I know the feeling, I wanted the 3 car Garage, and it was just to far out of my price range! lol

What's the easiest/cleanest way to remove plastidip?

I spent 2 hours removing plastidip by hand from 3 wheels this afternoon and there's lots of patches left and I didn't do the inside of the wheels. Goo gone works for removing trouble spots but I ran out and don't really want to order more.

Is it safe to pressure wash my wheels to get it all off?

Wow I thought it was way easier than that to remove

I wonder if something like a credit card is safe for the finish. But I think a pressure washer would be perfectly fine with the proper nozzle (one with a flat, wide spray pattern or an adjustable one set to a wide spray) and assuming you don't use it on full power if you high power one. Although I have no experience with the product, so I don't know how it will respond to a pressure washer vs peeling it off by hand vs some other method.

Not a fan of the black roof with the Gun Metallic color. In fact, the reason I haven't done any accents (other than darken up the already smoked Z side markers) is because I can't decide on anything that I really like. Right now my plans are to color match the door handles and my front/rear EVO-R Z emblems.

sounds good, mr.jar. GL on the project!
