    K, why what's the difference? It looks like AutoDip comes out with more gloss? Does it just not hold up good? Thanks!

    Curious myself. I like the gloss look of Autodip and that with proper application it can look like vinyl. I prefer the gloss look so having one can of Autodip vs. two cans PlastiDip is a plus.

    I’d probably use PlastiDip if my main purpose was protection though. Autodip seems more for aesthetics. But I don’t have experience with Autodip so I can’t say for sure.

    I tried it before I did my wheels. I like that the auto did have a little more gloss then the other not much but u can see it. The top ke Clogging. Had two cans and both did it. I have used plasti before and just went with that because i didn’t want that to happen when doing the wheels. I used one can of plasti per wheel and have a can per wheel of the clear coat stuff

    The only dip I’ve tried is the kind you scoop up with chips.

    Np o and make sure it’s not to humid out side to. Not sure where u live but it says it on the can. And the humidity does mess it up. I tested it on a day that it was 65% here in Huston.
