x2. Great "link"(s). After reading the above mentioned website links, the Armor Dillo TS-1 appears to be the miracle cure for our VX cladding. Even the official GM Tech Bulletin mentions it "by name" for their Avalanche cladding (remember, ISUZU is a GM subsidiary company). According to the info & GM-TB, the most critical step is to use a "damp" lint-free towel to wipe the surface after treatment with TS-1. Further, MR. LARRY's has already tried it on his cladding with great results.

I've used Refinish Restorer only on my Hood Insert and it has returned it to like-new condition with a OEM factory looking sheen. However, I haven't used R/R on my side cladding yet because other VX member's have reported chipping/flaking and that has made me extremely skittish for R/R cladding use.

Having said that, my plan now is to only use R/R on the Hood Insert and to use Armor Dillo TS-1 only on the side cladding material. Plus, I really like the fact that the TS-1 comes in pre-treated "packet wipes" which will aide in its application. I just ordered the TS-1 (4-pack) for $30 from ROWHARD's "link" to give it a try.

Sounds even better to me! But to be fair, they're 2 different animals....sounds like Armordillo TS-1 actually penetrates and hardens on the surface. And specifically says it WON'T CHIP or SCRATCH OFF!!!! Now 303 won't chip or scratch off either, but it's still somewhat of a topical product, whereas TS-1 and R/R actually penetrate the surface.....except R/R chips off

x2. Great "link"(s). (remember, ISUZU is a GM subsidiary company). :

Isuzu wised up and bought the shares back from GM once they saw how ratyher then helpins sell Isuzus with its dealer network they instead worked on trying to make Isuzu a GM sub product with low quality
