Good luck
A blade should never be used on a car/van directly........it is not fishing line...but a product called Wrap-Cut or Knifeless Tape ( the difference is where the cutting line is placed in the tape)

The car MUST be cleaned to the vinyl manufacturers specification ( usually their cleaning product).....if not and the vinyl fails they will not honour any warranty claim.

All handles/badges should be removed..........all recessed should be post heated with a heatgun to the manufacturers specs and checked with an infra red temp gauge.

I have been a signmaker for 20 years,completed 2 vehicle wrap courses but would not take on a wrap job.....

Best of luck, I hope it goes well.
