Really contemplating a wrap in the future, but having a few wrapped pieces on the truck now, I know that it doesn't take a pressure washer well. I've had a few outings where without using one of those handy devices cleanup would be impossible.

I've used my pressure washer plenty of times. I don't hold it right up against the vinyl but I've never had issues. It's a 3000 psi (I think?) gas pressure washer.

I think it might be good to note that we know someone that had his truck plastidipped for about a week before he pulled it off because of the staining after Havoc. Hell with some of the crazy environments we get into, Night Raptor has a couple spots of staining on the vinyl, not to mention all the pinstripping. In Arkansas we came close to going through the vinyl in one spot. I think plastidip would only work well with light or no offroading or depending on your local mud and tree situation, etc... Not knocking the product at all, just want to make people aware that it isn't going to hold up the same as vinyl.

Agreed plasti dip will not take the same abuse as the vinyl will

Dan we use a pressure washer on our trucks, we even spray them off at the car wash. Only problem I've seen is the roof on night raptor had started to peel up because its a 12 with the stupid ini roof, so now the automatic car wash is making it worse because the spray nozels are so close.

We've used car washes and pressure washers multiple times and no problems. But our roof is an outty

The plasti dip looks great, but I'm more of a set it and forget it kinda guy.... I got enough other mods to keep after to have to worry about redoing the plasti dip.

Suppose in my most recent experience with a pressure washer it might've been turned up a bit high trying to peal off the hardened caliche after the mud fest at Raptor X. Tore a few holes in some small wrapped things.
