cleaning bottom half of VX

I use Meguire's Exterior Trim Detailer and am very happy with it, kinda hard to find though. I buy it at O'Reilys Auto Parts. There are several discussions on different products you could read up on, maybe search the forums for "cladding."

Hotflyer, I have used the above mentioned in sunlight, not sure if I was suppose to or not. You could always do it first thing in the mroning when you get up.

BTW, I spray the detailer on mid size area at a time, then use a approx. 3in X 3in terry cloth towel to even it out and remove extra. The small size towel lets more of the product stay on the car rather than a large towel with more "dry" towel surface removes alot of the product. Make sense?

I've had pretty good luck with Motul's Wash & Wax and Shine & Go. They are products designed for motorcycles and you can pick them up at motorcycle dealerships. They are supposed to work equally well on metallic and plastic surfaces. You spray on the Wash & Wax and leave it on for a bit then wipe it off and it leaves the cladding a nice dark color. Shine & Go is more for touch ups and you also spray it on, but you just leave it. It gives a sheen to the cladding that some like, but if you want a less lustrous look you can wipe it off.
