In preparation for Moab I decided to try a new (to me) cladding treatment that I ran across in AutoZone; Meguiar's Ultimate Black



I am a little embarrassed about how bad I let my cladding get over the long Colorado winter. After washing the dirt off it was very dry and ashy looking. It hasn't been this bad in a long time and I was a little worried about being able to bring it completely back to life.

I used a sponge applicator to swipe the Ultimate Black onto the cladding and it immediately soaked right into the cladding in a nice even coat. Overlapping swipes yielded a completely seamless uniform color on the cladding.



I'll report back on how it holds up to rain as it is supposed to rain most of the day tomorrow on the way to Moab (of course), and how it attracts (or doesn't) the fine red Moab dirt.
