What if some hater came and peeled off all the plasti dip on your car. That would be the funniest thing to come back to your car and its back to stock.

Would be better than some hater keying your car.

If you wash your rims with a brush would the plasti dip come off?

I don't know... I'm guessing if you rub hard enough it would start to peel. The beauty of the dip though is that you shouldn't have to do that. I simple spray down should do the trick.

I've never used a brush on wheels anyway. Kinda harsh. With soap and water, a wash mitt is more than enough and you probably won't even need that.

Plus if the person is going to peel it ALL off, that would be better than just peeling a piece and leaving it hang.

I usually just spray mine with soap and water. I've been afraid to try a brush on them for fear of accidentally peeling it off. Good thing is that it hides the brake dust well.

Agreed. Even a power washer held at about 3 feet isn't going to do anything and will blast most all dust and grime off.

This guy holds it way closer than I would and it seems to hold up fine...

Congrats man! I just did the wheels on my PW base Z and it looks great. I get compliments all the time, and they're not even the sport wheels

For those of you that have had it for a while, how does it hold up? Any chips etc?

Out of the 3 cars you own, you choose the Mercedes to plasti dip instead of the Ford or Honda?
