    I use a scrub brush and degreaser. If it is chipped or faded badly then I would use bumper black or BBQ black paint. Just mask everything off well, especially the cladding.

    Works for me too!!

    OK, sorry Ashley, I know that wasn't helpful. Yours is way lighter than mine, so the BBQ paint seems like the best idea to me. Maybe your road salt/stuff erodes/corrodes it more? But mine grew up it's whole life in VA...

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    A light sanding and a can of flat black paint (with a rust inhibiter)...easily touched up in the future.
