Preparing a cargo van for lettering in Mount Olive
The bond starts with the panel, not the squeegee. Before a Mount Olive cargo van is lettered, the application areas need to be sound, dry and free of wax, silicone, road film and failing paint; vinyl cannot correct a weak surface underneath it.
Broad side panels and paired rear doors are inspected around body creases, handles, trim and camera hardware. Those are the places where contamination collects and where a shortcut in cleaning shows first as a lifted edge.
A normal wash is useful but not sufficient. Waxed wash products can leave a residue, so final preparation uses products intended for graphic application and fresh towels rather than whatever is already in the vehicle-cleaning cabinet.
Peeling clear coat, fresh bodywork and rust need a decision before the Mount Olive appointment. We can work around unsuitable areas, but covering them hides the warning without improving adhesion.
Mount Olive is served from Lombardo Lettering’s Chester base as part of Morris County, with this page focused specifically on surface preparation for a cargo van; the Morris County service page explains the wider coverage area.
