Refinish Restorer
« on: May 28, 2009, 11:44:10 AM »
I think this may be my first post on here but I've been around for a couple months seeing what can be done with my '04 Avy that I bought in March.  My cladding was really bad and I decided to give Refinish Restorer a try.  I got it from the Ditchek website that was listed in another post here.  It was pretty easy, I need to do some touchups, maybe another full coat since it was getting dark as I was doing the 2nd coat and because it was so bad to start with...  Anyways, here are some pics...

Looks great. I need to get some of that.

Our 06 isn't as bad as the early models but I used some at Bratfest last year and was quite impressed with the way it works.

I use that stuff too. I applied it first last year and literally it went 8 mos before I even thought I would need to re-apply. That was through all kinds of weather and many carwashes. Just reapplied it last week and its back to top form. Nector of the Av Gods!!!

I need to pick up a can of that, my girlfriends 05 WBH really needs some work.  I don't really want to put it on my 02 because I would like to paint the cladding sometime.
