    Well, I just got my supply of this stuff today, we'll see if its all that is cracked up to be.

    Well, I just unpacked it. It tells me in 6 languages what it does. It tells me in 7 languages about safety, but I don't have a bloody clue on how to use it. Where are the instructions??

    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    ROWHARD--- For the official manufacturer's instructions, do a "search" for: ALTERNATIVE GATORBACK ,then specifically look at thread posting #30.

    I don't know how to add a direct link to that specific thread, but the above "search" route will immediately get you there. Aim High!!!

    Think a foam type paint brush would work OK for application?

    Um, I don't think so from my experience, but I can't say for sure. I used a terrycloth rag which worked pretty well. I bristle-type paint brush would probably work well.

    I would try to get any other products off if they are freshly applied.

    I'm gonna buy some of this stuff too, even though my cladding still looks like new. My advice for "prepping" is BrakeKleen (in the red can) - it will remove EVERYTHING that is on there, and leave ZERO residual - you'll have a perfect palette for this product, IMHO...

    Wouldn't BrakeKleen be a little too harsh for the cladding? If that is the stuff that is made to clean gunk off of engine blocks it may melt the cladding. I would try it on a hidden area first to make sure it doesn't do any damage.
