    I used Mothers Back to Black on my 99 Amigo and it looks pretty good.
    I found Maguires Endurance in Big Lots for $ 2.00 a bottle.
    I bought some to try.

    im a maguires fan, smell like grapes after im done, and a little tip here, not sure ive seen anywhere else, but i use those tire wipe sponge things. they have a curved surface for product, and a "handle" made of some stiffer foam. makes spreading product easier,and evenly, has nice "points" that can get into that 1/4" gap between the body panel, and cladding......dreamy....and they are cheap! inital product spreading takes about 15 min.

    that is all

    Hi Guys....sorry about that.

    I use the Bumper Care.

    It takes a bit of work, but all scratches and any marks are rapidly hidden and the entire cladding looks new. It's water resistance is great too.
    Good luck.

    I just treated my cladding today with Turtle Wax ICE. It's not as thick as Endurance so it goes on easier, and doesn't attract the dust. My cladding isn't as weathered as most so I don't need much to make mine look like new.

    I agree, ICE is my favorite so far...goes on easily, lasts longer than anything else I've used, & a little goes a long way.

    Also, here's a thought on products attracting dust, the more you have to rub to get a product to look good, the more static electricity build up there's going to be, which is going to attract dust...this came to my attention when I was applying Back to Black (before I started using ICE) & the hair on my arms was standing at attention any time I got near the cladding...my conclusion ?...ICE good, less rubbing.

    I have actually sprayed a thin layer of static guard on mine before applying my shine....Cant remember the name but its made by turtle wax and it goes on my tires and cladding with minimal streaking.
