Need Help: Cleaning Plasti Dip Wheels

[RDKC]

Does anybody here have experience with cleaning Plasti Dip wheels?

My brother wants my help and advice with maintaining the appearance of his truck. I've given him a basic rundown of what I know and told him about here and AGO.

However, there is one thing I really don't know about - the Plasti Dip on his wheels. I've searched and found that some APCs are safe so I can try my Meg's APC and that you can use tire dressing on it. I couldn't find a few answers though.

1. How much agitation can the Plasti Dip (properly applied) withstand? THe softest brush I have right now is a Tampico spoke brush.

2. Does anyone know if any stronger cleaners are safe on the dip?

3. Would a tire coating work on the Plasti Dip such as Tuff Shine or DP?

4. Will tire cleaners damage the dip at all?

Once plasti dip is cured it can withstand a good bit of scrubbing. Don't use a really strong APC like Optimum Power Clean, it will remove it. I have seen where if you aren't really careful around the edges, where the tire and rim meet, that a tire cleaner and brush will cause it to peel. I would just use soap and water. It can clean up pretty easily.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just try regular soap and a mitt and move up to D101 at 1:10 if that doesn't get it all.
