If I get this aluminum brightener on the wrap? I’m wanting to treat the top of the box on the sides but I’m hesitant. I got the bottom sides and I taped up the front of the box to get the upper part. I’m in no mood to tape the sides
Is it gonna screw up my wrap?

I think you might want to see what sort of acid it uses. If I had your motivation or the time, I’d use a rag dampened with it rather than spraying it willy-nilly all over that expensive wrap.
I did the rag method on it. I'm just worried if it starts running down the side, that it might make ugly lines. I tested a spot and it didn't do anything, but I'm just worried it might show up later

An alternative is to use oxalic acid slurry. Mix Barkeeper’s Friend with cornstarch to make a paste, wipe it on carefully and rinse it off in a few minutes.

Many years ago I had an older truck repainted and re-lettered. The metal looked dull and oxidized. I had and employee tell me it was easy and wouldn't damage the paint. I saw faint streaks on that truck for years. Maybe METAL ALL? It's a cotton webbing but even then I'd be concerned when it rains. ???

Hey Matt, how big is the box? Ours is 14 ft. with a liftgate , and with all the equipment and accessories we carry it couldn't be any less. I can't imagine working out of a van these days.

talk to guys who applied your wrap
them not knowing would be the equivalent of you asking a customer what prespray you should use

It’s a 8x10 box. You’re right, I don’t know if I could go back to anything smaller
I called them first. They told me they didn’t know
