Prep work (as in cleaning, sealing, and wax) must be done prior to plastidipping, because if not it will result in more labor in taking it off.<br />
<br />
The Plastidip has been on the car for more than a month and been through many seasons during that time. Remember why I did this in the first place, it was because of the cold, icy snow seasons and it protected me from the sands. Also through super hot days you will see the results by watching the second video.<br />
<br />
2 Videos, one is a non prep/sanded paint bumper vs a prep hood.<br />
<br />

Well the answer is quite complicated to answer unless you feel it in person.<br />
Heres what I have to compare it with.<br />
<br />
It feels just like the Black MacBook nice and smooth, not rubbery. And if you do feel like wiping the surface with a 2000 grit sand paper it turns into fine paint smooth. Just a quick light wipe will do the job.<br />
<br />

These skirts and pillers were painted and apparently it came out much more smoother than metal surface.<br />
The picture of the skirt was taken when it was dirty so its completely smooth<br />

I had a used sanded down nismo bumper that was not painted nor wax and seal, when I tried removing the dip, it was sticking to the bumper. So best prep work = easy to take of later.Tim Tranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05870841778832019067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545419085110599255.post-66300657077805401622011-02-15T16:18:00.000-06:002011-02-15T16:18:38.557-06:00Bad Area Removal - Rear Quarter PanelI didn't get to take a picture of the peel off but I do have a picture of how clean it is after the peel off. Imagine you're stretching a plastic trash bag as wide as you can, thats how the material feels like and looks, hence <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Plasti</span></b>dip. Completely untouched after peel off, I need to clean off the edges though as you can see there are some left overs.<br />
