Do we have a consensus yet re the CLADDING

I just bought some "Restore Black" made by Bondo....


VERY dissapointed, I am now ready to go with the Line-X or something to that effect. This stuff SUCKs... All I got was uneven looking crappy Cladding, also very streaky unless you hit it really fast with a cloth to rub it in, even then very dissapointed

aw man clint! sorry buddy.. i used that stuff on my vx and its STILL staining my cladding (i used it back in summer...) i only did it on my drivers side fender.. but you can still see the streaking.. i made a post about it a while back when i first used it, guess i shoulda put it in more than one place though, i havent found any way to get rid of it but using mcguires on it reduced the streaking when its freshly applied

Its cool, just makes it easier to decide to go with the bed liner stuff

Meguires here too, but I much prefer their vinyl and rubber protectant, #40. It's in the beige spray bottle...part of their professional series of products. You have to go to a paint store, or their website to get it. Goes on easily, buffs to a DRY matte sheen, resists streaking and washing off after it has been used two or three times ( has a definite cumulative effect) I've tried all the other stuff (except Zaino's) and I can't imagine it's much better.

I shouldn’t have washed it today, that’s were it all started. I was washing it and noticed a pretty healthy few scratches from some scumbags’ car door. They run about 3 inches long and about an inch from top to bottom... grrrr... I thought I would show some love to it for taking the punishment and make it all pretty... DAMN see what I get. I think my day will be spent tomorrow on this mod, if you want to call it that...

maybe you could try just going over it with more and more of the evil bondo product? its more or less paint, so another coat would probably even out the light patches and not make the dark streaks much darker... i havent seen your vx.. but id imagine it couldnt make matters much worse judging from my experience with that stuff
