QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
For several years people have used Plasti Dip® without problems on car surfaces that have been dipped, peeled and re-dipped.
The key to making Plasti Dip® last for at least 3 years – without the need for retouching – is to make sure it’s applied properly in the first place. Plasti Dip® is very durable and won’t lose its bond.
Whether it’s the hot sun beating down its UV rays on your Plasti Dipped surface, or the constant battering by ice, rain or abrasive road salt, Plasti Dip® resists them all. That would explain why many users dip their car wheels into Plasti Dip® (or brush it on) before winter’s worst has a chance to eat away at the metal.
Plasti Dip® can resist up to 200°F, and has been known to handle the heat and abuse produced at racing or rally car events. However, heat resistance really depends on how long Plasti Dip is exposed to that heat, and how you expect the coating to perform in that heat. In general, if the coating will not be subject to impacts, nor is it expected to resist abrasion or chemicals, and if it’s just for a short amount of time, most Plasti Dip surfaces would be able to handle temperatures outside the listed range.
When you want it to, Plasti Dip® actually does peel off. But one reason Plasti Dip® might be hard to remove is if it was applied in too thin a coat. If the layer of Plasti Dip is too thin, it will tear into several pieces as you try to peel it off, making removal a real headache, This is why you need a professional to apply your Plasti Dip.

All you’ve got to do is use some soapy water in a bucket, and a rag. Or you can use a window cleaner. Whatever you usually use to wash similar materials should work well. But when cleaning your Plasti Dip surface, stay away from thinners and solvents that can damage Plasti Dip, and certainly don’t use gasoline as a cleaner on dried Plasti Dip.
Hundreds of Plasti Dip® customers have had the smart idea of using the Original Clear Plasti Dip® as a protective bra on their vehicle. After all, no aftermarket car bra can fit as tightly as a dipped car bra! It provides the ultimate front-end protection, “matches” the vehicle color, and fits even better than a glove.
