Musings about Mothering the Cladding

[Chopper]

Meguires sells the trim detailer on their website. The only place to get it these days. Like 2.50 a bottle, does all the cladding maybe 4or5 times per. Best I've found but still a pain in the ***.

So what Im hearing is that the "Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Long Lasting Tire Gel" should be used on the cladding, even though its tire gel?

Just making sure, dont want to mess anything up.

Zainos tire gel is also excellent on cladding - and it goes on easily without second or third passes.

Anita, is the Zaino product similar to the Meguiars? I've been thinking off giving the stuff a spin as johnnyapollo uses it and has about the best looking VX I've ever seen. At least when he's not slacking.

When I ran a restoration shop we did a lot of detailing for our customers as well as for some local dealerships so I'm extremely picky about what kind of products I use. Ever since then it's been mostly commercial 3M stuff, with the Meguiars for cladding/tires and Lexol leather products for seats.

Im not sure about the comparison with Meguiars since I havent tried it. I have used Mother back to black, turtlewax something-thousand, and a zymol product. Zainos goes on better than any product I have used (one swipe and its even throughout). I still havent found a product that doesnt streak when rained on, but it seems to streak the least of the products I have used. It doesnt attract dirt and dust and leaves a nice semi-gloss.

I just bought a new product I found at my local (not a big chain) parts store called Wizards black renew. They claim it will remove wax residue too. Initial tests (just a bit applied w/ my finger) look good, we'll see how it does when it gets warm enough to do the whole car.
Anyone here have any experience w/ this brand?
After I get it applied & it's been rained on a couple times, I'll post results
