    Oh sure add more Pee to my cornflakes. Just kidding. Thats what I need, to darken it, because the previous owner didnt care for the caldding and its fairly faded. That is why I was leaning towards the liner stuff.

    I have used Mothers Back to Black. It is pretty good and easy to apply.
    Also used ICE when I wax the VX.
    Got some Maguiers Endurance Gold at Big Lots and have not tired it yet.

    I really like the Armorall Extreme Tire Shine Gel (orange plastic 18 oz bottle with foam applicator). You have a wet black shine for a few weeks then just "black" for weeks more. My mid December application stills looks black, even using the VX as my daily driver through rain, sleet and snow.

    Yeah I decided last night I will try that instead of liner, at least I can take the paint off if I decide to change it. Now the next step is getting my step dad to let me roll out the 69 Camaro for the day, so I can use the garage.

    Has anyone pulled off there cladding, I am wondering about the tape that is supposed to be under there. Did you replace it? Let it go, or what?

    New product convert

    Recently converted to Autoglym products ; they're amazing and last a long time. Completely revitalized the cladding and great cosmetic result. Had to put some elbow grease into it, but I found that even if I place large glops of the stuff it blends in well and leaves no streaks.

    ive pulled the front bumper.. didnt find any tape there, but it was very easy to pull off.. small big of advice on removing the front cladding, the two torx screws between the grille and headlights are cosmetic only, dont remove them because theyre a pita to put back on, if you look on tone's website he has instructions for removing the rear cladding (on his how-to for installing his tow hitch)
