Thought I'd post this here in case you don't read the other forums here regularly. Just something I tried with good results. I've done this on plastics before but never tried it on the cladding. Here's a link, you can read it there.:D

that is interesting. and yeah most of the new tire sprays are silicone. They get messy when it rains.

note on something i saw in your shop pic...

Tractors are red, only crops are green!
 






I think you need to post a Youtube video showing your technique.

I don't like tire treatments or the silicone stuff, draws dust/dirt. I use floor wax on my tires and tried it on the cladding but it just makes the cladding a shiny faded color. Heat brings the gray back out.

Tractors? We do the whole color assortment on them. Green Oliver 550, yellow Cub Cadet 149 & 1810, orange Gravely ProMaster 200 zero turn and these old red IHC hit & miss engines.
