I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with IslandGirl's Mirror Hard Superglaze product. I have a classic motorsailer that was professionally painted in Imron about 3 years ago. The Imron paint is great, but doesn't keep its gloss, in the intense Texas heat we have for 5-6 months a year. I've tried a number of different waxes and other products which provided a great gloss (after a LOT of work), but the shine never lasted more than 3-4 months. That was a LOT of work 3-4 times a year! I purchased and applied Island Girl's Superglaze product last July. The application was the easiest of any product to date. I just washed the boat and applied the Superglaze with a paper towel. Gloss was as good as any other product I've used. I proceeded to apply a second coat and accomplished both in less than 4 hours! I was a little skeptical whether this would last any longer than the waxes and other products I've tried as the application was just too easy. Long story short, this is July, a year later, the gloss has held up! The hull color is cream with a 10" dark green stripe around the gunwale. The shine and water shedding properties on the cream color is as good as last July. The green stripe is a little less, but you should feel how hot this area gets after it has been in the sun all day! I'll give the green stripe a maintenance coat next month, but will let the hull go for another year and see what it looks like then. I have to tell you that this finish has held up well. It makes cleaning the boat relatively easy, even the spider dropping clean off easily. Stubborn water marks from the run off are a thing of the past also. I have been experimenting with the rest of Island Girl's product line, since I had bought a whole kit. I have to say that everything works as advertised! I am very satisfied with both the products and the person to person customer service (rare in a company these days).
