Vinyl does not last forever. Sun, heat and winter grit break it down over the years, and a wrap left on well past its life turns brittle. Newer vinyl usually releases in large sheets with a little heat. Old, sun baked vinyl can crack into small pieces and leave more adhesive behind, which turns a simple job into a slow one. Pulling a wrap before it reaches that point saves time and is kinder to the paint.
Removal takes heat, patience and a low angle of pull, followed by cleaning off any leftover adhesive so the surface is ready for new film or for the road as is. Paint that was resprayed or was already failing can lift along with the vinyl, so its condition gets checked before any film comes off.
Care is simpler than most people expect. Hand wash with a pH neutral soap, skip brush style automatic washes, keep pressure washer tips well back from edges and seams, and clean off fuel spills, bird droppings and bug residue soon, since they can stain the film if left to sit. Through the winter, rinsing off road salt and sand on a regular schedule helps the vinyl as much as it helps bare paint.

Cracking, heavy fading, edges that keep lifting, or film that feels chalky all say it is near the end. Removing it then is faster than waiting until it breaks apart in small pieces.
Touchless washes are gentler than brush washes, but hand washing is still best. Right after an install, stay out of any wash for the time you are given while the adhesive sets.
