Aurora "Sure Step" for nonskid

[Rob]

I have seen Island Girl vs. Poly Glow threads. Very few times Aurora "Sure Step" was mentioned for nonskid. Has anyone had experience with their products? The application recommends cleaning (basically careful scrubbing) with two of their products (I don't know why two), then application of Sure Step with either a brush or sponge, drying time 24hrs. It sounds pretty simple and they claim it shines and adds grip. I would be happy if it removed the oxidation and was no more slippery than it is now, as the thread I read suggested. I called and they said the Sure Step stuff is a polymer rather than a wax. I am wondering if anyone has used this stuff and liked it or if you experienced molding, streaking, short life span, or removal problems that seem to be the problems with some users experiences with other products.

Sure step PR website

I guess I'll give the stuff a try and report back, in the absense of negative feed back. FYI attached is the PR website. Their website is very difficult for me to get to work, maybe cookies or something.

Have used Aurora 'Sure Step'

Rob,I have used Aurora 'Sure Step' for the last 4 seasons and have been very satisfied. It was also rated very good by Practical Sailor about 4 or 5 years ago, which is why it tried it. The only problem has been finding it the the usual marine stores this season. While the Aurora web site shows it as being carried at Boaters World, Boat/US, & West Marine, it it no longer carried there. Boaters could not even special order it. I am still trying to find it in the RI and S.E. MA area.Dick CareyS/V Puffin1990 H-33.5

Order from site

I've used it once and was happy enough with it that I ordered three containers of it. You can order it directly from their site and, if you make the order large enough, the shipping costs are minimized.Daves/v Benediction
