To me a "wrap" is something meant to be temporary - a clear coat to protect the aluminum body
makes good sense and would further protect the car from deterioration or vandalism (graffiti for
one) and perhaps extend a car's life span.
Aluminum needs no coating to protect it from deterioration, It naturally forms an oxide coating to protect itself in much the same way red metals do.
The wraps are a low cost method that eliminates the use of environmentally unfriendly detergents and solvents to keep the exterior of the aluminum car bodies brightly clean. Those detergents and solvents removed the dirt and grime not the naturally formed oxide coating.
