    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

    I have been trying different products with mixed results. Yesterday on my quad weekly bathing of said VX, I tried something different, I dried the cladding first then kept after any drips/runs from the paint work as I dried the rest the rest of it. It helped, didn't need to reapply anything this washing. Something to keep in mind if you just got to wash your baby but don't really have the time to do it right

    Thumbs up

    Mothers Back to Black - it's inexpensive and a very good product.
    Peace.

    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?

    Just bought some more Dupli-Color Bumper Coating spray, it reads that the temp needs to be from 60-92 F and less than 60% humidity.

    I saw some bulldog bumper paint today at pep boys.
