Ganz...Calfee builds some very sweet road bikes! I was unpleasently surprised by his TT/tri frame...I was expecting something more than a cookie cutter design. I also dig his bamboo frames. Have heard they have an amazing ride.
P.S. not ALL carbon frames are repaired by Craig though he is quite capable. My Felt just came back from some warranty work from the Felt plant in Irvine, Ca.
:ot: :hj:

Sorry KAT, I will put some VooDoo on it if you want me to!
I need to find some of this 303 for my rack. It could definitely use some TLC. The aluminum is oxidized looking and the rubber as well.
Wonder if they have it at autozone or pepboys?
Looks like Cabela's will ship it to store for free, if you have one of those close...16 oz $14.99. A lot of marine and RV supply places often have it also.Quote:

I bought the 32 oz spray and it will last a lifetime...I've used it a ton and it's maybe 1/4 gone...I'd say go for the smaller 8 oz or 16 oz ...but then again, you may go crazy with the stuff like I am and spray everything you possibly can! Even see a user on Amazon included a pic of his engine bay. I've detailed my engine bay twice, check out my ROM pics.

Here's 16 oz $12.50 + $6.99, not too bad.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good try KAT with the subliminal quote manipulation...
I'm one of those people that thinks a VX just loses a certain amount of testosterone when there is no rack.
I'll check some local marine shops and see whats there... The closest Cabela's is like 2.5 hours. ugh.
Thanks for the info though. Definitely a big help.
Damn! I think he's on to me...:_brickwalQuote:

Hey Kat,
so, is that 303 stuff a cleaner as well, or just a sealer/protectant. I do have some lighter streaks on the cladding, but nothing that l would call oxidation. I guess what I'm asking is: would you just buy the 303 or would you clean it first with something else?
Sprayed directly on very dirty, grimmy roof rack parts (plastic end caps and the towers especially), wiped down with a rag, resprayed them and let them sit for a few hours. By then, it loosened dirt of any type, so I could just wipe it away AND it seemed to absorb into the plastic much more than just when sprayed and wiped it off. I heavily sprayed the inside of the end caps and cleaned them with Q-tips...so Joshi and VxMtb you'll be really impressed if you look inside there! :laugho:Quote:

Think it would work very well on cladding! Except I don't know if it will remove prior products (B2B etc...)
