Sure, cards aren't required, but they make cleanup a lot easier.

LOL well at least not for me, if the tire is super clean, then yes it could be a problem. That's why when dipping I only focus on the wheel

cleaning the plasti dip or cleaning it off the tires?

you should look at brake dust pro. you dont even have to touch your wheels and it takes 2 minutes and a water hose.

Griott's heavy duty wheel cleaner also works well for cleaning dipped wheels.

cleaning the remaining bits off when you peel it off. I ended up using tar remover, still took ages to get every last bit

I did blaze orange without realizing I should have done white first. I used 5 cans on 3 wheels and they don't look very good. 2 coats of white and 2 coats of orange made the 4th wheel look much better.
