Needing help reviving my VX

[VX KAT]

B2B worked great only had dust problems on dirt roads. The main person with this complaints lives on a dirt road so Duh!!!

Hey Circ! I resemble that remark! Just cuz I live on a dirt road doesn't mean I didn't want my cladding to look good! Duh! I went with Refinish/Restore and solved the problem!

I use Armorall on my cladding and it looks good through a few washings, but am thinking about using Gatorback in the medium gray.

I have used the Megaurs headlight refinish kit and it works great, but it's not long lasting because there is no protectant for the cleared lens. There is a new product you can get at Wal-Mart, come in a "foil" pouch with paper, cleaner, and protectant. The video on youtube looks good and it's $20. I may try it this Summer.

Well, first off, welcome to the addiction. To bad you can't do a question mark on license plates. your user name would be a good one.

Headlights: I had some real bad crazing and the shipper damaged them so I did like VXKat and sanded. I wrote a thread called zen and the art of headlight polishing or something like that here. It's under the how to column. Talk to a few shops in your town that do tinting and see if you can get them to cover your headlights with Lexan after you get them right. I did that to mine 3 odd years ago and no crazing plus they are bullet proof now.

Cladding: many products out there which I have tried most. In the end, I just use one grand ERV. I get it here, buy the one gallon size. http://store.carcareonline.com/onegr...pumpspray.aspx Takes me about 5 minutes to go around the VX after a wash and dry and it looks pretty sharp when done.

Hood insert: Many options again. One I tried before I scored a carbon fiber insert was turtle wax color wax in black. Couple of coats and it looks pretty fine. 7 odd bucks from amazon if you can't find it local.

Here is the last post I remember with a good review of a refinished insert.

Good advice...

With not too much effort, these two areas will answer a lot of questions that new owners typically have...the same one's I asked, not that many years ago...
