That is nasty...

SPAZZ, I have added a photo of my damage. Do you think I could save it with the heat gun trick?

I'd worry about that rust spot first before even worrying about the clading.

How'd you manage that one

Hey VehiX, I'm gonna try this product tonight. I picked some up yesterday. So we'll see. My opinion of "Back to Black" is that it works ok, but it is a pain to apply and work with.

Get a microfiber cloth and spray this stuff on it. Do all of your cladding while you're at it. The scratch will still be there but will be FAR less noticeable to even you . I'm finding I like this stuff better than the ICE that people here have been raving about lately. The ice didn't seem to do ANYTHING for me as far as making the cladding look better. This makes it shine and look like new for far less time and money. It seems to stay on for a while too.

If you do use this, keep in mind it is aresol like and the spray is very fine. I'd suggest a small face mask when applying it. It also produces some static for like the first 5 min. when applying it

You can do the entire cladding in about 10-15 minutes and have it look almost brand new!!!

Cool, I hope it works out for you and that you like the product.

I just realized I said to get a microfiber cloth and to spray this on it. Don't spray it on the cloth then apply, rather, act as if you're spray painting your cladding by applying the product directly to the cladding then wiping it down to remove any excess. You can cover big areas at a time with this stuff.

Another tip I would suggest. I don't know about you but the gas tank and it's skid plate tend to dull out and get all oxidized on mine. Try wiping down the tank and skid plate and look at the dramatic difference. Makes it look brand new!!!

Let me know what you think when you're done.

Rust spor was fixed. It was a old photo.

The VX was damaged during shipment this past Jan. The right head light was also damaged which is the one I repaired in the article, 'Zen and the Art of Headlight Polishing' .

Or you can just put enough dents and scrapes in it that you can't tell the difference! After all thats why they are there.
