    When properly cleaned and conditioned, your cladding should look like this:



    The cladding will fade over time to sun exposure, so if you want it to look nice and dark, start treating it regularly with one of the products recommended here. Personally, I use Stoner Trime Shine after every hand washing and not only does it make my cladding look like above, after several treatments it makes it very easy to clean and it stays pretty dark even when dry and dirty.

    Yeah, the one thing about Stoner Trim Shine is that it will attract dust.

    Yup - but they're all the wrong color
    The one that looks like it just rolled off the assembly line belongs to CobraJet. The one that has an attitude is mine (I don't treat my cladding everyday like he does - mine hadn't been done for about a month).

    Now I'm truly laughing out loud.........


    Back on Topic....I sometimes use Maguiars Tire Shine on mine if I want the shiny & wet look....but....it definately attracts dust & bugs when first applied....however...if you wash it off it looks pretty stout for at least a couple of weeks (ungaraged).

    Just after application:



    After washing & sitting outside for a period of time:
