    Do we have a consensus yet re the CLADDING

    Do we have a consensus yet as to what product is best to restore the black to the cladding?

    I've heard good and bad about several products -- some streak after rain, etc.

    I'd really like to treat my cladding but I'm confused.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I dont think we have a consenses yet. There are still lots of different opinions.

    I'm sold on Zaino's Perfect Tire gloss

    http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...ory_Code=Zaino

    It will streak in moderate rain, however the lotion goes on so evenly and quickly that I dont mind the re-apply. Before that I used Mother's back-to-black which also had some streaking, but it took so much longer to apply so I looked elsewhere.

    Meguiars Endurance Gold. Even smells like grapes... can get a little greasy if you do not wipe it good, but I like that stuff the best.

    Fyi

    Just my opinion but the best product I have found that lasts for weeks is Mothers Back to Black, it is awesome.

    I used Meguiars for the first time this past weekend and All I can say is WOW! I waited because my cladding was in good shape (so I thought). The difference was like night and day. My fiance who HATES my VX cause I love it so much, actually commented on how good it looks (and smells LOL). So even though I have a full bottle of Mothers, I'm stuck on Meguiars.

    i havent tried many products.. this stuff called black again has made me happy.. goes on very easy and gives a really nice shine, after heavy rain i noticed a couple of streaks where water ran out of the doors, but they were easy to touch up..... theres are some close up shots in my gallery from the show i entered, thats what i used to prep for the show and i got lots of compliments on the cladding there.. 5.99 at strauss discount auto...
    heres a link to a desc. of it http://www.autogeek.net/blackagain1.html

    Which Endurance Gold? On Meguiar's website, there are two gels listed. One is natural & the other is high gloss. What's the general preference of the Meguiar's users?
