Monstaliner Cladding installation

[vt_maverick]

Bit of a thread jack, but I found out last week that I probably won't be able to use Showroom New because the body shop that fixed the front bumper damage after the accident painted the front cladding to make it match. It's a good match but I have to think the paint will mess with the dye absorption. It certainly made the Meguiar's trim shine stuff look bad. Looks like Gatorback for me which really isn't a bad option.

You can try the SN on a few spots to see if it will match correctly and just use some mineral spirits to remove the dye if it looks bad.

Seems like every product has a downside. Gatorback or Monstaliner can chip/crack while Showroom New doesn't hold up to gasoline spills on the cladding.
