THE OUTLAW Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 A friend of mine bought a new trailer and he put the Shark Hide ploish and protectant on , and wow , it pops . So , he gave me a little sample , to see how it would do on my trailer . This stuff is amazing ! I t hurt telling my sled that she was going to go unused this weekend , but told her she would be happy . I am not completely done yet . But the factory aint got nada on the Hide Shine . Hopefully .... it lasts as long as they claim . 🇺🇸☠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Good stuff. I paid the factory (AmeraTrail) to apply shark hide during the trailer build. I reapply about once a year. My trailer is a 2013 and still looks new. It works on all metals as long as the metal is cleaned before application. My galvanized axles still look new.

hurricane Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 How did you apply the polish, by hand or with a machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Great product. Kept my 2016 trailer looking like the day I bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 If this wind keeps blowing I'm gonna need something to take up my time. Looks like a good weekend project. Did you use the Sharkhide cleaner prior to applying the protectant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE OUTLAW Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Na ! I have been polishing my trailer twice a year so it was not that bad off . It actually did not take too much elbow grease .... 😳 Just really looking forward to it lasting and not having to do it again for a while . Gots feesh to catch ! 🇺🇸☠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptDavis Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Great stuff. Use it on all my trailers. Water beads right off. Older trailers should use the cleaner first. Cotton baby diapers are what you should use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Anyone used the sharkhide cleaner on an oxidized trailer? How much elbow grease is involved? Is there a good brush that can be attached to a high speed cordless drill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipTide Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 On 4/30/2017 at 6:32 PM, hurricane said: Not this guy, my trailer is oxidized. Might I recommend an aluminum cleaner/brightener like AlumiPrep 33 or Henkel 594015 BONDERITE C-IC 33 or something along these lines if your allergic to elbow grease? Always check the MSDS's for chemical composition & comparison as a lot of this stuff is almost the same regardless of the name on the bottle and can be cheaper under different names. Due diligence gentlemen............., could make your life a little simpler, easier and nicer to your wallet. And don't forget to wear your PPE when playing with these chemicals.

conocean Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Good stuff but I'd rather feed homeless people at the church or volunteer my time to help less fortunate kids instead of make my trailer shiny! The condition of our hubs, tires, axles & support beams are what matter. But who knows....maybe one day I will restore my trailer's luster when I have absolutely nothing else better to do with my life. Shiny trailers definitely attract thieves and that's a fact!

And you call yourself a Maverick owner???? How can you justify feeding the poor when your trailer is dull and dingy?? Boats are people too, you know!

Yeah, sorry, I'm not into a blinging trailer and would rather donate my time to those in need. Also I'm in the boat & yacht insurance business....fact of the matter is that more boats are stolen on shiny trailers and only shiny trailers are stolen. You can definitely eat out of my hatches and bilge though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
