How does it hold up in winter on wheels? North east winters. If ice freezes up on the wheels will it cause it to peel of if the ice is kicked off? Salt? Whatever?
Also, how do you clean your wheels with this stuff on it?
Also, has anyone used the glossifier, or know its long term effects?
Thanks for any feedback.

Many people use plasti-dip to protect the wheels from winter road conditions. Below is a good test of the dip on both the car and the wheels. The key is to apply it correctly and use sufficient base coat and top coats.
I suggest you have a look at https://www.dipyourcar.com/ and you will find great vids on how to apply, what to expect, and the unlimited uses for plasti-dip colors, etc. Fonzi also has tutorials on using things like glossifier and pearlizer. He is NOT on the list of vendors for NICO yet (no plasti-dip retailers are), but he's a great guy and his company has excellent customer service. He has colors and products no other plasti-dip supplier has. I am recommending his company from personal experience only and I am NOT associated in any way with his company.

Below is a vid of a guy who does off-roading in his jeep. It's a long one but it details what the wheels went through, how he fixed a scrape in the dip, and how the dip is safe even for high pressure washing.
