Reason: Wraps are sensitive to the environment and Grand Junction can experience extreme weather. Even now, the desert can reach temperatures of 88 degrees in April and 100 degrees in May. These temperatures have the potential to bubble the wrap prior to it setting on the vehicle (within 48 hours of installation).
