    Re: Removing plasti dip from hard to reach areas

    I mainly focus on detailing but also offer powder coating and plasti dipping. In cases like yours, hard to reach and plastic trim areas, I keep Goo gone spray GEL handy. Spray....soak....and pressure off. for any other areas, I keep a some Xylene around (which is actually an ingredient to plastidip) and old tshirts or 100% cotton rags. Put some on Xylene on the rags and wipe over the plasti dipped areas and comes off.....but for the plastic parts i stick to the goo gone spray GEL.

    Tarx will soften it, and then you can just pressure wash it off

    Turtle wax label remover very well for me on plasti dipped wheels especially lug holes and the product is OTC

    Dyc dip dissolver. Pearls & Pigments is one of the pioneers of plastidip, and we do most of their client's post dip cleaning. I'll have an article on this soon

    I used a magic eraser for the WRX that I did a while back. I didnt have to do areas like those vents though, I would think goo gone would work pretty well.

    Good luck

    WD-40 works really well as well on Plasti-Dip. It pretty much melts it off.
