    Are you going to do the grill surround? If so use like 3 coats of glossifier on that over the white. When it gets dingy ask my how to clean it

    I am! Going to do the mirrors as well. I just want to pick up a couple more cans of dip, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Turns out I did indeed break a bone in my hand last week, so I'm trying to take it easy.

    I thought you just wrapped your mirrors I liked what I saw in the pictures. My front grill surround and rear bumper are dipped and they will get dingy after a while I found a easy way to clean and brighten them back up

    I did wrap my mirrors, but went out the next morning and it was peeling back. What's your trick? I was going to rub some tire dressing on it

    When the white gets dingy just use some Mother's cleaner wax on it and it will clean it and brighten it rt back up. Don't let it sit on there long just do a section at a time and wipe it beck off. the texture of the dip wont let you get all the wax off but if you then spray it with a detail spray and wipe that like regular it takes off the rest of the wax residue

    the glossifier will help keep the white from staining. It will still get dingy but you can then clean it easily with Mother's cleaner wax and follow up with a detail spray to get the rest of the wax off as the plasti dip likes to hold on to it. I usually only do a section at a time and don't leave the wax on long. I haven't tried with out using the glossifier over the white and have no idea what it'll do with out it. It's like when i painted my wheels white I top coated with 2-3 coats of clear just to make it easier to clean.
