WANING Plasti-dip users
DO NOT USE WARM WATER ON ANY PLASTI-DIPPED ITEM!
went to just hose off the ole box today at the local wand wash. nothing I havent done before, yet i noticed the wand was getting quite toasty in my hands but thought it would only help "cut" grease better... from about 1 foot away I hit my several coated and gloss coated black rims, and instantly it bubbled off! to make things worse after getting home i inspected the damage and all the wheels are "shedding." so if you live in a place that "winterizes" the car wash to keep them open year round do not use hot water on plasti-dip. I was bare handed and holding the metal wand so it wasnt scorching hot, but enough to de laminate the wheel paint. plus side; easy way to remove the stuff haha and now i get to paint my rims Anthracite :cheers: for the those that care, I would 303 protect them bi monthly, so it wasnt uv damage. |
Hot tip! (Hehehe). I need to re-dip my wheels this off-season.
|
Were these the hot pink ones???
If so, it was a sign..... |
Huh, interesting. Now I know how to remove if I need to. I removed coating from a wheel once and it took some work.
|
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind this winter :cheers:
|
I've hand washed my plasti-dipped rims with hot water many times without any problem. Is there a chance that it was the pressure of the water and not the temp?

Timco, these were not pink! Rose was the technical color... jk standard black
I have power washed them before several times, like Evo said I think its the combo. J. Fro, That is almost "dad level" in terms of awful pun! haha |
Good to know. I currently have plasti-dip on a hood of my other car.
|
Thanks! I just PD'ed my rims black and haven't washed them yet. I'll make sure to keep my distanse when pressure washing them now.
Also: lol @ the title.. "WANING" .. makes me picture an old asian man yelling and shaking his fist in the air.. |
