    Come one...identify the line up for us!!!....well, except T4B....we all kinda know which one is his....
    WHO KNEW there was another Foxfire hiding in the vicinity???



    Look closely in the background - we were unsure whether Tom was posing his VX for a pic or testing whether the OFH could float.
    Maybe he was takin' a pee pee??

    Looks like a great day and a great time was had by all! Can't wait for the add'l pics!


    ***And seriously, great pics to look at the cladding of all 5....since the pic levels the playing field, it leaves age, care/treatment and current topical treatment as pretty much the only variables. My eyeballs say Ashley's and the white one look a tad darker than the rest.

    I'd say Cobrajet's cladding was right up there too. The funny thing is that I believe we were all using different products. I remember Cobrajet used Turtlewax Ice on his cladding and 303 on this tires (never thought of that one). Saturday I tried Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant instead of Back to Black because the bottle promised significantly longer endurance, no running/streaking in rain, and no oily finish a la B2B. The Meguiar's product is thick almost like a liquid wax as opposed to B2B's runny liquid, and although it was equally as dark as B2B, there was definitely no oily finish after the application. I haven't used a California Car Duster on it yet, but it will be interesting to see if it works or streaks. My only concern in evaluating it is that my cladding was already pretty dark from multiple B2B treatments, so it's hard to know how effective it would be on raw cladding. virtualruffy had to replace a few cladding pieces a year ago, so I sent him home with the bottle to see if it would even out the differences in sun fading across the entire vehicle. Hopefully he can give it a go and I can take pics in a few weeks.

    I can't recall what yellowgizmo said he used, but it did look sharp. Billy can you remind me?
