REMOVING Plasti-Dip The EASY Way On My CHEAP Volvo S60

  • Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
  • My $450 2001 Volvo S60 2.4t wheels looked terrible and fixing that is the first thing on my to-do list! (Forget the massive oil leak right?) I've left Plasti-dip on plenty of previous cars because I've tried peeling it before and have never had any luck. A comment on the the first video mentioned Dip Dissolver and a quick Google search turned up Goo Gone Automotive as being the exact same product for far less money. Let's take a quick trip to O'reillys, pick some up, and find out if it actually works.

    New sub from Tyler / Hoovie's Garage. I've been doing RUclips for years, but never really took the leap to making it my only income. I got fired earlier this year from a company in SF I helped build from the ground up, and was forced to make RUclips work. I have almost 200K subscribers now. You'll do just fine man. Great channel! Best wishes from Oklahoma.

    I bought a 2.4t as an 'airport car' about 5 years ago. It cost not much. Admittedly I had to get the suspension mainly replaced; the 'consumable' components. I've got rid of several other cars since, the airport car has stayed. The 2.4t is an unsung hero totally excellent car.

  • @Viva-la-Maquina
    @Viva-la-Maquina 5 лет назад +2

    Good job on the wheels. When pressure cleaning with an applied chemical on the surface, you get better results if you go slowly from the bottom up. If you start from the top, you rinse the gg. Also press the trigger often, as the flow of water cools the pump. Running the engine in idle without pressing the trigger may cook your pump unless it has a clutch. Love your show!

    oh the skateboarding action in the beginning is cool man :D. Picked up an 03 F150 with leftover plastidip on it but only in the spoke holes and bolt holes, tons and tons of baked on brake dust so I hit em with 1500 wet sand and they look way way better. One more time around with 2500 and maybe even 3500 wet sanding and some around the lip of them and theyre gonna be hot wheels. Wet sanding only because of the brake dust that was probably four years old or something. Cool videos you put together man

  • @jayb7813
    @jayb7813 5 лет назад +34

    Judging by how powerful that pressure washer is. That Goo gone didn't do much. Would have been better to buy the remover and be done in 10 minutes!

    • @catfisher420
      @catfisher420 5 лет назад +7

      The remover is called your fingers! plastidip is made to be peeled off. He would have been better off buying another can of plastidip to spray on another layer to make the plastidip easier to peel. The thicker the dip the easier it is to peel off.

    • @dan_6915
      @dan_6915 5 лет назад +4

  • @teknopony
    @teknopony 5 лет назад

    For adhesives on most materials, I cycle through Goo, WD-40, and Isopropyl. One of those will typically do the business.
    On glass, WD-40 is often the best. Goo is really great on particular adhesives, but almost useless on a fair bit I deal with.
    If not on plastic, I may try acetone, but it's tricky as it evaporates fast enough that you think it's working, then the adhesive seizes up again. It also destroys a fair number of plastics.

    OMG you had me cringing most of the time. You Really, Really shouldn't let the pressure washer run a long time without pulling the trigger on the wand. If you are going to spray GG on the wheels and wait - turn off the pressure washer. When the washer is running and the trigger not pulled the pump is in bypass mode. Bypass mode is only meant for a few seconds NOT a few minutes. You can destroy the pump and have to buy a new pump or a whole new Pressure washer. Save yourself a lot of money and turn the thing off when your not actually using it,
