Are Police Cars Wrapped?
Discussion
One of our pool cars is Ex Police, the battenberg was vinyl wrapped along the sides, and the the adhesive wasn't properly removed it's now formed a large line of road grime which won't come off.
Gone are the days of Plod buying 2 Mark 2 Escorts or Morris Minors, one in White and one in Pale blue and swapping the doors over!

The reflective material on emergency vehicles conforms to chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. hence we call it chapter 8 reflective, in the trade.

its not really a wrap, as it doesn't really conform to the shape of a car at all, it will do very shallow curves at most. which is why you will often see its fitted in panels with more extreme curves cutaway.
but yes its 'wapped' in a graphics essentally .
Another fun fact is to make the chevrons and battenburg its actually cut in the 2 separate colours the individual panels are then taped together. and fitted.

My experience is with boats but its the same material. as the cars and other vehicles
