So how well do this product hold up when washing you car? Do you have to apply lighter pressure when washing?

I have scrubbed my Plasti Dipped areas before. It holds up extremely well. The only thing I would refrain from doing is hitting the "Dipped" area with a power washer. Its a very durable product. Put it this way, I creamed a deer at 45-50 mph and that didnt even blow any of the "Dip" off my front bumper.

WHATEVER YOU DON'T GET OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE DIPPED SURFACE!

I sprayed my "tire shine" on my dipped rims just to see if it would shine em up a lil.....UM NOPE the dipped bubbled and now has started to flake off. (which ok by me cuz I plan to pwdrct them this winter anyway) Not sure this is gonna happen to every tire shine product but if you spent a lot of time dipping your rims it may be something you wanna watch out for.


PS I will post pics of the gloss ASAP, I probably should of thought ahead and had the black on my beater test hood before it showed up. You'll just have to wait a day or two more.
