    Since you're in under the scunder of the Texan sun also, had any effeicts of brittleness pop up with your cladding treatments?

    I tried a meguiars plastic treatment, and not only did it fade my test spot, but it feels oxidized like when you scratch a five year old lawn chair.

    STP Brand - "Son of a Gun" plastic/vinyl protectant has UV inhibitors to help repell the glaring affects of the Sun. Check out their products at the STP website.

    Be interesting to see how it does after the next washing or two. I have used Armorall in the past as well, but was not satisfied with having to reapply after only one or two washings.

    I'm using Back to Black now and have found that it holds up after 4-5 washings and gives that same great look.

    Armourall plus dust/dirt trails equals a big dirt sticking mess!

    I use the Meguiars Natural Shine applied with a damp lint free rag. Lasts 3-4 months in the desert heat, does not become a dirt magnet and has a nice natural look.
