Captains boat coating?
Saw this in Mike's thread on his recent boat detailing class. Any info on this stuff?
-
Re: Captains boat coating?
We used it in the class went on very very easy. It is designed to work on porous gel coat and nick said they are expecting at least 18 months of durability I'm sure he will chime in. Said it would be available in two weeks so next week now and between 49-59 dollars. I plan on buying it for our hells bay to try and keep the brown from building up from backcountry fishing.

SUPER interested in this stuff. Can't wait to hear more about it and hear some real world tests

Two new Marine 31 products were introduced at the Boat Detailing Class last Saturday....

Clear Vinyl Restorer & Protectant
Both will be available for sale by the weekend at the latest.

The boat for the class was 26 feet and we used about 1.5-2 ounces of product, and we applied it liberally. I'm confident we could have gotten by with just an ounce.
Captain's Boat Coating will be available exclusively in an 8 oz. size - no small toy jars for this coating.

Re: Captains boat coating?
Has there been much real world testing on it? What is expected for longevity and how well does it shed scum off the bottom of the boat?
My boat isn't bad since it isn't kept in the water, but my in laws keep theirs in a slip in Wisconsin all summer. They've got a red stripe and some trim that fades to chalk in no time at all on the side that faces the sun. Will this coating help much?

Re: Captains boat coating?
Ok Nick, I have to ask this, because we know someone is going to try it...what happens if you use this on a car?
After all, we know there are some marine products that auto enthusiasts use regularly (DG501 comes to mind) and of course in the old days when you couldn't buy Collinite here at AG, where did you go to get some?--the boat store! Not to mention you might see FK1000 there.

Plenty of real world testing (we have a massive marina next door to us after all). It makes the boat VERY easy to clean - hardly anything will stick to it.

Gel coat is far more porous than paint, and that was considered during the formulation of Captain's Boat Coating. You can use it on automotive paint, but you'll find that it tends to smear when you level any high spots. When used on gel coat it's a breeze to apply.

I figured it was tuned for the intended application...but I had to ask!
