Default PlastiDip removal tips?
I know it's supposed to just peel off but it ain't happening for me. Spent over an hour on one wheel trying that and didn't get very far. Looks like I'm going to have to spend $50 in quarters at the car wash to get it all off.
Anybody that's removed theirs before had the same problem?

if you didnt spray heavy coats then it will be a bitch to get off. pressure wash wont really do shit either as i still have tiny bits from mine. time for the simple green and scrubbing...

That's what I was thinking I'd end up having to do. What did you use to scrub with? The finish on the wheels was shit when I got them so I'm not too worried about some fine scratches

a real pressure washer should take it right off, not those shitty ones at the car wash...
