Outshine the salt.

“The morning dew test”

You know it's working when the dew sits on the bow in little round beads instead of a wet sheet. Sprayed it on after a wash, buffed it off, that was it. Bird bombs rinse off with the dock hose now instead of needing a scrub. At fifty bucks a bottle I was skeptical. Not anymore.

“See the photo, that was real mildew”

Those white seats were headed to the upholstery shop. Grey mildew dots all over, and under a cover in Florida humidity it kept coming back no matter what I scrubbed with. Sprayed this, let it sit a few minutes, wiped. The photo is the result. And it doesn't leave that greasy feel where you slide off the seat.

“Black streaks finally gone”

The black streaks under our rub rail laughed at regular boat soap for two seasons. This stuff, a minute to sit, a rag — gone. Bought it for the deck, now I use it on basically everything topside.

“The foam actually stays put”

I keep mine in a wet slip and rinse the salt off every Sunday. Most soaps slide off the hull before you even pick up a brush, this stuff hangs on long enough to actually work. Salt film came off without me leaning on it. Didn't touch the ceramic coating either, which was the thing I was worried about.

“Sprinklers vs Aqua Armor”

The dock sprinklers hit my boat every single morning and the hard-water spots used to bake on by noon. Since coating it they wipe off with a damp towel. I bought it for the gloss but honestly the spot thing is why it's staying in the dock box.

“Finally one that isn't greasy”

Every protectant I've tried turns the seats into a slip-n-slide. This dries matte and you can sit on it in a wet bathing suit without shooting off the bow. That's the whole review.
