Cladding Restoration...so Easy & Dope!

[cdvntx]

I have done it just once and it has lasted a week so far. I'll see what happens after a wash.

Looking to score?

It means "I am a middle aged white guy trying to look like a cool cat"

He apparently used "Eagle One Shine Gel" (mentioned that detail in the "title" of his post, and when you quote it, it does not carry over). This thread seemed to be more focused on the more "permanent" type cladding products like GatorBack, TS-1, Restore/Refinish, Showroom New.

So IVI, how's this product do in rain, or how long does it last? Does it collect much dust?

It lasted many weeks with weekly automatic car car washings. It goes on quick. It does not collect dust.

But how long does it last? That's really the point of GB, Refinish Restorer, Showroom New, etc.

I have some questions about Showroom New's Permanence. IF I rub the cladding with a dry or dry-ish terry cloth towel......I get some black residue. A recent polish of the vx that hit the door handles (by accident) removed some of the black. Wet terry cloth, towel, sponge....anything wet....doesnt remove the black.

It still look a million times better than it did. Just some thoughts...

Just wondered if anyone that used that Gatorback on their cladding, can say how long it has lasted for them? Or any other so-called permanent fixs?

I used the Forever Black and it lasts about 6-12 months, does chip off from road sands but found that lacquer thinner removes it or at least smooths out the edes of the chips and then I re-applied the FB, seems to streak in hot weather applications, had to do many coats before it finally looked really great... dark and very shiny black.

Someone had suggested that Black spray paint for plastics ( Rusoleums? ) and I stripped the old FB off and tried it... not as shiny and does seem to attract dust, so I may cover it with FB.
