The maya wrap has serious deficiencies. We were stuck in hell with this at Blizzard until RnD created a wrap deformer with editable weights per point. The SS shaders required two sided surfaces, but Ambocc shader would return black spots if the sides got too close. We would have to assign two-color shaders in the viewport and paint push deformers on many shots. Often times on cloth, if the back wasn't visible, we would just inflate the crap out of them. I got pretty good at animating clusters.
