I'd think starting off with strong soap and water to get any bug/road tar off, then on to some de-natured alcohol. And a desicion, it you want it permanant or peelable. Perm, start with some scruf pads (green or red) and then shoot it after. peelable just shoot it after cleaning. It's the big benifit of Plastidip, being able to peel it to either re-apply, or remove if you (or if selling) don't want it any more...

They say clean the surface really well first then light coats. When I did my wheels I took them off and sprayed on one heavy coat. I didn't clean them and they held up fine and looked fine as well. Just be careful if you go with a heavy coat not to go too heavy or you will have the runs.

takes some time to do. 30 min wait inbetween coats then you have to let it set up for at least 4 hours out of direct sunlight. thats why i took mine off when i did it. i just let it sit overnight in my basement

I grabbed 3 cans, cleaned it up real good and did 4 coats to get the finish they way I liked it. I've taken it to the car wash a few times since and never a problem when using the gun with pressure on it. Also if you decide you don't like it just, start peeling it off and you're good to go.
