    I did my wheels in January and after I wash it, they look like the day I applied it.

    Same here, wheels still look great

    If you spray some of that tire shine foam on your dipped rims, it gives them a really nice shine for a few weeks ;)

    I've done two vehicles now. An Infinity G37 and a Dodge Charger. We did the wheels on both cars. We pulled the wheels off and then Armor All'd the tires real good. Do not get it on the rims!!!. You can spray the entire wheel and tire without taping or worrying about over spray. When you're done just catch a piece off the tire and it pulls right off the tire and stays on the rim. It's like Magic! Enjoy!

    I take back what I said above about the tire shine foam..
    about two weks after I put that on, the plastidip looks crappy and is peeling in multiple places

    thats the only thing I can think that caused it.
    so I would recommend not using it
    use the plastidip glossifier instead

    Good to know. I'll take precautions from now on.

    So I've had my plastidip on for over 2 years now and have driven 35k miles. Other than a few dings from rocks and hard bug impacts it's still holding up great. No peeling or fading.
