I too would like to know how that works, I had a small altercation with a post and scraped my front corner. It doesn't look too bad as long as I keep that Back to Black on it but as soon as I wash it EEEK. I would'nt mind replacing the cladding but not for $400. I can buy alot of polish for that price. But if anyone knows of a front cladding any cheaper let me know, otherwise I'll keep polishing for a while!
