Default vinyl wrapping

i am just about to vinyl wrap pretty much my whole shell in the next week or so and wanted to know if anyone has had any problems cleaning it afterwards with a powerful jet wash? im quite happy to wash it down carefully by hand every time, i just dont wanna blast half the vinyl off the 1st time i come to clean it. has anyone had any problems doing this or is it fairly robust stuff?

Just had our vans vinyl wraped matt black at work... after washing we have to avoid sun light ( so our gaf says) as the temperature change makes it bubble. Personaly i think they used a back street vinyl wrap company. So im sure decent vinyl will be fine to wash!

I vinyl wrap for a living and you should have no problems washing it and no problems with the sun lol it will only peel if not on properly in cold weathers really cold weathers and yh try keep the pressure washers of the corners that will help 😀
