Default How to strip Plastidip?

Just wanted to share my method ..

Dirty Wheel, doesn't really need to be washed to remove Plastidip. It's been baking from my brakes for months.



AutoZone $20 WD-40 (this is enough for 20 wheels). I buy in bulk .



Spray WD-40 All over it, 3 coats, 5 minutes between each coat.



After 5 Minutes scrub it with a soft cloth or a Wheel Glove (AutoZone $5)



It works better if you have a pressure washer, I DONT...



Now one more Coat of WD40 and wide it all off with a microfiber.



Tada





You can obviously try to peel the Plastidip before WD40 to try to get the most of it off but as many of you know, after Plastidip is baked on-to the wheel, it's not coming off as one peace.
