Yeah, I've got brightwork... and right now it looks just terrible... too many years of neglect. I used to use Le Tokinois... but due to the long drying time, I never really managed to get the recommended 6 coats. (a sailor has to sail sometime...)
I just saw this thread on Le T... with this comment: "The Le Tonkinois lost points on gloss retention, but gained on ease of application and durability."

The ease of application was the reason I used it... plus I didn't find the smell objectionable.
But as I mentioned, I never got the requisite 6 coats.
Now I see Pettit has this new stuff out... and I could put on 3 coats in a single day... But I am wondering just how well it works. I might just get a quart and do my hatch boards before committing to do all the brightwork.
So as I asked... anybody using the stuff now?
