CG RYAN Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I saw this in the west marine catalog and was wondering if anyone has tried it. I usually have really good luck with all the Star Brite stuff. http://www.starbrite.com/item/non-skid-deck-wax?category_id=561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCFD rtrd. Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've been using Woody's Wax with good results. I apply about twice a year. Looks like this stuff does the same job. Would be interested to see how long the Star Brite product lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I also use Woody Wax on my non skid....about every two or three months depending on usage. WW works great with fish blood. With Cobia / Tripletail / Tarpon the decks can take a beating. I'm happy with WW, I'd like to know how the Star Brite holds up with use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nauti Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Ok, somebody buy this stuff and try it out. This reminds me, I need to put some Woody Wax on soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Just applied some to my non skid so we'll see how it goes. I like that it was a lot cheaper than woody wax like 12 bucks even at west marine. I also like the application better than WW... its not easier per se but it doesn't involve water just spray on and wipe it with a cloth to spread evenly. IT definitely brought back a slight shine on the NS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I just started using Top Coat on my non skid and it seems to work fine but it has been on the Pathfinder only a few weeks. I don't fish bare footed and I have plenty of grip with deck shoes. This stuff is made by Decora in Jacksonville and my neighbor uses it on his airplanes and gave me some. Check these guys out on the net. They also have a product called T11 that can restore faded gel coat. I am planning a trip up there to see for myself.

Coto Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've been using fluid film that I pick up for $9.99 at Lowes and it is applied the same way as woodys wax. The deck has shine and the water beads on it when it gets wet. Today I got the whole deck muddied up as well as some blood and it washed off very easy.

mustang190 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ive been using it (Starbright) since I bought the boat. Works great, a lot cheaper than Woodys and I also use the Starbright deck cleaner. No issues and it keeps the boat looking new. Buy the deck cleaner on Amazon and by the gallon, a whole lot cheaper than in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck59 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Great product. been using for 3 years. My deck get brighter each time especially when I leave it in the sun for a few minutes before rinsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 BTW, there is another product from Aurora Marine....I've used it in the past. dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonecracker Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Not to change the subject here but I have been using Wood Wax for the past year due to other recommendations on here and other marine web sites. Here recently I have almost busted my assets a few times due to it being slippery on my non-skid!! So I am interested in this Star Brite product!!

bernieNC Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Key word here guys is "wax". Name one that is not slippery, especially when wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ive noticed since I scrubbed some of it off I'm still seeing a decent amount of water beading... fished on the boat last night and it wasn't slick at all so I think if its applied sparingly it might actually work and not be slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Applying Woody Wax is like drinking Single Malt Scotch......moderation is the key. Just saying.......JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
