    Think a foam type paint brush would work OK for application?

    Um, I don't think so from my experience, but I can't say for sure. I used a terrycloth rag which worked pretty well. I bristle-type paint brush would probably work well.

    I would try to get any other products off if they are freshly applied.

    I'm gonna buy some of this stuff too, even though my cladding still looks like new. My advice for "prepping" is BrakeKleen (in the red can) - it will remove EVERYTHING that is on there, and leave ZERO residual - you'll have a perfect palette for this product, IMHO...

    Wouldn't BrakeKleen be a little too harsh for the cladding? If that is the stuff that is made to clean gunk off of engine blocks it may melt the cladding. I would try it on a hidden area first to make sure it doesn't do any damage.

    Categorically NOT the same thing! It's primarily designed to clean off drum/disc brake surfaces and brake parts prior to reassembly; as such, it's designed to leave NO chemical residue whatsoever! While it is invasive on SOME plastics, I don't think there would be a problem on the cladding - of course, try it in an inconspicuous place first...

    What about using Windex to prep it? I recall somebody has been using Windex on the cladding to make it look good. So it apparently doesn't dry it out too bad...maybe it would be a pretty good prep solution to get off most of the "oily" type products we've put on it (Back to Black, etc...)

    Cladding fading

    I was googling at few websites & found this product which i assume some of you folks may have aknowledge of.

    The product is named "Wurth stone guard black aereosol" offered by properautocare.com which offers another option to solve the fading issues our toys suffers from weather.
