    Should I plasti dip my runner if I'm running in mud often or wanting to give it a good wash? Was wondering if it stays on well through all terrain types and elements that may scratch hit or come in contact with the dip. Was wanting to do the valance, break calipers, bumper, roof racks, and possibly the rims

    Remove rear side bumpers, deck plate mod, relocate rear window switch to dash, removed rear wiper
    Check youtube videos for testing of this product. From what I've seen it will work for your application.

    I've watched a few. Some say it works and others say it's not that great. Was kinda looking for someone who's done it here. Thanks for replying though!

    You definitely have to let it get a good cure before you go and scrub it and such. At first couple days it still had a rubber texture. After about a good few weeks to a month it was plastic feeling pretty slick too. I did my front lower valance on my bumper. Also my wheels. Everything is back to original now. The wheels were dipped for about 9 months.
