    Lookin' good EB!!

    Did you get a bottle with a sprayer or a flip top bottle? (They first sent me a spray bottle, then the replacement bottle just has a flip top, have to pour the product onto the cloth sponge.)

    How did you apply it? Use that cloth covered sponge they included?

    Doesn't look like it made it tremendously "black"...just darker gray...is that what you see?

    Doesn't look tremendously shiny...nice sheen, but not glossy/wet looking...is that correct?

    Looks like it soaked in (I think that's what it's supposed to do??) so it doesn't look like it's sitting on top of the cladding.

    Have any problems with streaking or did applying it create any streaks you had to deal with?

    Heck if you got that in 40 mins, and if it holds up for only 6 months, I think it sounds like a success! Add another choice to our cladding treatment list.

    May want to post all this under the TC Black Fusion thread to keep it in one place.
    Also, may want to add the word "black" to your first post too, so it read "TC Black Fusion" so it can be found when searching.

    I received a spray bottle and used a little piece of an old towel. It applies quickly and the end result is a very dark grey. The lower cladding seems to take it up and is darker than the hood insert and the mirrors. It does streak somewhat if you do not strive for nice even final strokes whiles applying it. It took 3/4 of the 2 ounce bottle and I agree that if it only last a few months I will just reapply it. Heck it goes on faster than waxing a car. And thanks Sue (Kat) for turning us on to this product!

    Looks Great, can't wait to see how it weathers.
    Did you do the hood insert? How did that work?

    Yes I did the hood insert but it does not get as dark as the lower cladding. i think the microdimpling in the lower cladding is more pronounced and must serve to gather more of the product thus it turns out darker. The hood insert - in other words - has a much smoother finish. (I think this stuff is just printer ink in some protroleum carrier. They arre immiscible (sp?) until applied and smeared together)

    The Coolest car in the parking lot!!!!!






    I just posted this picture on my face book page and an old friend tried to taunt me. I said it is the coolest "Truck" in the parking lot and he said it was not a truck. I posted him one of my favorite vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uAWo...eature=related[img]

    looks great

    I was not too impressed with the first photos as they looked splotchy but once seeing the pic in the parking lot I was impressed. If it lasts I will definately get some when I finish what I have.

    wondering if additional applications will get us a more solid even color overall

    His cladding was really faded; additional coats bring a better darker finish. Faded cladding really requires two coats to look even and smooth. We use it on every VX we have.

    Hey Ebzy...edit your first post and add the word "Black" to the Fusion so the thread will come up when anybody searches for it by it's actual product name "Black Fusion" or "TC Black Fusion".

    You are not imagining it. I just went out and looked again closer after a few hours of drying and it is quite streaky. I think a 2nd coat is in order but it looks a million times better than the chalky grey.
