Hi guys,
I'm planning to wrap my car. the car has some paint chipped about the size of a fist. What's the best option to clean the chip before wrapping over it?

peel/pick the edges as far as they go and then wetsand the edges down till you cant feel them. use a scrap piece of vinyl to check - matte black shows the outlines best, gloss colors as well.
this is how i did mine when i wrapped my car: front bumper pre wrap with chips front bumper done post wrap
zoom in to see the outlines

2000 is more than enough if you are planning to wrap over it.

You'll need to fill those chips with touch up paint and lightly before laying the vinyl. Vinyl wraps are very thin and have the ability to follow even the lightest contour so if there are flaws in the paint, they will show in the vinyl.
