When I was pulling the plasti dip off my wheels, some of the parts that had gotten really hot took some of the wheel's original finish off with it. I'll take a pic of it tomorrow to show you guys what I'm talking about. This might have to do with my new brake set up though since it seems to get much hotter than the stock setup. I installed Carbotech XP8's a month ago and also took my car on a track session. Guess some parts of my wheels got a bit too hot at some point there.

Try WD40 to remove plastidip.

check out the thinner solution on dipyourcar.com. it will probably take it off. $7

the thinner also has more application than just removal...... but I'm sure you already knew that too.
