WD40 dissolves plastidip...

I recently discovered, after a failed experiment, that WD40 sprayed on Plastidip and left for only a few minutes dissolves it very quickly. Hope someone will find it helpful both in preventing accidents (for example, be careful when using WD enthusiastically in your engine bay if you have dipped grilles or panels) and as a cleaning tip.

Thanks man. I dipped a few things on my car already and it looks nice.
