- There are a million ways or more to remove stubborn Plasti Dip, but which one is the best? In this video, we try some of the most common products in the same setting and see which works the best.
FYI: A new product was release after shooting this video specifically to remove plastidip. It is very expensive however the feedback so far is favorable: Dip Desolver amzn.to/2wdrHg5
Rain-x Bug and Tar Remover: amzn.to/2wjWJ4x
GooGone: amzn.to/2vn5Fsp - Авто та транспорт
I went to O'Reilly and bought a can of brake cleaner for 4.29 I sprayed let it sit about 10 minutes came back sprayed it again and it wiped off like makeup
use the spray googone, soak the entire surface with a thick coat and let sit for 20 minutes. Pressure wash at close range. It comes right off
I used that method on my wheels, and it worked great
Thanks now I don't have to watch a 11 minute video for a 5 second response
2 years later, u know if it would work on a roof on a car?
The previous owner dipped it black and I would like to remove it, but little scared... hehe
And Goo Gone doesn't exist here I think.. :/ #Sweden
Authentic You can order it in if you want to play safe, DYC have their own solution that’s the same as De-Solv-It (their near identical)
I hope this works I got a whole ass car with plastic dip n now I regret it 😂
Thanks for the help! Definitely go with Bug & Tar remover, especially for removing plasti dip from chromed plastics (grill)
Thanks for the tip. I was really struggling with my wheels. The break cleaner worked well.
Skip to 11 minutes if you want your question answered
Wow you weren’t kidding haha
Thank you! This could have been a 30 second video
Thank you. And I'm sorry if you watched the entire video lol
Just use gasoline, it’s easy I promise
Yea I've had good luck with mineral spirits or paint thinner. It literally almost melted off. Took a little scrubbing but made it way way easier
I used the exact same bug tar remover and it worked wonders on thin or heavy coated plastic dip. It was on my front chrome bumper and I coated it with the bug tar remover and used a cloth and man it just rolled off. Could even take my finger and it was gone
Wd40 worked great for me. The wd40 basically caused it to release from the rims and made it way easier to peel off. The wd40 is not for melting and wiping off the plasti dip. I used engine degreaser for the hard to remove spots and it straight up liquified the plasti dip making it very easy to wipe away.
ever try engine degreaser? started melting off as soon as I sprayed it on
I just bought mothers foaming bug and tar remover and armorall extreme bug and tar remover and it did absolutely "NOTHING". Thee only thing that i found that works is goo gone. The spray works good but buy the gel spray if available. A couple minutes of wait time and hit it with a bristle brush and it just melts away. Get plenty of microfiber cloths to wipe it off.
One that is really good to use is Remington REM oil (gun oil). Get the one that is a green and yellow can. You spray it on the surface that has plasti dip and while it's still wet you wipe it off with a towel. You won't even break a sweat doing it.
Try Rapid Remover and a electric power washer with turbo tip. Just used that method today, and it was amazing!
Not sure about other types of alcohol, but I had denatured alcohol laying around and it worked flawlessly.
Great video! Definitely helped me in my removal process
Starting fluid, break cleaner, acetone, anything that smells extremely flammable works good.
diesel fuel it's an oil base that will take it off too
I will try these ideas I will let you know how it worked!
Active EJ USE CAR ACID CLEANER COMES STRAIGHT OFF
But it will damage the paint bro bugs & tar works best and will not damage the paint
Clorox & Windex mixed in a bottle works best!
just used the bug remover. Worked well. Thanks
Broooo....so glad i found this vid....i was goin to go with goo gone but in the instructions it said no rubber surfaces.....so i went with the bug and tar remover......HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD....the longer it sits the easier it is...i literally removed the plasta dip with my finger by just rubbing it
Just peeled mine off, worked like a charm...
So helpful. I plasti dipped my motorcycle lavender and I need to sell it. Not sure a lot of people want a lavender sport bike 😅
Great video man! personally I've used wd-40 with better results than yours but it was a sticky nightmare when I used it in the past. I'll definately try the bug and tar remover next time. Thx for the awesome comparison!
quicksilver amor all wheel cleaner spray on wait 3 mins and it just dissolves then spray off with a waterhose
Kerosene, spray bottle, scrub brush and a pressure washer. I had a set of motorcycle wheels and a swing arm with several applications over 2 years they have deep crevices and rough surface texture. All ready for blasting and powder coating.
I heard liquid wrench works. Iono. I’m researching because I want to remove the Plasti dip on my grill and I don’t want to mess up the paint. Not sure what products to use any suggestion is welcome...
I used paint thinner s6001 and it work really good.
What really works and I tried on my wheels is white vinegar mixed with baking soda,just make sure you wear latex gloves if you are doing all 4 wheels.
I think you should also trying comparing elbow grease and isopropyl alcohol too.
pour a syrup on your wheels and let the ants do the job
I tried it and it worked. thanks

@@jonatello2036 U forgot to add ( * )
@@V8vortec98 no you did
holy crap less talking and just do it.
every instruction video on youtube takes forever to get to the point
OK nike
Yeah, UA-cam makes me crazy. Best way to get information on the internet but you have to suffer through so much yakking.
Not to mention the 507538 umm and uhh's
O'Reilly's engine degreaser works really good to of you let it sit for a min
I just used a product made by JASCO, Premium paint & epoxy remover - brushable semi-paste. It took absolutely mininmal effort to remove the plasti dip!! Highly recommend.
I accidentally found out that pb blaster works best when I was putting new tires on my wheel, you should try it.
Why do you prefer the bug and tar remover over the goo gone? Is it faster?
i find that meguires hot shine tire shine works really well.
Just tried a wax & grease remover that's used for paint prep. It removes plasti-dip easily like a scratch 'n' win card coating. I used a 3M non-scratch dish-washing pad to rub it off...just dab it on, wait 20 seconds and rub off...so easy
My husband sprayed on some kind of cleaning/wax stuff we purchased out of a gas station parking lot. One of those vendors pushing a product out in front type deal. Anyway he sprayed it all over the running boards then used his power washer with high pressure and it came off so easy. Worked like a charm. Running boards looked new.
It would have came off just as easy without any chemical if he was using a pressure washer...
Great video man. Very helpful
Brake cleaner from auto zone works wonders, you just have to wipe as soon as you spray 👌🏽
You just saved me so much time, thank you
@@ToXiiCxGUNNER did it work? Which brand?
What's of best
Goof off for graffiti works well also
@@juanpacheco3011 lo quita rapido el Graffiti bro ?
as I'm watching your video I'm spraying on brake parts cleaner and you have to try it..for me it's melting right off..abit of stink but it's working wonders
Really?!
does brake cleaner melt plastic? I'm trying to remove from plastic is why I'm asking.
Mineral Oil worked for me like a champ. It requires some time, but does clean it off without any issue.
how about using a pressure washer? i'm needing to remove it from plastic & rubber parts so I cant use petroleum-based solvents.
Bought a car with plasti dip and it looked like whoever did it only did 1 coat because there are some parts on the rim will the plasti dip will not come off and I already used goo gone with a pressure washer to and it wouldn’t come off any sugestions on what other chemical to use to remove this stubborn plasti dip? I removed about 90 percent of the plasti dip on the rims but seeing some of it on the rim is a eye sore
I wander if it'd be best to use bug and tar remover then pressure wash
My first time removing plastic dip from wheels I used automotive lacquer thinner on what didn't want come off. It left stains but with a clean rag it solved that. Automotive reducer would work the same but warning be careful how you use on any part of a vehicle
Can u apply this goo gone on anywhere or just on certain places and where can I get them please comment back anyone
Just saying , DW-40 works great for those little over spray area’s.
Final results gonna be a little greasy but just wash it and wax it later you’ll b fine .
11 minutes? This video should have been 90 seconds.
I''m never using plastidip again!!!! Easy to apply but nightmare to remove!!!
*easy to apply poorly
Several layers, 3 to 4 or more, you can peal the shit ofg
im kind curious to see how this video turns out
What will these products do to automotive paint?
Turpentine is hands down the best for all that doesn’t know and felt as if this selection was not enough for you.
How about the good old plasti dip remover.. like really?
I just watched this today, I made the mistake of spraying too thin of a layer on my truck and it was such a b***h taking it off and goo gone worked awesome! I left it sitting for about an hour and it peeled off like a dream, it's super messy but who cares it works so well.
What about dip dissolver is it as good as that one ?
Use carb cleaner for unpainted surfaces it almost melts it off as soon as you spray it on
I used a product called universal thinner and it worked instantly
Paint stripper 100% recommend you guys try it out works all the time make sure to mask off areas... and use a razor to remove the dip
use crc enginedegreaser also good for removing plastidip and it can't damage ur paint
pb blaster or any acidic cleaner the make some for cleaning ac units spray it on and it washes right off
I had no issue peeling most of mine off without any product. Any of the trouble spots I just used acetone. Works better than any product tested here.Very glad you made this video though. Well done!
Robert Dittenhauser Thanks Robert! If Plasti Dip is applied properly it should peel off as your experience shows. When it's applied too thin you have to resort to other measures. I'll be sure to try acetone for a test sometime as now I'm curious to see how it will perform!
any dip thinner works xenol nafta even ON from pump.
xylene is the main thinning agent in plastidip. You can pick it up at the local hardware store it literally melts it off without damaging the factory finish.
Will it damage paint for the hood ?
I had the that subaru impreza wagon 2002.. loved that car man!
They're great cars for sure!
Glad I saw this, bought a car recently and the person before me botched a plasti dip job, ill be using goo gone to take that crud off
I used WD 40 you need to let it sit for about 45 mins it literally washed off some spots I didn't apply enough and light brushes ripped off what's left
I just used pb blaster. Took 5 mins soak. And literally comes right off. Now force needed.
"Well, that settles it,!" leave that engine cleaner on there for about 5-10 & it WILL literally melt off. elbow grease optional. overspray wipes away as well.be careful tho, strong stuff, wont eat the paint
Great Video. I used several heavy coats of Plasti Dip; having a lot of trouble getting the dip off. Tried Naphtha to remove it came off very little with similar. Also tried high heat with a blow dryer worked okay but took a very long time.. How long did it take you with the bug and tar to do it all? Thanks
- Tom
+Tom A. Hmmm. A couple heavy coats and it usually is able to pull off, but sounds like you're getting unlucky. Unfortunately it still took me about 2 hours start to finish with the bug and tar. My fingers were sore as hell after. The nooks and crannies are the real pain. If that doesn't work out, you can try spraying another coat and then remove it after. It sounds a bit counter-intuitive but sometimes more helps you pull it off together.
+EatSleepDrive So i just was told that my friend who bought the canisters used something called Rust Oleum LeakSeal, he said it would last better in the snow and with the salt. I wasn't planning on taking them off lol.. Just trying sell them to auto shop up here and he won't take the coating off. Understandable.. Appreciate your feedback and thanks for informing me that it took 2 hours with you, gives me a baseline on when to throw in the towel and just junk them..
Someone mentioned aircraft remover, just looking for the most effective way in the quickest about of time (working in mid 20s degree weather) with ruining the rim OEM. Appreciate all the feedbacks.
Thanks Everybody,
Tom
+Tom A. Thanks for the follow up. Aircraft remover will take off just about anything, just be careful it doesn’t mess up the wheel finish under the 'LeakSeal'. It's pretty serious stuff for sure.
guys brake parts cleaner melts dip right off at least for thin coats. works great for rims
The wd-40 method works really well but the catch is you have to wait 40 to 50 minutes for it to work.
Hmm, never thought of using WD40. I just used a pressure washer and it came off fairly easily
Will the wd40 damage the paint and clear coat??
Use mineral spirits, nail polish remover, light thinner, or DYC Remover, or simply peel it power wash worth 6000 psi or more.
Use break Kleen melts it off instantly (you have to wipe it while it is still wet)
Will paint thinner work ? 🤔
Use Dip Dissolver! Thats awesome
Googone works for me thanks for the tip
I just tried wd40 on the chrome areas of my grill. The hyperdip literally wiped off with ease. In some sections it was like fresh paint being wiped away.
Maybe it's different with metals.
Yeah I got some stubborn plasti dip on the trim of my side windows and nothing has worked might need to try a pressure washer and some brake cleaner lol
Xylene works good too
3m specialty adhesive remover. Spray and wipe off. No wait and takes it all off without damage
I used The bug and tar remover with a semi power washer at a random car wash and it worked really well
are we gonna feel bad coz of the mess we make at the car wash :)
why not adding platidip to make a thicker coat and then remove all in one...?
Have you tried mineral spirits mixed with water? Worked well for me. I was interested in other options though too because I wasn't 100% sure about the consequences if any, of mineral spirits.
+Jason Luke Thanks for the suggestion! That's one I'll have to add to the list for next time. Just be cautious of fumes since that is pretty serious stuff compared to the rest of these products.
theyre called vapors not fumes lol got your back
*You should have removed the wheel first so that the products stay on the spokes.*
i subscrobed because of the intro, groovy!
Gas works 👍 I was fueling my car and a little bit of gas dripped on my rims and the Plasti dip was coming off,so guys watch what your doing , while fueling
I've fucked up my motorcycle's tank so many times
Laquer thinner. Or reducer work best.
goo gone & paint thinner work the best for me
Thanks for the video. I have a few layers of purple on my rims that has been there for about two years now, and I'm ready for a change. When I look at the plasti dip, it doesn't look like its going to peel very easily, so I just wanted to see what my options are for the removal part of the process.
Plastidip is good at removing plastidip, no joke. Spray fresh plastidip over dry plastidip and it works like a charm.
How many times did you say “ ahh ummmm”
Them blk wheels look dope
Brake clean work like a boss
i think you have to leave the goo gone fro 30 minute and also the wd 40
I've got a really old stoners bug and tar remover that just splashed onto it and messed it up Hell a bad. I'm going to remove it all with that.
Brake fluid works as well
To sum up the top vauched for plasti dip removal product within the comments I'll say it's BRAKE CLEANER. Some even attest that it works wonders(so long as one wipes soon after applying since break cleaner tends to evaporated in a short period of time)
Thats retarded, it removes the clear coat of the rims.
Can you speed it up ?
Just use norm thinner.. it worked for me
Why not each wheel instead each spoke
