I've recently been using that and so far it has done a
great job. Is anyone else familiar with it? Does anyone
know of anything else like it that does as well or better?
Is there anyplace to get it other than from their website?


Sorry for the bad news but..............

It is nothing more than an acrylic film and nothing more than a
cosmetic bandage. *I have read of many boaters having problems with
that stuff.......including flaking.

Good luck trying to remove it when you finally start having problems
with it.

Ditto here - bought it - tried it - initially thought it was great until it
started flaking - and I could not use their remover because it would have
run down on the tak decks...I am back to wax/polish


Before splashing in Spring I polish with Finesse-It 2 then throw on a
couple of coats of Collinite Fleetwax (paste).

When in the water and when anchored in shallow water (after it warms
up) I wipe down the boat hull. I also throw on a coat of Meguiar's
Flagship Marine Wax a couple of times during the season.
