Megguires on plasti dip
So my plasti dip was looking faded after being on for almost 4 months and i really didnt want to re spray so i wanted to try something to see if it would have any effect on it. I had some Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner and condition laying around that i use on my seats from time to time and makes them look fresh but not oily looking so i decided to try it on the plasti dip to see if it would work. Im not sure how it will last or handle being exposed to the elements but i will say it did make the black more rich looking and doesnt feel oily. I will see how long this will last and keep it updated
Here are some photos, just gave the car a bath so ignore the nasty rotors Before the Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner and condition After putting on Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather cleaner and condition Then after i dressed the tire Looks a lot darker and looks like a fresh coat.

You could try Adams VRT as well. It makes everything darker but not greasy looking.

The wheel faces look good so now address the barrels for a great finished look.

other than the rotors, you might want to clean and clear your brembo's...your car and wheels are clean and your rotors clean up after braking but faded calipers stand out. I see it everywhere car shows and on the street. Its a real eye sore and will complete the look.

Damn nobody mentioned the wheel wells? I would use some of that APC in my wheel wells and also tires with a nylon brush. That is my routine every time I do my wheels and a good APC will work wonders on those wheels! I usually finish them off with Adams SVRT on the rims and tires.
