aluminum to the bottom of the vinyl sticker. Adding vinyl wraps to your car will cost you between $200 and $300. Yes, it's cheap because when your car gets scratched the paint peels off, it will cost at least $900 for a cheap repair and it still won't be as good as the original paint. Vinyl wrap is not too difficult to install or remove, the installation process will take you 4-6 hours, and you can do it yourself....... middle of paper . .....s, you can also get tinted vinyl stickers with whatever you like on them. Glass tints are applied differently than any other tint, and the way you apply them is to clean the glass as clean as possible, then put soap and water in a spray container and spray it onto the vinyl . tint the windshield or windows so it doesn't stick, then apply the vinyl tint to the glass and using a rubber, "you can really use any card you want." Push the water and soap between the glass and the vinyl tint, and when you are finished with all the tint applied, use a heat gun or "hair dryer" to dry the remaining soapy water. It is important that the glass tint is applied from the inside of the vehicle because, if applied to the exterior of the vehicle, it will be removed by wind and rain water, so applying the tint in vinyl inside your vehicle will last longer and look better.
