So I ordered some of this stuff the other day, got it in today and applied two coats on my cladding. Best money spent besides my HID's  :thumbsup:

I'll grab some pictures tomorrow.

Pretty good stuff. It will last all summer and not run depending on how many time you go through the high pressure car washes. I don't normally use the automatic washes so mine last quite a while.

I rarely do the high pressure car washes, I do mine at the house so hopefully it will last a good while. If I can get 6 months or more I'll be happy with it. I can't believe it as little Refinish Restorer as it did to do two coats. This stuff is amazing.

I can't tell you how many coats of that stuff I've applied to different avy's and still have about a 1/4 of a can left. When mine under went the knife a few months ago I had the cladding G'Backed so we'll see how well it holds up. I still have the wife's avy to use the rest of this can on . There is a local paint shop that stocks it for $35 a can and if I want a case of 6 they'll give it to me for $30 a can. Most people I know already have a can so I'm not sure if it would be worth it to get a case to keep with me and resell/pass off at GTG's.

Hey Guys/Girls I'm new to this site and I was wondering, is painting the cladding a good idea? I have an 02 white avy and I was thinking of going black on the cladding. Or should I just go ahead and get the RR its does look realllllly good!!

Thanks, all the way from CT

Well it all depends on how deep your pockets are. You can just spray paint them with krylon plastic spray paint. Or we have a member that has used "armor thane" and that stuff is pricey! The RR is hands down the cheapest way to go about it but its kinda hard finding a distributor. The plus side of RR you don't gotta rip off all your cladding. Again it all depends on how deep your pockets are and how fare you are willing to go.
