Vinyl is often protected with a Ceramic Coating protection to prolong the durability against harmful damage from UV rays and make colours "pop" on the vinyl. PPF can also be overlayed on top of vinyl to protect against rock chips of a colour changed vehicle.
Vinyl wrap can be protected in a variety of ways but the best option is to wrap paint protection film over the vinyl if possible. Also, the upgraded layer of protection will not only protect against rock chips and swirls, but also against the damaging effects of the elements and UV rays. This way the vinyl wrap will remain intact throughout its service life.
