Has anyone used Topcoat F11 on their boats?

[caguy]

I've seen some pretty impressive videos on YouTube but was wondering about how it holds up. I was also curious about using it on the nonskid areas to get the color to pop. I have always used Woody Wax but is doesn't seem to last long and does not pop the color as well as apparently Topcoat F11 does.
Any experience with it or other suggestions would be appreciated.

Per their website FAQS, It will only last 3-6 mo. It will handle a freeze but not multiple freezes. They never discuss boats that sit in the environment 24/7....Not for me.. I'm trying Shurholds pro polish that was put on this last April. We'll see next spring how it did. Some of the pro marine detailers are using it..

Sitting in the 46th parallel area, my '80 H Cherubini 37 has the extremes of weather to endure. The hull hasn't been polished in years and still looks good, IMHO. It's a good boat, not trying for a show boat. So, what if I continue with seasonal power washes at haul-out, any thoughts? BTW we're in very fresh Superior water. I might hire local high school kids to polish it. My 71+ year old shoulders would not like this job.

I would like to know how it works if anybody has tried it and how long it really lasts. I too have seen the ads and use Woody Wax. I'm looking for something easy for a 70 year old.

This could be a timely update on what works for hull gel-coat maintenance. I know we have a wealth of experience out there!! Please share what you know with us.
