I applied a coat of polytrol and was amazed by the result. The gleam returned and the boat looked very good. What suprised me was that it lasted for a good while, well over six months. It can be washed without it coming off and when we sold the boat after I think we had reapplied polytrol three times it still looked good. I must stress that the paint we coated was fairly good but had lost all its shine until we tried this. The only thing I don't know is how it may effect any later repainting work. Anyway I would happily use again if required. Cheers , Ian .
