    Gatorback Cladding Update!

    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.

    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?

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