Hello and thank you in advance for your suggestions. I'm in the
process of refinishing my boat. The exterior Port lights and fairleads
are of solid bronze. I'm going to sand and polish to a bright finish
and need to coat with a urethane, or some other durable product that
will protect the polished finish and keep all gleaming and not turning
green. I once coated with a two part DuPont product (forget the name)
and it lasted for a reasonable time. I'm aware that there are new
products out there that will under these harsh conditions guarantee a
ten year protection but as yet have not located the company or
product.

Again this is an exterior project, often awash in sea water for days,
stepped on and lines rubbing constantly.
Any suggestions???

Let it go green, it protects the bronze. If you must polish it just
coat it with olive oil ever once and a while, old navy secret. Any
urithane or clear coat will peel in no time due to UV and excessive
heat. Your wasting your time. Beside the green looks saltier. If you
have teak decks let em go gray.

One of the great things about my current boat is that the only varnished
or
oiled wood above deck is the tiller.

Ah, buy mine does have grab rails on the coach roof. CS very sensibly did
them in SS, a touch a lot of CS owners appreciate.
