Haven't done it myself but I would imagine a pressure washer will take that right off without ruining the finish. Good luck.

Try to peel the rest off by hand then you can take a micro fiber towel and rub the wheel to get all the little excess off. Next time you use plastidip make sure you apply about 5 -6 coats so it is thick and then it should come off in one piece.
