    Seems like application is swirly and uneven, does it come off? Definately looks better than grey washed out side but looks like you have put nothing on bad cladding for long time. I use Back to Black and it does collect dust somewhat but nothing seems to be perfect for the cladding IMO. Definaely looks better than nothing on the cladding.

    no, actually I did it everytime I washed it. with different products. the undone cladding looks that way caused I used a strong chemical cleaned to get all the old product off of it.

    The first coat just goes on that way. a second (or third) coat will coat over any swirls or streaks. You want a lint free cloth to put this on, and thin multiple coats is the way to go. Try to put it on with as uniform a wipe as you can, dont change direction or do swirls. I went a section of cladding at a time and waited the 10 mins and wiped off then put on additional coats until it looked "right" then moved on to the next section. A little goes a loong way. I have had it on mine for almost seven months and it still shines up nicely. Invest in a few hours putting this on and do it right, and you'll just need to treat your cladding once or twice a year (depending on weather conditions/how hard you ride her) instead of every other month like most of the other stuff (back to black, tire shine, clear coat wax, ICE)

    Phantom, did you wax once you got it right to get a high sheen look? Step seven says you can

    ROWHARD--- Nice pic's. I like the "half-n-half" look to show us "before-n-after".

    Incidentally, did the Body Shop do a good job on your VX from the Winter incident??? Did you ever get your antenna "buzzing" sound corrected??? AIM HIGH!!!

    Yea, I thought it would help anyone that is sitting on the fence that doesn't want to spend the money. Seems like a good product.

    No, and no. It needs to go back and have the hood resprayed, I still have the buzz from what ever them did, they also fried the rear dome light I had installed and a 18 work day job turned into 25. Don't think I will go back or recommend them.
