    Lightbulb Fixing deep scratches in cladding with Showroom New

    I found you can successfully use SN to help cover up deep scratches in the cladding.

    On the trail earlier this this year, I took the wrong line on an obstacle and my tire slipped off a rock. This caused the VX to go off camber and wedge the cladding to a nice piece of granite. I had to drive out of the obstacle which scratched the cladding a bit. Overall some terrible off road driving.

    I was determine to clean up the damage. I used 400-1500 grit sand paper and sanded down the cladding. This caused the cladding to lighten up a lot which was more noticeable than the initial scratches. I next applied 6-8 coats of SN over a few days and the results turned out better than expected. You be the judge.
