Excellent! Yeah. Way over priced.

when you get a car wash it doesn’t come off or start peeling at all?

but how long does it last?

So you don’t have to cut around the edges before starting to peel??

@@medicmike7549 nope!

"actually"

How many minutes after I spray can I peel the excess? Or should I remove it after all are dried up?

2 years? How many coats you sprayed bro?

Yep. It’s extremely durable. I need to do follow up video.

@@FrankPapadakis None of that really matters with a small application like this. And if you’re that insecure about saving money then you might want to check the mirror.

I’m wondering if this works on trucks too or just ridgelines.

@@FrankPapadakis Act broke to stay rich. That’s why I get paid to go to school. Flaunt your money and get snatched out of them high heels.

@@YuriyMotso did you do a follow up video?

Awesome feed back! Glad it helped out!

Where could I get this?

@@davidbagley2365 Just about any auto parts store

@@davidbagley2365 Walmart in the paint section

How does it last going thru a car was? Just curious.

Thanks!

I am glad you are inspired!

Awesome!

Awesome! Wish you great success!

Thank you!

Yeah, being conservative on the spraying is not a benefit in this application.

@@nacuda9 I personally have not run my car through the car wash. But it does seem to hold up to pressure washing at home. But I didn't hold the it to long in one spot. I do have some some pealing on the edges, but that was from my wife curbbing my rims when she took it out one day..lol

SMART! Good way to handle that!

Spray the premier first before the base paint. He premier makes the paint attach longer

Thank you!

Great!

Awesome! Thanks!

Thank you

Oh nice. Thanks for the tip. I wonder if like butter would work too. 🤣

​@@YuriyMotso .... Vasoline

​@Ron Riggs exactly what I was going to say... been using it for years to stop paint going where it shouldn't

Thank you!

Thanks!

That’s awesome!

Thanks!

Thanks! It was a warm day so it was not much longer than 1 minute. Maybe 2 minutes max.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks 👍

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you!

Honestly plastidip is much easier than wrapping. However if it’s a large surface area you could end up with some overspray or uneven coatings if you are not experienced. The vinyl has its own issues as well. Overall great finish but more difficult, time consuming and you could get wrinkles if you don’t handle the material properly. Now I have done both and because my plastidip is on the rear of the truck it’s not exposed to the same torrential weathering like the vinyl does. That being said the vinyl is still in excellent shape. Looks same as the day I installed it. No fading or peeling. I’ll maybe have to do a follow up video for you guys so you can see it up close and personal. So preference really goes down to how much time and effort you want to put into your piece. The quality comes down how well you can apply the material so both will look good if you do it right. Today I might go with plastidip first and if that failed vinyl. You can buy plastidip on matte, semi and high gloss finishes. So if you like that glossy black interior trim on the rtle and black edition ridgelines then that would be the route to go.

Thank you!

You’re welcome

Thanks!

Thanks

Honestly if I did it again, probably would try the plastidip. Reason is that my plastidip has been on now for two years and looks like new. Since the window pillars are located on the side of the vehicle and not the front, very little damage will be happening from rock chips that would increase the likelihood of it peeling away. So for that reason I would definitely try the plastidip.

@@YuriyMotso Thank you! I was really hoping you'd say that. Looks easier to do.

Thank you.

Heat gun.

Door chrome? Around the window? Probably more work than it’s worth.

Thank you!

Thanks Ron. I actually used a pressure washer on it from a few inches away after a year and it held up. I have no problems with washing with a sponge when I do wash my vehicle. It still looks like new on my truck. I am not super careful when I wash around that area but I do try not to be aggressive.

You are welcome!

I will work around there. I don’t go through car washes due to my light pods but it passes a pressure washer test.

Toothpick or tweezers work best to get in between letters

Because it’s going on in small coats and I’m not building up enough material between the gap from the logo and the vehicle, that is a weak spot where the plastidip will rip away cleanly. Don’t wait too long. A few minutes and you should start removing the plastidip.

Yes it would. Plastidip is also available in a variety of colors at local home depot or lowes.

@@YuriyMotsoAwesome!!! Thank you for the info!!!

Two years in and still like the day I applied it. I pressure wash my car and use sponge and it’s good.

No need for the razor. Just a good application and don’t wait to long to peel it off. You want the gaps to be the breaking point when you peel it off.

Thanks. Yes, plastic dip is not a permanent application but is very resilient to most conditions. You can peel it off later as I showed in my example technique. Now on emblems and intricate items it may take a little more work to remove but again it's not permanent. The brand I used is Plasti-dip. Available in all your local retail stores, Walmart, home depot, Lowes, orielly auto parts and more. If you have specific colors you are looking for then I have link to plasti-dip in my description.

It took like two cans of I remember correctly. It’s been holding up solid. Not a single issue. Pressure washer even doesn’t take it off so it’s going to stay out till I take it off.

It will hold up as long as you don’t get rock chips and do proper prep on the surface making sure it’s clean. A rock chip will compromise the paint and it will eventually start failing.

It’s holding up really well. I have a video testing it against a pressure washer about 8 months later.

@@YuriyMotso Good to hear. You do an outstanding informational video job I am a new Ridgeline owner. Excited. I will look for the pressure washer video. Thanks

They sell a glossy finish if you wanted

Wonder how the glossy finish holds up to washes.

You can plasti dip almost anything. It will hold up great as long as you are not being abrasive with it. Especially as a cover since it’s behind the truck, it won’t get chips which can possibly fail

I been washing my car and pressure washing it for a year. No problems. Just be careful around that area.

I used to live in Tacoma boarders federalway. When fully dry it should hold up to car washes, people spray their rims all the time. Maybe try a small area and test it out before committing. I don’t use car washes, because I can’t. I do prefer touchless though. Lots of great touchless car washes in Washington.
