No, just wash with shampoo. No scrubbing either - I have my wing mirrors done to test it out, works pretty well, no rips or lifting and cleans pretty well with just warm water and car shampoo.

Same with wrapping. Lots of companies that won't do sills etc.

Theres a local place to me that does all the footballers cars that will take your car apart piece by piece and would probably wrap the fuel tank if you asked nicely....

Couldn't you get a Compressor, an airgun, and a bit of hose for that much and end up with some better kit that you can expand on/get bits for?

i think the plastidip only works in their machine?? might be wrong?

I would say have it done professionally mate, its a lot harder than you think! I went up a few times when mine was being done and lots of prep still and plasti dip isn't cheap as you need quite a bit to do a full car! I had mine done in satin white first, in the first pics at the Pod. Then had the pearlescent top coat put on, this is a must really so much easier to keep clean now, shown in the second 2 pics:

surely its not that difficult! i would think getting hold of pre thind dip could be difficult! car looks epic by the way! did they do inside the doors and such? the guys im talking would want about £350 i reckon and when i asked about having the glossifier added he told me it didnt make much difference
