How do I go about cleaning and keeping my hood insert from fading and looking crappy? Do I put a coat of car wax on it, same as Id use on the metal body or do I use the same products that I use to mantain my cladding, rubber vinyl cleansers and protectents.
The cladding advice u guys gave was so helpfull and Im on the case, just put a coat of vinyl uv protectant on it and it looks great. Thanks again!
Well, when I had the stock insert, I used some Turtle Wax Color Cure Car Polish Black. Got it from Amazon dot com. 7 odd dollars a bottle. It is a colored wax to hide scratches and stuff. It worked pretty good. Then just keep it waxed up to protect it from UV. Wear gloves.
Hi Hugoart76...yer VX aint black....

Yea I know...STFU jo! :rolleyes:
For yer hood inserrt....use any old tire shine....leave it a couple of hours...
...then buff to a matt finish.
It works well.

I used audi concourse dressing on mine... A product similar to standard armorall, but not as greeeezy, and not as "wet look" It just makes panels look ultra clean with a bit of luster.
Worked great on my hood insert. First time using it. I also used it on my cladding.

Where did you get the dressing? Link?
Best,
I just did a search and can't find the backpack anymore...
I've had it for a while, got it as a gift, when I had my audi.
From the research I've found, it's rebadged Eagle One brand products. So I'd guess it's whatever their Armor All like product is.
