    I've used the Zaino products and absolutely love them. All of their stuff goes on easy. Of course, the first thing you think is, it went on easy, it must come easy. Not so at all! Their Z16 Tire Gloss works wonders along with the Leather in a Bottle! The interior still smells like fresh leather after almost 5 years.

    Looks as though the cladding will always be a big issue since it such a big part of the VX and weathered cladding can be UGLY. When some idiots call the VX ugly I think thery're refering to the cladding. I'm considering painting mine in a couple years (when it's paid off) but then I'll have to worry about door dings, scratches, and chips. I'd appreciate feedback on those of you that have painted it.

    If your looking to turn your graying plastic back to black, use heat. Either a heat gun or a propane torch. Keep the flames 6-8" away and fan it back and forth. The plastic will turn black as it warms up.

    This works, I kid you not!

    (P.S.- I am not responsible for any damage done due to people NOT reading the 6"-8" rule)

    I'm telling you guys.....try the "Stoners Trim Shine". Autozone for $2.50. Its in an aerosol can and sprays on with very little or no wipping. Ive used it all winter and very happy with it. It acutally looks better after a few washes and rain. I tried the Zainos too, now I'm just using it up on the tires.

    Thumbs up

    well, my cladding is finally all one dark, beautiful black.. I applied this stuff twice and it seems to be leaving a little bit of a streak, but well, I applied the second coat it really helped. I might go at it a third since my cladding was sooo bad to begin with. It seems as though I may have applied too much the first time. I left some spots along, hard to get to. If anyone wants, I'll send some before and after pics. From what I can tell is that is your cladding is as bad as mine was, this stuff might help. I forgot, I backed up into a couple of things too, having left faided looking rings where the plastic was a little stratched. It seems to have covered that up too.
