If you find this kind of shoddy work, be sure to take a few pictures of it and also point ti out to the owner so he knows you know it's there before you even start to work on the car. If there's a sunroof, look around the gap for the rubber or fuzzy seal to be creamed-out with polish or wax. Look around any components, especially if they have a gasket under them or a seem with plastic, vinyl or rubber trim. One of the thing I do before taking a job is to inspect the car for the other guy's wax in the cracks, often times this will be from the owner of the car that you're standing there talking to. This is called, TOGW or The Other Guy's Wax This is why many detailer will take the extra step to tape off rubber and plastic components just to avoid having to remove splatter that lands on these components by accident. It's never going to be easy removing the other guy's splatter. Have some stiff nylon brushes on had of different designs to help agitate dried residue.

One other question that I have is related to ISO alcohol.what is that used for? I see some guys talking about using it in a 50/50 mix with water. What can I use that will remove dried polish/compounds from porous mateials?Ģ. There is still some white left in some of the pores.ġ. PB spray and rinse wheel cleaner was working the best, but nothing- even extreme scrubbing on the rockers- was getting it all. I tried many different cleaning agents to remove it, but it was really dried into the pores of the plastic trim and the linex covered rockers. I worked on a vehicle this weekend that had dried polish or compound on exterior trim and on its Linex-ed rockers. You can see the guys at doing it with pure solvent, but it works just as well with straight Plasti-Dip.Ok. If you do loose some dip (I had some stuck to the tape) just spray what is left, rub it gently with your fingertip for a bit (not too long or you'll roll it up cause it gets sticky), then respray it with a fresh coat or two.I should have taken a video, it was actually pretty amazing. There were times I was pulling off the masking and I had a big section starting to peel off, I just sprayed the dip and it literally melted back to where it should have been. Out of the can, this stuff has a lot of thinner/solvent in it. If that's the case, just hit the mask line with a bit of plasti-dip. If you've let sit for days the Plasti-Dip will want to peel off with the masking tape.Grill, Wheels, Bumpers, handles, badges, mirrors.Mitigate rust with Naval Jelly / Rust Reformer.Mask (necessary if indoors, good idea if outside).Spray Can Trigger (the Can Gun 1 is AWESOME - 4 finger trigger!).Paper drop cloth (to protect the floor from overspray).Plastic painter's sheeting (to protect the garage from overspray).Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer (paint the jellied spots).Naval Jelly (rust remover, paint destroyer).Oven Cleaner (for brake dust - don't use on nice wheels!).
