[QUOTE="humms, post: 708416, member: 41986"] yes i did. i washed the wheel, even used an old toothbrush to remove dirt on harder to reach area of the wheels. plastidip sells a pre-dip liquid, but i don't think it is necessary. just normal washing will do. best to use some brake dust remover or wheel cleaner to thoroughly rid it of dirt. make sure you dry it entirely especially at the wheel cap area! refer to my close up photo of the dipped wheel cap, you can see some water retention at the wheel cap seam, make it harder to peel the unwanted dipping off the wheel cap. if it's entirely dry, you can easily peel it off the wheel cap. having said that, i actually recommend the wheels to be removed from the car so that you can check for unpainted area and you can easily remove the wheel cap for better finishes there.
