As we mentioned in Part I, wrinkles might appear during the process of car wrapping with 3M printable wrap film. If by any chance, you skip this phase and continue with the application, those wrinkles will grow bigger. That is why, while there are still little, you should use the hot air gun. The heat will help the car wrap printing film take the form of the surface and remove the wrinkles.
