Beautiful job. Just a shame that we have to see another example where someone gave plastidip a bad name by failing to properly prep and spray.
I've seen it done neat and tidy. Has it's purpose. Two of my guys are from the New England area. We don't get much snow (none) here in Houston but I guess its a huge protective measure up in the NE. Down here in houston we see it every day, sloppy, peeling, put on too thin, and used as a cheap half assed way to not have to properly care for paintwork.
The shops here charge $1800 for a full car and sell it as a "cheaper alternative to paint correction" giving us a massively bad name.
Looks like a great turnaround. Products? Process? Please share what you used. We are all here to learn and share.
WD-40 OWNS plasti dip. Also used some adhesive remover. On the wheels and sprocket an swing arm, just a gentle brush and super clean degreaser.
Spray WD-40 on the plasti dip, agitate, let sit but not dry, power wash. Repeat until you erode it all away. Much of the plasti bodywork was removed so the underneath overspray could be gotten to.
The wind screen was polished using Meg105 and micorfiber cutting pad.
Painted surfaces polished with a white pad and Wolfgang TSR.
Chain oiled with no sling chain lube, chain tension reset. Tires deflated (seems they were filled in winter and the texas heat had them WAY over pressurized.
Bike kept on trickle charger while in shop.
