My brother's car is completely covered in plasti dip, and it's been like that for over a year, with no deterioration. He cleans it with a nylon bristle brush and simple green, as that is what people say to use, but I would never use simple green on a car!
2 months ago I plasti dipped my mom's NA red. It starts off kinda tacky/rubbery, but after time it becomes more slick like textured plastic or vinyl. I haven't washed it yet () but first I'll try regular car wash soap. If it doesn't work well enough, I'll use dish soap.

I plasti-dipped my Volvo XC70 winter wheels. They take a beating in Colorado. Four coats of anthracite and two of gloss. Note that you need five coats or so to get it to Peel off again. Too thin and it is a mess. After a year, they still look great.
Thinking of doing the phone dial wheels. I'm not a fan of the whole vehicle matte look. Though, my VFR800 is matte black, and looks good.
I plasti-dipped my roof because it had faded to a terrible white, and I plasti-dipped my side view mirrors to cover rock chips. It's help up very well, the color matches pretty well, and it really improved the look of the car on a small budget.
That was almost 2 years ago and about 5000 miles ago. Now I want to plasti-dip my phone dials black, and get some fresh tint.
Here's my car a few years ago. I've always wondered what it would be like to apply plasti-dip in the specific areas shown below. I think you could accentuate the 5 spokes. Best part is, it's removable. In this picture, i just edited the pic on my computer.
