cladding cleaner / restorer - anyone tried it?

[VX KAT]

Hey techno...wanna trade cladding?? I'm pretty sure my cladding is possessed!

I'll 2nd the recommendation on the "303"..it's just flat out amazing!
Been using it on all the roof racks I've procured, nothing short of amazing, turns the black aluminum bars a nice silky black, & rubber and plastic are like new. Spray it on & let it soak on the plastic for several hours, have found it's even more spectacular that way. Lasts a long time, but bottle says reapply every 6 weeks or so for max UV (SPF40) protection. Got mine on Amazon with free shipping, also avail on ebay.

Wish I coulda tried it on my cladding before R/R...get it all nice and dark, then apply the R/R to seal it all in that way! (I know that's not how the surface is to be prepped though)

Ganz...Calfee builds some very sweet road bikes! I was unpleasently surprised by his TT/tri frame...I was expecting something more than a cookie cutter design. I also dig his bamboo frames. Have heard they have an amazing ride.

P.S. not ALL carbon frames are repaired by Craig though he is quite capable. My Felt just came back from some warranty work from the Felt plant in Irvine, Ca.

Sorry KAT, I will put some VooDoo on it if you want me to!

I need to find some of this 303 for my rack. It could definitely use some TLC. The aluminum is oxidized looking and the rubber as well.

Wonder if they have it at autozone or pepboys?

Looks like Cabela's will ship it to store for free, if you have one of those close...16 oz $14.99. A lot of marine and RV supply places often have it also.
Otherwise, I'd just search Amazon for the best deal. I know I got free shipping.
I bought the 32 oz spray and it will last a lifetime...I've used it a ton and it's maybe 1/4 gone...I'd say go for the smaller 8 oz or 16 oz ...but then again, you may go crazy with the stuff like I am and spray everything you possibly can! Even see a user on Amazon included a pic of his engine bay. I've detailed my engine bay twice, check out my ROM pics.

Here's 16 oz $12.50 + $6.99, not too bad.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good try KAT with the subliminal quote manipulation...

I'm one of those people that thinks a VX just loses a certain amount of testosterone when there is no rack.

I'll check some local marine shops and see whats there... The closest Cabela's is like 2.5 hours. ugh.

Thanks for the info though. Definitely a big help.
