Plasti-dip removal?
 
So I just figured out that the centers of my wheels were just black plasti dip and I started peeling away at the stuff. Most of it comes off pretty easy except for spots where it was sprayed on light. So theres still a decent amount of plasti dip on the wheels. I was wondering if anybody knows of anything that will make taking that shit off easier. Thanks!

I use an eraser wheel, but even a rag and a bit of elbow greese should remove it.

Micro fiber and some lacquerer thinner

Yeah a micro and some thinner will make quick work of it. Just be careful and go easy with it and wipe it clean.

Well, after hours of peeling and wiping off plasti-dip, I finally got my wheels cleaned up. I must say.......what a difference! Big thanks to Zfreie, Z28, and smokiness for the tips!

Thanks Frank, its come a looong way in such short time. I honestly feel like I could get close to double what I paid for it if I wanted to turn around and sell it. But that's not happening haha.

Looks good. Bring that bad bird here to Florida so I can polish it up!!! Then you can really flip it and make some coin! LOL Glad it worked out for you buddy.
