    Cladding treatment...pics

    With all this cladding talk I will post what mine looks like after 3 days of rain in 5 days. And I would highly assume this may be the cheapest route. It lasts a couple weeks or so and takes about 3 minutes to apply. It will take longer if your cladding is heavily faded as you will then need to rub it in, instead of just spraying it on.

    The pictures are not the best as it was the first bright sunny day after some morning rain and these are cell phone pics. But you get the idea.












    Tire before...you can't really tell, but the tire was faded with curb rash and lighter spots from age and abuse. First time I have actually sprayed the tire instead of using tire specific stuff.


    I am pleased with it and have been for years. I have mentioned it several times before but no one has really ever tried it...other than a few locals that have seen it in person....

    With all the types of treatments out there... I am just going to see if anyone can guess what it is. This mystery may spark a few others to try it. (I have done it all as most of us have...from polish, turtle wax ice...etc)

    The mystery is

    what product are you talking about. I seem to be unable to find any mention of it.

    Gang, he said to try and guess what it is....read the last paragraph...

    I'm not going to do a search first....so here's my guess....is it the Kiwi shoe polish or linseed oil? (no that was CrotchRocket that used linseed oil I think).

    Or maybe peanut butter? (I know I read that somewhere here)....

    Child's play... if you use the search engine.

    Sounds like a game adults "play" with kids to keep them occupied.

    EDIT: No mention of not using the search engine in JHarris' post.

    Sounds like this lasts a little longer than Back to Black, but doesn't run or collect dust as much?
