Plasti Dip on Interior Door Panels?
.
I have never used Plasti Dip spray. It seems to be used as semi-permanent coating on wheels, rockers, grills, etc.
Could it be sprayed on the corner of the interior door panel, and then safely removed later?
Our Durango is only a couple weeks old, and already there are some shoe marks on the door panel. . It can't be me, it must be my wife.
(she drives it mostly)
From the threads I have read, it is removable from "hard" surfaces, but I wonder if it could be removed from a textured plastic surface like the door panels?
.
edit: fast forward one week . . I bought some plasti dip to test, and applied some to a textured plastic tool case . . IMHO it is too permanent (hard to remove from a textured surface).

This Plasti Dip craze just amazes me
Yes if you must spray this garbage on your car it will come off. I just dont see the point of using a 3.00 product on a 40k car to try and make it look "better"
Just look for the correct cleaning materials and get rid of the scuff marks. You think it looks bad now wait till the scuff marks are in that plastic dip crap.

This thought is not to make it look better, it is to protect it. There are no cleaners that will take scratches off the door panel. . . As marked up as this is already, I am sure in a few months it will be scratched, not just dirty.
If I try it, and it looks like garbage, then I would remove immediately. . . I guess that is part of my question, - -> Is it "completely" removable? I do not want to damage the door panel by applying it.

If your scratching the door panel then your the one doing something wrong. You either need to bend your leg more and stocp touching the damn thing or open the door more. Its really not that hard. plain and simple JUST DONT TOUCH IT lol
To answer you question since everyone seems to want to give their opinion on the product rather than doing so, it is completely removable when applied to a solid surface. Just need to peel it off after it completely dries. On my Ram 1500 I coated my nerf bars, and would step on it all the time to access the bed in the rear and it never scratched it and it never peeled. Just do several coats.
I think your best bet to protect the door panel, if scratching gouging the plastic is a concern, would be to go get a piece of 18 gauge stainless, cut it to fit, smooth the edges, and adhere it with some 3M double sided tape. This might cost you $20 to do both sides (fronts).

Wow, all I wanted to know is if a $6 can of product could protect the door panels of the vehicle I just paid $40k for. . . At first in this thread, I am basically called an idiot/clutz. . Thanks to the last few posts, it is nice to know that some here who actually want to try to help.
FYI . . I do a fair amount of volunteer work with various youth groups. Those guys can be rough on a vehicle. I am simply hoping to protect my wife's baby a little.
Another note: It seems to me that the design of these doors makes it particularly easy bang shoes into, with that cup-holder bulge. If you don't have marks, you are lucky.
. . . Also, if you do not have a gravel driveway, and your wife's company a gravel parking lot, you are lucky. - - > That grit on shoes can wreak havoc.
