thanks yea just noticed home depot has it. What type of product is used to wash a car with plastic dip? any kind of SPECIAL CAR WASH safe for plasti dip?

I haven't used the stuff ... yet. I like the way it looks on the door handles and fangs and will probably end up doing at least one of those eventually. I'm just following this thread to see what other ideas ppl are coming up with.

Most of the durability problems I've seen on here have to do with wear on the door handles and rock dings on the fangs. Going by the lack of other complaints, I'll venture that you can use anything you'd use on the factory paint. Maybe someone with experience will chime in and confirm/deny that.

Just do this to your remaining areas that arent real CF...?

Create Carbon Fiber Look with Plasti Dip - YouTube

You can buy red plastidip and black dip. Then get the glossifier to put over the top. Then take pics to show how different real carbon fiber is next to plastidiped panels. I think it would look good after watching the video. But i have yet to try it!

I decided to wait for the carbon fiber doors and other parts, after I decided to tape/mask some areas lol

There is some new thought that you should not dip and peel, dip and peel. Instead, dip you layers on and the last layer go a little heavier and then peel as soon as you are done applying over the tape. When PD is applied to PD the lower layers reliquify giving you a cleaner line when you peel. I haven't tried it but the dipyourcar forum boys swear by it.

Now for some awesomeness. This weekend I will be blowing the top off of the PlastiDip world when I dip my Z like my lil test ride here.

It is actually a black base with a pigment called Interferene Violet in the glossifier. The pigment reflect violet in direct light otherwise the car looks black.
