Hi.
About to put a tunnel wrap on an older sled that has an oxidized tunnel.
It was previously polished then sat in a trailer for 3 years.
I don’t want to be disappointed so looking for experience on how to clean/prep the aluminum before I apply vinyl. I did get the application Kit but figure some time cleaning the tunnel is likely smart.

Thanks in advance.

I would just wipe down well with isopropyl alcohol and stick away.

I would agree, or brake cleaner is easy to spray in tight corners. The beauty of a wrap is it hides stuff really well. I am no professional on the subject but did get a older tunnel wrapped successfully and had no issues.
