My man you are a lifesaver! I plasti dipped my wheels and the coating was too thin so it was a pain to takeoff! I was on my way to a detailing shop and they ask for $150 to take them off and then I found out about your video. I sprayed rubbing alcohol on my wheels the night before and I woke up the next day took them all off in one hour! THANSK DUDE!

Great tips! You made a daunting task look easy!

That means the pasty dip was put on right

Thanks for this video. I've been debating plasti-dipping the rim's on my 4runner. Was worried about removal.. this changed my mind. Going to pick up my brake pads right now, gonna snag a couple bottles of plastidip, while I'm there! Thanks man!🤘😎

That plasti dip is done right. Mine is so thin that it wont peal as a whole and im getting kind of irritated.

what about the plasti dip inside the rim behind, like the overspray that gets on it. you just leave it alone then?

Alcohol doesn't work for me. I used goof-off as a solvent, works better but I still cannot get it completely clean on the inner edges between the "spokes". I used a pressure washer and it started peeling the rim's coating. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for the vid i bought some after market wheels that were plasti dipped and it looked terrible so I was trying to remove by peeling with a credit card but this helped so much thank you!!

If it's too thin to get to peel, why not clean the thin layer spotless so you can apply more coats to stick properly? Then try a heat gun or propane torch (keep it moving), to get it to start peeling. I'm trying to figure out how to get HF bedliner off of a Lexus wheel w/o trashing the finish. Any ideas? Next is getting it off the garage floor and wall. Yep, the wife ran over a brand new gallon of the goo and popped it. I'm still trying to figure out how she got the can and didn't drive through the wall. Hellfire!

Nice thanks, I'm actually thinking about applying plastidip to my new car wheels to make them all black and wanted to know how easy it would be to change my mind later on.

I'm glad I saw this video. I spent an hour today peeling one wheel that has 4 coats of dip and it's still not totally done.

SWEET!!!! Saw your post on Tavarish's channel and decided to check you out. I'm going to Sub! Keep up the good work!!'

what if i used duplicolor? ive been using sandpaper and it's been a good hour and im not even 25% done yet with one wheel, the sandpaper is working its just going to take days at the rate im going, please reply

Faster way, spray oven cleaner on it, let sit for a minute or two, it will start to bubble up. Next blast it with pressure washer and it all comes off in seconds. Not all oven cleaner is created equal, that natural lemon or orange crap won't work. I used Walmart house brand oven cleaner, like 2.78 a can which was enough for four wheels. This will also remove non clear coated rattle can paint jobs, like all those rims that people flat black rattle can painted before Plasti Dip became popular. It will not permanently damage factory clear coat but may make it soft for a while so do not use anything hard to scrape off paint, if there are any stubborn spots, use a nylon bristle brush. If you don't have a pressure washer, go use one of those pay and spray car washes.

wow, worked very fast, had only about 1/2 ounce of alcohol. going to buy a quart now. thx. original wheels are beautiful.

You can also use paint thinner as well

can also use thinner if its too thin to peel

What about if I don’t want to take the wheels off to get this done?

What if what if it's hard and caked up? Purple Power and Scotch-Brite pad? I have some on around my tail lights that's going to get painted anyway

I didn’t have rubbing alcohol so I tried peroxide works great

You look like Sammy from blue mountain state hahah great video!!

Very good idea how to remove plastc dip

Thank you Samcrac. I've been watching lots of videos, trying to find the easiest way to remove the plast dip from my wheels. Tomorrow is going to be a nice day outside so I will finally give it a try. 😊

Thanks buddy 💪

It's easy to remove because who ever applied it did it correctly with enough thickness, not because of the rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol also isn't the "main ingredient" that plastidip uses, it's naphtha.

Will acetone work?

The alcohol is not going to ruin the rubber of the tires?

Thought I'd ask if you still had the 2nd set of rims that were on the car when you started the video? I have the same set on my Volkswagen Eos and have been looking for another set. I know this video is old, but wanted to inquire if you wanted to sell them.

Anyone else shit themselves at 2:30? 😂

What if there are no tires mounted on the wheels?

what if your wheels are freshly balanced and mounted on your car.... Will rubbing alcohol ruin anything on the rotors or pads if you peel off the big spots and than g to a car wash to remove the remains hard to get too spots?

In my personal experience if you wipe clear coat with alchohol then it will begin to fade and appear dull and will require to be polished to give it that shine again

If u apply a new coat of the plasti did stuff and let it get almost completely dry it’ll roll right off and gasoline works very well too just not the healthy solution

I know this is from some time ago, but do you still have those wheels you pulled off? I'm in Central FL and can take them off your hands if so.

The wheels on your CC in the beginning look really nice!

Thanks man not all heroes wear capes

rubbing alc will remove any wax or seal on your car so if you do get it on your car make sure to rewax that spot or it will be unprotected.

I just bought a car thats is cover with plastic dip. The old owner says about 2yrs old on plastic dip. I want to remove it but need more ideas

That works only in recently plasti dip. But it doesn’t work on surfaces with old plasti dip

Thanks bro

Thanks for this. I have an entire car to get dip off of.

Very nice LS430 in the back

what percentage is your alcohol Samcrac ?

If you really want to remove plastidip really fast use the autozone brand brake cleaner, just spray then scrub with any rag or towel it will come off extremely fast lol i just took of another set off my vehicle today using my method

Degreaser works too

Do you know how many coats it had on? I only put 1 coat on my rims and it’s killing me to remove it

The best way to dissolve the dip off imo at my detail shop is with adhesive remover it basically liquifies it and it just wipes off

Ty Sam

Great video. I'm gonna Plasti dip one rim to see if I like it. If not take it off. So worth the risk now. Thnx

I did a shitty job on my plasti dip do it’s a little hard to take off. It looks nice but I could’ve done a better job. 2nd time should look better!

Won't this make your tires brown over time??? As in the next day

Thanks!

Go Bolts!

you know the pressure washer on the highest setting will hurt the paint on the wheel that’s why there’s a car setting on some pressure washers because it won’t harm the paint

Plastic razor blades would help scraping that remainder portion too. thanks for vid. Need to remove P-Dip from wheels to sell my car

Kerosene also works very well.

Gasoline works best I just took plastidip off my wheels after 6 years and I used gasoline and a pressure washer and it came off flawlessly very little effort

Thanks sam

Very nice

Brake cleaner will make it wipe off instantly. It also removes tail light spray tint

You were lucky the rubber coat was thick enough. I used WD-40 and lots of elbow grease... in my case the rubber paint dried over the summer and the rubber layer got too thin to peel it off. WD-40 helped dissolve the rubber + WD-40 soaked sponge & old rags helped remove it. After WD-40 it is necessary to use water with dish soap and clean rags to remove the greasy residue & have the rims perfectly clean. Final step is to apply paint wax & buff it off to protect the surface and reduce the amount of brake dust sticking to the surface.

99.9% Isopropyl alcohol is also great for removing tree sap from your paint.

Thanks dog appreciate it

That only works if you put it on thick. It doesn't work if it's a thin layer of plasti dip

Previous owner dipped it RIGHT. I have dipped 4 cars so far. Got a car from dealer and, someone dipped the wheels. Horrible job, so thin. If its put on right you dont even need a solution. Good video nonetheless.

Plastic dip removal works too.

Work but i found something a lot better, heavy duty grease remover, its work amazing

The fact that you have a product in home, doenst make it free... XD, but great video!

👌

rubbing alcohol took the finish off my rims now it looks like someone jizzed all over it GREAT VIDEO

Apply with a sponge

The previous owner of my car didn't plasti dip right or something happened and the dip is peeling. Hopefully I'm right and it is plasti dip and I can just remove it, otherwise I'm about to spend a lot of money for new emblems. LOL

You do realize that this is exactly how plasti dip is designed to work? You don’t even need rubbing alcohol....

Rubbing alcohol dries out rubber. I would be really cautious about letting it pool very long between the tire and the rim

Not sure what exactly the alcohol did peeling the product off your rim is how it was meant to be used. spray a lil kerosene and watch it melt off without peeling.

2:32 RIP HEADPHONE USERS!!!!!

Mineral terps breaks it down and removes it.

Well duh if you put it on thick enough it peels off in under 60 seconds. I do it all the time with my bare hands and no alcohol or water. Not so easy with thin layers. Thin layers BLOW

but I'm in california and we are in a drought, cant use water as freely like you did. somebody could report you, be careful.

Adam Sandler? .

No thanks

This isn't free? You're still out the cost of the isopropyl alcohol.

Yea she no work like that most the time..

Lmaol this ain't fast

What a total waste of an alcohol bottle 🤣🤣🤣 if it didn't melt it, it's not doing anything. 😅😅😅

Kids.. Stop using plasti dip worst invention ever

Bullshit video, this is the correct way to take it off, not the way if someone applied it wrong

One gay song

Plasti dip= broke amateur
