Just curious -

Why are folks using this on any type of wheels? I would tend to think that since the product cures w/ a rubberized or "plasti" surface, that if used on vehicles that are used for daily driving, trying to wash or get brake dust off of the rims would be next to impossible...??? No?

How well does this hold up to multiple car washings - has anyone had this stuff on their vehicles for any length of time to really see how durable it is after being applied & washed/detailed multiple times?

Seeing that it can be used on metal & plastic surfaces - I'm sure it can be used on interior surfaces as well - wonder if anyone has tried to "redye" their interiors? LOL.... Definitely looks very good from those of you who have posted up pics after applying it, looks really good... POST MORE PICS!

This product would also work well for:
1) refinishing the rocker panels (as another member stated)
2) freshening up the L & R inner wheel wells (of course after washing out all of the accumulated road debris)

You are better off buying Rubberized undercoating for inner wheel wells, it's waaaay thicker and dries with an OEM texture.

this is bitchin'. Going tomorrow to pick up like 10 cans. 10 cans if they are at 1.49 like specified earlier in the thread. Hopefully im as lucky as whoever paid that!!!!

[themitchster359]

[Rodoni]

well if its 6 a can, ill prolly by 3.

Do you guys think the clear one could be used for a clear coat??

I hope so.

[straight6pwr]

here they were $7 a piece. picked up black and clear. going to test the clear to see its possibilities (use it like lamix to clear headlights/ clear taillights/ etc)

[Rodoni]

I'm curious if this is in fact the solution to those of us with cracked dashboards? This seems to be a popular solution with the porsche 924 guys when their dashes crack:

So can we just pull out our cracked dash, fill in the cracks with some sort of epoxy based flexible filler or even urethane and then put 3 or 4 coats of this stuff on and we have nice new looking dashes for the cost of around 20 bucks and a painful weekend of pulling the dash? Has anybody tried this sort of repair on the dash because my searches brought up nothing?

I pulled the vinyl off of my e-brake surround mainly because it isn't being used right now and sprayed a test coat on it to check out. My biggest concerns are durability (will it chalk up over time, etc...) and being able to match the finish/texture across any repairs. I'll try and report my findings later this weekend but my intention is to try and repair the dash and use this as my vinyl coating.

Any thoughts?

I had this exact same thought about dashboards when I first got this stuff, I bet that would work perfectly. The only problem there is this stuff will make ANY imperfection look 10 times worse, it follows countours of materials perfectly. So you would have the textured areas of the dashboard, then the area you fixed, which would be smooth from filling it. The only way to get around that would be if you somehow textured the part you filled, and you'd probably still be able to see the edges of your fix.
