    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.

    I used armor all tire foam. as long as it does not rain the first couple of days, no streaking and lasts about a month

    Meguiars Endurance Gold. If you go over the cladding with an old clean t-shirt shortly after applying it you won't have any streaking issues. Typically it looks real good for a couple months before need re-application.

    The best part is you can also use the same stuff on your tires while you're doing the cladding.

    Endurance for me as well. I may try the Zaino product though (upon Anita's recommendation), the next time I order from them I'll add some to the invoice.

    like you said, good for a couple months.

    when i washed (past tense) the VX i liked to go around the cladding and make sure no new gouges have appeared. using the spray i know once a month the cladding will be checked.

    not sure what it is about Florida, but people down here tend to open their car doors with force, not caring what is next to them

    American Shine

    I've used a number of products but I find this to be the best. Just left the car for a week in an outside carpark by the airport.When I returned, it had been pouring rain for the last few days. No streaks, just beading and it looked great. Lasts a long time and not expensive.
