How do you guys get the brake dust out from the plastidipped rim? Mine was black and now it has a dusty/dirty black look to it... I'm unable to clean it out!

Love this thread, thanks for all the posts everyone

It's so intriguing to me seeing how popular a matte finish is on cars now.., I have always been into matte finish on cars, for as long as I can remember, so it's just cool to see so many people doing it now. Love the pics!

Brake dust pro works well even on matte white.

Roughly 30lbs per wheel. This design is more for trucks and domestics, but I think it looks clean on the g.

anyone use just matte clear or metalizer on anything? I find the coverage very thin and not that durable. slight friction seems to rub it off. I might have to go back to using full colours Also parts of the dip was lifting off the wheel corners

Maybe try a couple base coats of matte first? And then throw on a couple extra coats of Metalizer.

This poor Integra's paint was in pretty sad shape but after we dipped it, it came out quite nice actually!

It should be, I've goo gone'd pretty much the entire hood and both doors of the Prelude back in May without any issues.
