Self-Adhesive Collision Wrap - 2.5 Mil Blue Tinted High Tack | Privacy Film for Salvage Yards & Towing Companies | Multiple Sizes Available
Product Overview
Protect damaged vehicles while maintaining privacy with Detail Direct's professional-grade blue tinted self-adhesive collision wrap. This 2.5 mil high-tack crash wrap is specifically designed for salvage yards, towing companies, and applications where privacy is essential.
This coextruded self-adhering plastic film features an ultra high-tack, water-based acrylic adhesive that bonds securely to glass, metal, and plastic surfaces—even on extremely dirty vehicles.

Available in three convenient sizes to meet your specific needs: 24" x 100' for smaller repairs and side windows, 36" x 100' for full windshield coverage and moderate use, and 36" x 200' for high-volume operations and best value.

Who Uses Blue Tinted Collision Wrap?
Salvage Yards & Auto Recyclers
The preferred choice for salvage operations. The ultra high-tack adhesive bonds to dirty vehicles fresh from accidents, while the blue tint provides privacy and conceals vehicle interiors in outdoor storage lots. Perfect for long-term storage of damaged vehicles awaiting processing.
Towing Companies
Strong enough for the dirtiest towing jobs. Apply immediately at accident scenes without cleaning. The ultra high-tack adhesive grips wet, dusty, or muddy surfaces. Blue tint conceals damaged interiors during transport through neighborhoods and public areas.
Auto Auctions
Maintain privacy for auction inventory while protecting interiors from weather. The blue tint prevents casual inspection while vehicles await auction dates, and the 90-day rating handles extended storage periods.
Insurance Salvage Operations

Why Choose Blue Tinted Collision Wrap?
Ultra High-Tack Adhesive for Dirty Surfaces
The blue tinted version features our strongest ultra high-tack adhesive specifically formulated for salvage yard and towing applications. Unlike our clear version designed for clean body shop environments, this blue tinted film is engineered to bond to:
- Dusty and dirty accident vehicles
- Wet or damp surfaces
- Vehicles with surface contamination
- Cars fresh from outdoor incidents
- Surfaces that haven't been cleaned
Privacy Protection
This is a blue tinted film which is the ideal choice when you do not want to be able to see into or out of the vehicle. Perfect for:
- Maintaining privacy in salvage operations
- Concealing damaged interiors from public view
- Preventing casual inspection or theft
- Professional appearance in storage facilities
- Blocking sunlight from deteriorating interiors
Coextruded Multi-Layer Construction
Our coextruded (COEX) film is constructed from multiple layers laminated together for maximum strength, durability, and puncture-resistance. Competing monolayer products constructed from just 1 layer are inferior to coextruded films and tear easily during application on rough or damaged surfaces.
Perfect Sizes for Every Application
We offer three size options to maximize efficiency and minimize waste:
24" x 100' Roll
- Perfect for side door windows (typically 20-22" tall)
- Quarter windows and smaller damaged areas
- Partial vehicle coverage
- Moderate-use operations
- Easier handling and storage
- Reduces waste for smaller jobs
36" x 100' Roll
- Ideal for full windshields (typically 30-36" tall)
- Larger window openings
- Complete door coverage
- Balanced size for regular use
- Good value for moderate volume
36" x 200' Roll - Best Value
- Most economical per-foot pricing
- High-volume salvage operations

- Ships in one box (vs. two 100' rolls)
- Bulk savings for busy facilities
- Less packaging waste

How to Apply Blue Tinted Collision Wrap
Before You Begin
- Tools needed: Utility knife or sharp blade
- Surface prep: Works on dirty surfaces (ultra high-tack adhesive)
- Application: One person can easily apply this film
- Width note: 24" covers most side windows perfectly
Step-by-Step Application Instructions
Step 1: Choose Your Size
Select the appropriate width for your application:
- 24" width - Side windows, quarter windows, smaller areas
- 36" width - Full windshields, larger openings, complete coverage
Choose the length based on your volume needs:
- 100' rolls - Moderate use, easier storage
- 200' rolls - High volume, best per-foot value
Step 2: Assess the Coverage Area
Measure the damaged area to determine coverage needs. For openings wider than your roll, plan to use overlapping rows.
Step 3: Pull One End to Start
Unroll enough wrap to cover the damaged area with 3-4 inches of overlap on all edges. The film is not perforated—quickly cut to size with a utility knife or sharp blade.
Step 4: Position and Apply
Starting from one edge, position the blue tinted film over the damaged area. The ultra high-tack self-adhering adhesive on one side securely holds the film in place even on dirty surfaces. Press firmly, smoothing out air bubbles as you work.
Step 5: Overlap for Larger Areas
If the damage is wider than your roll width, start at the bottom section of the damaged area. Apply the wrap as directed above. Then start a new row at the beginning of the first one, overlapping by a few inches for complete coverage and privacy.
Step 6: Seal All Edges
Ensure all edges are pressed down firmly to create a weather-tight seal and prevent wind lift. The ultra high-tack adhesive creates a strong bond.
Step 7: Trim Excess
Cut away any excess material for a clean, professional appearance.
Pro Tips for Salvage & Towing Applications
- No cleaning required: The ultra high-tack adhesive works on dirty vehicles
- Apply quickly: Faster application at accident scenes or salvage intake
- Overlap generously: Extra overlap ensures privacy and weather protection
- Use on rough surfaces: Adheres to damaged or contaminated areas
Removal Instructions
Pull one end to start. Remove it completely with little effort. The water-based acrylic adhesive is designed for clean removal and does not leave glue residue behind when used within the 90-day rating period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between blue tinted and clear collision wrap?
A: Blue tinted film provides privacy by preventing visibility into or out of the vehicle, making it ideal for salvage yards and towing. It also features ultra high-tack adhesive for extremely dirty surfaces. Clear film allows visibility for inspection and driving but has slightly less aggressive adhesive suited for cleaner body shop environments.
Q: Will the ultra high-tack adhesive work on dirty vehicles?
A: Yes! This is specifically designed for salvage yard and towing applications where vehicles are dirty from accidents. The ultra high-tack adhesive bonds to dusty, wet, or contaminated surfaces that would defeat standard adhesives.
Q: Can you drive a vehicle with blue tinted wrap applied?
A: Visibility is limited through the blue tint. While the film can withstand vehicle movement and towing, it's not recommended for areas that require driver visibility. Use clear wrap for windshields if the vehicle needs to be driven. Blue tint is perfect for side and rear windows.
Q: Is 24 inches wide enough for most applications?
A: The 24-inch width is perfect for side windows, quarter windows, and smaller damaged areas. Most vehicle side door windows are 20-22 inches tall, making this size ideal. For full windshields (typically 30-48 inches), use our 36-inch wide options which provide complete coverage without seams.
Q: What's the advantage of the 200-foot rolls?
A: The 36" x 200' rolls are the most economical choice when large quantities are required. You get discounted per-foot pricing plus shipping cost savings—one larger roll requires only one box, as opposed to two individual 100' rolls which each require their own box. High-volume operations save significantly with the 200' size.
Q: Which size should I choose?
A: Choose based on your typical applications:
- 24" x 100' - Best for towing companies doing mostly side windows and smaller repairs
- 36" x 100' - Ideal for salvage yards with mixed damage sizes and moderate volume
- 36" x 200' - Best value for high-volume salvage operations, auctions, or busy towing companies
Q: How long will this stay in place outdoors?
A: Our blue tinted collision wrap is rated for up to 3 months (90 days) of use. The ultra high-tack adhesive and coextruded construction withstand outdoor storage, sun exposure, rain, and temperature variations throughout the rated period.
Q: Does it leave residue like duct tape?
A: No. Our film is manufactured with an environmentally friendly water-based acrylic "cross-linked" adhesive that is anchored into the film, so that the film stays in place yet can be easily removed without leaving any residue behind when removed within the 90-day period.
Q: Is the blue tint UV-rated?
A: Yes. The film is rated for 90-day outdoor use and resists UV degradation. The blue tint also helps block harmful sunlight from further deteriorating vehicle interiors during storage.
Q: What makes the adhesive "anchored" into the film?
A: Unlike cheaper products where adhesive is simply coated on top, our cross-linked adhesive is anchored (chemically bonded) into the film structure during manufacturing. This prevents the adhesive from separating and leaving residue, while maintaining strong holding power.
Q: Can I use this in freezing temperatures?
A: The adhesive works best when applied at temperatures above 40°F. For cold weather applications, warm the film slightly before application. Once applied, it will withstand freezing temperatures during the storage period.
Q: Why is this 2.5 mil instead of 3 mil like the clear version?
A: The 2.5 mil thickness is optimized for flexibility and conformability to damaged, uneven surfaces common in salvage operations. The coextruded multi-layer construction provides excellent strength despite the slightly thinner gauge. The ultra high-tack adhesive more than compensates for the reduced thickness.
Q: What's the advantage of coextruded over monolayer film?
A: Coextruded (COEX) film is constructed from multiple layers laminated together for maximum strength, durability, and puncture-resistance. Competing monolayer products which are constructed from 1 layer are inferior to coextruded films—they tear more easily, especially on sharp or damaged surfaces common in salvage work.
Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for salvage yards?
A: Yes! Contact us at 800-910-9170 for volume pricing. Many salvage operations stock multiple rolls for consistent inventory protection.
Customer Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars - Salvage Yard Owner
"Perfect for our operation. The ultra high-tack really works—sticks to cars right off the tow truck without any prep. Blue tint keeps people from looking in and reduces theft. We go through 4-5 rolls a month. Started with the 24" rolls but switched to the 36" x 200' for better value. Saves us money on every vehicle."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars - Towing Company Manager

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars - Auto Auction Facility
