At Long Last... New Tires and Rims

[Mile High VX]

So we end up paying about the same as shipping and got a nice weekend away instead.

Hats off to you for an excellent choice...

What?!! I think his cladding looks phenomenal! It's so nice & dark. I just did mine with Refinish/Restorer 2 days ago and it's a bit too shiny satin, and my cladding is several shades lighter than his as is, so I'm really admiring his cladding!

Aahh Sue - if you was using Mequiars Gold to detail the cladding, his looks like it is just about ready to be done again.
Need to do it every 6 - 8 weeks though.

I'll have to try that out... can you find it in the local AutoZone / Advance Auto or do you have to order it online?

Down under you can buy it in any autoparts store.

Don't know where you would go for it.

If you can get it at O'reillys in Fargo, you should be able to get it almost anywhere...

I'd hate to think that Fargo was ahead of the curve......

This is what you're looking for...

Hey Kat...

I can't figure out where the differences in lightness seem to come from when applying the refinish restorer...

When I put a product on mine it can be light as hell but it always darkens WAY up once the product starts to sink in a bit.

I know you said you washed your cladding really well, but it makes me think that some cladding isn't absorbing like others...

weird.

My cladding just never looked dark, check out my early gallery pics when I first got it. Weird too is that my cladding didn't look dry & parched when I got it, it was in real good condition, it's just a lighter gray I guess.....

Before I applied the R/R, I had used Stoner trim, B2B, some liquid in a neon lime green spray bottle (2000 something), the horrible grape smelling Mequiars Gold Endurance Tire gel, the ICE product, even Windex!....all made it very slightly darker, but nothing like vt mavs or many others. When I applied the R/R, it acted the same, just darkened a tad.

Recall, my gasoline stain refused to budge also, despite trying like 5 or 6 remedies that others had used successfully.....starting to make me wonder if the PO did something weird to my cladding
So now that I've properly applied the R/R, it's done, that stuff is a hard permanent coating. I just wish I'd tried some shoe polish before I first applied the R/R last year, that may have worked, I don't know.

Oh that's what you meant, I already have a bottle in my garage! Also known as grape jelly I believe. That's what I use on my tires and it works great, much better than previous Meguiar's and Turtle Wax products I've tried. (See my latest pics for examples of the shine - looks just as good today as when I applied it on Sunday.) Never tried it on the cladding, I would think it would be darker but WAY too shiny for my taste. The B2B shines some at first, but if you work it in really well it fades to a nice black matte finish.

Very Nice..
