My take was... If you resist comparing dip to "real" paint and accept it as a different protective coating for the car body, dip is very impressive. However, when you try and tart dip up you invite comparisons that it simply cannot win. All of the trick dip finishes were either too garish, too sparkly or too shiny and looked like a paint job gone slightly sour. The plain dip is more honest about what it is and by not promising much ends up delivering more. |

My intent of my question was trying to find a solution to cleaning the white matte, not trying to make it look like a true paint job.
Why not just get a can of white dip and spray an area, like behind the front wheel, that is known to get dirty and see how it does? You risk nothing since it peels right off and it shouldn't take more than a week or so (assuming you regularly drive the car) to see what happens. Seriously people, I can't stress enough how bloody simple this stuff is to work with. Just wash, dry and paint. Peel off at will. For @$8, you can painlessly answer your questions and address your concerns. |
Just a bit of info...
Last weekend I drizzled some brake fluid on one of the dipped test panels and let it sit outside all week. Washed with soapy water yesterday and it left no discoloration or surface degradation, no sign at all. Need to try gasoline next... |

I've done various pieces like interior trim panels in my subaru. The stuff has held up 5+ years of daily driver abuse -sean |
