johnd Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 About 5 weeks ago met young man with 'new' product he calls Mavinate. Not like polyglow, he tells me it will last 3-5 years on new hulls...well my 1991 is oxidized, etc. Previously I've had wetsanded, compounded, waxed..looks good but only lasts a few weeks..even multiple wax stays on for protection, but still looks old & faded. So he says my gel is really bad, like others says repaint. But what the heck - I'm ok to try. So he does The photo was taken during the process. Today, 5 weeks of direct sun and runs in the water, it still looks like the "after" photo. Time will tell. Btw: he did not compound, never used a buff wheel. He sprayed numerous cleaners on ( I had good coats of wax), and with a 3 or 4" roller put on his liquid. It dried like you see. So, time will tell...

Shallowminded6 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Any updates on how the product held out? Almost time for me to re wet sand mine and do my summer season waxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 You might look at Top Coat F-11. I just talked with them and I looked at the u tube video on the product. I ordered some but they are sold out. I do use their normal Top Coat sealer and it's great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 So real world..it's now been just over 1 year. I have used a product he gave me after washing to touch up a few times. hull repeals water (like a new wax job) and washes easy...BUT the oxidation look is back. Looked 'new' maybe 6-9 months, but now it's back to what it looked like before (except still easier to clean off slime). It cost as much as 2 or 3x a pro polish job, so no I would not do again.
