    I sold tires with wheels - BFG AT's with about 9/32"s of tread depth. Got just shy of $500. :)

    Fender flares look good!!....cleaned mine with extra strength "Magic Eraser"...worked well but my lower valence was beyond M.E. repair(too worn) so when I blacked out my front end I used P.Dip on the lower valence...seems ok but the winter may kill it!

    thanks man. youll be surprised how resilient this shit is. as long as you dont physically rub it on something, it should last winter.

    it gives matte blacks their "finish" back in a sense. I have used this a lot on my front bumper but don't like to have to go through it all the time after washing. It's not bad as well as not expensive either, but just having to put it on again and again ... you get kind of tired of it, plus the expense adds up in the long run

    Thanks for the tips guys...I may try it!

    The magic eraser is good and then use "303 Aerospace" protectant after

    How do you get the plastidip our of the middle of letters of the badges? I don't wannt scratch the paint. Although, I have an indigo ink one, so I guess I could just leave it in there and it wouldn't be very noticable.

    use a tooth pick to pick at the dip inside the letters.

    Damn, I am seeing a lot of the 'newer' style badges.. I was trying to spray my 1998 badges and it was a pain getting the dip to not tear off parts of the badge as well.. giving it another go today when it is warmer.

    What is the best way to clean the wheels with the plast dip, do you think wheel cleaner would make the paint come off?
