What have you guys found to be the best way to restore the cladding that will last a while?
All the posters are correct - go with R&R. I used many products on my 3 Avy's, only R&R works. I've applied on once this year, still no retouch is required - looks brand new still.noahwoo10 said:What have you guys found to be the best way to restore the cladding that will last a while?
RedBone86 said:A very cheap and easy way to restore the cladding is with a heat gun. I had my doubts as well but it does work. This is a pic of my cladding above the mid gate on the roof. Left side i have hit with the heat gun. The right side i have not touched. I have tried a whole bunch of restoratives and spent lots of money but this is the cheapest and took me about a two hours to do the whole truck about three and a half if you include bed panels. I did it about three months ago and still looks fresh.

There are YouTube videos of guys using the large propane torches to do this restore. I have a smaller version torch used for killing weeds I am going to try. A friend of mine at work used a heat gun and only stayed black for about a week. I guess I'll find out first hand.
FWIW, and I could be wrong, but I have suspicion that RR base may be linseed oil as they smell similar. Big difference in price though.
