I need to look up your recommended 303 Protectant, too and see what that's about, too.

My cladding seems to be a bit on the lighter/gray side no matter what I did to it....I'm convinced there are some different hues of cladding that came out of the factory.....The R/R only slightly darkened my cladding. Rowhard had a pic of his bumper 1/2 done with R/R and it definitely darkened it.

My 1st coat of R/R was nice and low satin finish. When I applied the 2nd full coat (like 9 months later), it resulted in a higher shine finish, not a gloss finish, but definitely shinier...I didn't care for it but am stuck....luckily the sheen has "toned" down a bit since application in April.

Most importantly, if you're going to wheel it and EVER brush up against anything like bushes, I would NOT recommend R/R.....it chips off just like a ladies clear nail polish coating wherever it's struck by bushes.
I "think" the front bumper is ALSO chipping off due to road debris/abrasions from high speed/highway driving.....so I'm really disappointed with that aspect. I haven't yet attempted reapplying it to the front, but I think it'll blend very well. I'll post a pic of my front bumper to show how it's chipping/peeling off.
My single coating on the hood insert is holding up just fine, looks great.

303 protectant...I worship that stuff!! Get some!
