Gatorback Cladding Update!

[mike nomy]

LOTS OF PEOPLE HAD ASKED ME, BACK ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, WHEN I ORIGINALLY SPRAYED MY CLADDING WITH GATORBACK,"WHAT ARE THE LONGTERMRESULTS?" WELL I HAD NO IDEA BECAUSE I'VE NEVER USED IT BEFORE, BUT, IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS, 3 MAJOR NY SNOW STORMS AND NOT A SINGLE CAR WASH YET.....
I HAD BEEN MEANING TO WASH MY CAR LOL BUT HAVING A NEWBORN AND WORKING MY *** OFF MAKES IT KINDA HARD TO TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO...
SO TODAY, I FINALLY GOT A FEW MINUTES TO RUN TO THE CARWASH N CLEAN HER UP.
LIKE A BUNCH OF U GUYS, I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THE GATORBACK HELD UP UNDER ALL THAT DIRT AND MOTHER NATURE....

SO HERE IS A PIC... LOOKS AS BLACK AND SMOOTH AS THE DAY I SPRAYED IT, NO JOKE!
I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT LOOKED ONCE IT GOT WASHED. THERE WERE NO CHIPS OR PEELS AND NO FADING AT ALL...

SO THERE U HAVE IT, GATORBACK SCORES AN A++ WITH ME!

HOPE THIS GIVES SOME PEOPLE SOME MORE FAITH IN THE ONE TIME APPLICATION PRODUCT.

Lookin' good! Sometimes I'm sooooo tempted to try this.

[mike nomy]

i really think it's a no brainer

[Grif]

Kind of like finding your caps-lock key?

[CrnCnn]

Looks great. I need to refresh my paint job that I did in '08 but now I may look into this more. The problem is the ammount of Sun and heat we get here. I wonder if that would cause a different outcome over time. How much was this stuff again?

Hey, leave the guy alone, I am not the only one.

I think he said it was about $18/can and it took 4 cans.

I was going to ask if you two were related

[mike nomy]

this is yer reporter in the field, mike nomy, with a 4 month update on gatorback...

[ZubrAZ]

mike, have you spilled any gas on the cladding since? does it leave discolored marks?

[Ascinder]

Gatorback sells an anti fuel staining topcoat. I got my Gatorback kit before they had the spray cans and it came with it.

[ZubrAZ]

thank you for the info, Ascinder

[atilla_the_fun]

they don't list their fuel top coat in aerosol form...? It must have to be sprayed/brushed on

[Ascinder]

IIRC it comes in a pint can
