    Plasti-dip removal

    What is the best method of removal?

    I have used a power washer for most of the larger areas but I'm having dificulty removing this stuff from the hidden corners an what not.
    I've also heard that on wheels, you can use brake fluid , leave over night and it'll break up the paint into a slimy/rubbery goo.


    What else can I use?

    No luck just pulling? Goo gone takes it off pretty well in the places where its stubborn

      My gf sprayed her 240 (before we met, thankfully) and wanted to remove it, we sprayed the whole car with goo gone, let it sit, then pressure washed the whole thing off. Make a fucking mess but a lot easier then pealing it piece by piece, never again.

              This fender is what happens when a fender has been plastic-dipped for a long time.

                Oh, and if your wheels are painted, I don't recommend putting brake fluid on them.

                If they are painted with automotive grade paint, my suggestion is to hit it with non chlorinated brake clean, and hit it with a pressure washer.

                In my experience with PD emblems, brake clean makes it pliable again and easier to remove. Never did an entire car because of my issues with smaller items after a year.
