No but I swear by Colinite's fleetwax #885 or the insulator wax #845. I've used many different waxes and have found Collinite's to be long lasting and durable not to mention the mean shine you can achieve with it, with a little extra elbow grease. Good luck. I'm sure someone here has used it. PEACE

It's a liquid wax developed for power companies to protect against high voltage power outages fire,and explosions. Primarily used on autos, trucks,buses and aeroplanes where durability high gloss and long lasting protection are paramount according to Collinite. All I know is works and works well.

No follow instructions. Like any other wax. Do it in the shade or on a cloudy day if you use a machine keep the RPM's low or it will gum up the #885. Clean the hull well first your basics. There has been some really good Threads on how to really get a high gloss going. If your so inclined. Has anyone used SimplyWipe? Sorry SawWheat. Try it, the site is cool let us know how it works out. PEACE
