    Yea, typically a few scrapes of the nail will get it lifted/rolled up before peeling. Maybe previous owner didn't add enough coats to the point where it's thick.

    Re: How to remove plasti dip

    Plasti dip has a citrus based cleaner that does a pretty good job of removing the old dip. I worked on a gtr that had plasti dip in every crack and crevice. I sprayed on the cleaner let it sit for a few minutes and hit it with a pressure washer.

    I may try this. I think what I'll do is try everything and make a small un controlled review of which works best. Since there is plenty for me to test on How to remove plasti dip

    Did you spray it on and let it dry or stay wet?

    Xylene will remove it but be careful as it is hard on paint if left on too long. Best way is brush on directly on the plasti-dip and use shop towel to wipe off.

    Re: How to remove plasti dip

    Goo gone will take it off I have removed it personally with that and also with goof off. If plastic dip is left on to long or is not applied right meaning not enough coats taking it off becomes very very difficult. I even had to use a plastic razorblade I was scared it would do damage but believe me it did not. But goo gone is your best bet if you do not want to order the plastic dip remover that is sold on their website. Good luck

    Spray lacquer thinner on a rag and rub plasti dip. Repeat as needed.
