    Still holding up great, I live on a dirt road also.
    Something else you can do before you use the wax remover would to use a Scotch Brite pad and rub down the cladding.

    They also make an adhesion spray, like bulldog, which can be sprayed before the paint.

    I think this is a wonderfully simple idea. Bulldog specifically states it works on polypropylene, which is what our cladding is made of.

    Lightly sand the surface. Clean really well with the remover or Acetone (I would imagine), clean again, apply Bulldog then the paint!

    It's enough to actually make me wanna try it. I am SICK AND TIRED of putting back to black on every weekend. It's the only thing that keeps me from just going to a car wash and having someone else do it. cause they use crap like turtlewax. And in Texas heat it dries out in days.

    Look amazzzzzing! I have wanted to do that with my ebony since I got it, but am afraid of the paint chipping or ending up looking awful in the end. Want to come and paint it for me?! I don't know if I will be able to build up the guts to try it. May come out pretty awful for me....
    Thanks for the pictures and the post on how to do it though! You rock!
