Moody Blue,
If you read this can you send me a PM or let me know when you empty your inbox? I'd be interested in a set of Ecoboost badges like Bucketman's. Thanks.

I've seen a few people with chipping rims on here and a few in the area I live in. I saw a guy in a Canadian Tire parking lot trying to use WD-40 to peel it off his rims. He said he used the glossifier and that it would chip off in small parts and from what I've seen it starts to chip around the perimeter of the rim. Also I've seen guys do their grilles and have them chip fairly easily. I guess my biggest problem with the glossifier is that it makes the plastidip hard and brittle. And one of the main reasons why I use plastidip is that's malleable and peels off if I don't like it anymore. Just my 2 cents tho...

I dipped and glossified my grill and decided to remove it from the mesh of the grill right afterwards. It was time consuming but I got it all off no problem. A bottle of goo gone made it doable.
What really sucks about the glossifier is how damn near impossible it is to lay it down even. The real reason to not use it is because it will probably look like uneven sh** if you're a perfectionist

As a matter of fact I did my wheels anthracite with Glossifier. I didn't like the result of the Glossifier so I tried spraying the dip with Turtle Wax Tire Coat which later looked like crap and was impossible to remove so I peeled everything off and it came off with no issue whatsoever.
Maybe things have changed since I did mine, I don't know.

Yeah who knows, to each their own tho either way. I love the look of a polished black. I think maybe the stuff you've been using is malleable.
Oh well...
Now Mr Moody, take my money and PM me! Lol
